Grand Openings: When Mcdonald's Invaded Russia

This Grand Opening I attended: Scene McDonald’s, Moscow, Queue extended over Under Pushkin Square (Some saw the poet’s Spirit rise and sniff The air). No Royalty to cut The ribbon, courtesy Of Comrade Lenin, Just some shivering, Hatless Business Guys With Cheeseburger Eyes, Cutting Communism down To size with French Fries, Beating back The Russian Winter With Hot Apple Pies.

Well you have me smiling yet again. A little known fact it was MacDonalds Canada that opened the Russian market, and capitalism at its best, they helped to improve the food chain by improving things as growing potatoes, improving storage and delivery, that helped all there not only themselves!!! Great wite!
