  1. For anyone wandering about Moroccan/Western Sahara, there are two universities plus 2 Sup schools and one McDonald’s

  2. It is easier to build a McDonalds than it is to build a university. An individual university can also handle a greater number of people that an individual McDonalds

  3. The university I went to was enormous. It had a student body the size of my home town and had at least 2 McDonalds on campus.

  4. Certainly out of the left field this map. Love how the 3 baltic countries happen to be all different from eachother

  5. There are more than 7,500 McDonald’s in Mainland China, but only 3167 universities in there.

    >As of the end of 2025, McDonald’s operated over 7,740 restaurants in China.
    The company also continues to expand, with plans to reach 10,000 restaurants in the country by 2028, according to media reports last year.

    >As of Dec 31, Yum China (KFC and Pizza Hut) had a total of 18,101 restaurants in operation. The company continues to focus on driving growth through its multibrand strategy, diversified store models and strong delivery capabilities, and is on track to expand its store count to over 30,000 by 2030.

  6. Doesn’t say anything when some countries have relatively small but many unis and vice versa

  7. Lithuania carefully regulating the number of universities and McDonald’s so as to have an even number:

  8. What a stupid map, what does it shows? That they have fast foods? They have more swiming pools too 🤷

  9. theWhiteLukeBabbitt on

    And the US has more traffic intersections than McDonald’ses,, really makes you think

  10. As a colorblind person, why must there always be blue/purple in these maps? They always look the same 🙁
