Tim Hortons Café and Bake shop ("Timmies"), has grown from a mere, single coffee shop to an international operating corporation over the last four decades. So what?, one might ask. Timmies has maintained the Canadian family culture founded by the chains original owner, Tim Horton, the once star hockey player. Tragically, Tim Horton was killed in an accident in 1974 but the same family values linger on.

As mention before, Restaurant Brands International is a merger company that contains Burger King, a coffee shop and a restaurant called Tim Hortons. Since it was a merger that occurred in 2014, there isn’t much info for the company; however, since Burger King has been almost as old as McDonalds so much of the info will come from Burger King. Burger King is practically the same as McDonalds created in 1950s yet a few years later after its competitor was born. The main difference of how it was created was that Burger King started off like a stove and that name of the stove was named Insta-Boiler.
McDonald’s is always keeping up with food trends and is continually tuned in to their customer’s needs and wants.

I. IntroductionBecause of the omnipotence of fast food chains in America, when we feel the urge for an easy meal, Americans, in general, immediately look to the fast food nation for a quick suppression to their hunger.

Corporations spend billions of dollars advertising to enhance sales of their products. With American catching on to the lack of healthy food options in the fast food nation, fast food chains began campaigning healthier food such as their salads and fruit cups. However salads may sound healthy but a Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken from McDonalds has 320 calories and 90 grams of fat. Where's the "healthy" in that.
