Whew, no one in America should be further than 107 miles from a Big Mac

Something about this map really depresses me. In a world that celebrates diversity and individual achievement, why is there so much sameness, sameness, sameness.

The furthest you can get from a McDonald’s in the United States is a spot in South Dakota between the hamlets of Meadow and Glad Valley. From there, it’s 107 miles to the nearest McDonalds.

Realize that the person writing this post once lived an hour’s drive away from the nearest 7-11 — and regularly made the trip.

    It’s about forty minutes (give or take) from Souris to McDonalds and a regular trip as a teenager: “Hey, guys. Wanna go on a Mac run?”

    Oh Keith, stop telling Whoppers.

    I too have a beef with that tale. It just doesn’t cut the mustard.
