 When I have a business trip by myself, I often go to Mcdonald's for a meal. The reason that I like Mcdonald's is not for its cheap -- it is expensive more than most of Chinese snacks,but for its clean and simple, quick and convenient.
I like Mcdonald's also for the beautiful color on its cover. I am sure,if you enter the Mcdonald's, the firs color that jumps into your view is the bright red -- Red French Fries covers, Red Spicy McWings boxes, Red Apple Pies case and red and yellow logo. The bright red not only attracts your notice, but also stimulates your appetite and enjoys your eyes. :-)
 Even the surface of the cups of the coke, is designed to be beautiful red and yellow geometry form. The blank space is interspersed with artistic coke mark and some beautiful pattern. As far as the boxes of apple pales pie, when you see them upright, you will think of a little toy horse, two big eyes,two turn up ears and long long face. What is like of the cover of the French fries? I am not sure, just feel it is pretty. Maybe for the red and yellow is too monotone. There are few of the covers are in light blue or other colors. So,when you eat some things in the Mcdonald's, face a lot of beautiful covers,boxes, and the food itself, sit in the room that decorate by paintings, lights, paper streamer, you will feel that you are enjoying all of the things at the same time, the food itself(even thought I do not like to eat it very much), beautiful art works and comfortable entironment.
 I am thinking, as a food culture. Mcdonald's could be one of representation of the snacks. Maybe many poeple do not know who is the president of the U.S, then they know Mcdonald's. No matter in the Western world or the Eastern world, you can see the red and yellow mark "M" in all of the big cities. When the Easterners travel in the Western countries, they often think of it. When the Westerners are in the Eastern countries, they also think of it. I think when people have forgotten where it is from, it is the day that Mcdonald's culture is melt into world culture. Mcdonald's should be the pride of the American snack culture and has become one of the best of food culture in the world.
 I like Mcdonald's, for its quick, convenient and beautiful. Do you agree with me?
