Yes, and they all belong to a franchise that enforces different aspects of how the business is ran.
As opposed to talking about "every local deli in existence," each of which is entirely self-contained and none of which are coordinating with each other on the food they serve or how they prepare it.
Not sure how this isn't really obviously an inane thing to say to you. Some local places are probably the best sources for sandwiches in the world. SOME. Many others are probably absolute shit. A franchise in contrast gives you a decent amount of familiarity with what you're getting into. The McDonald's model was successful just because it's fast and cheap. The other part that makes it work is it's very familiar. I can go anywhere in the US and there will likely be a McDonald's around. And I'll at least have an idea of the what kind of meal I'm going to have if I grab a Sausage McMuffin from there vs. if I go to Literally Who's Mom & Pop Diner and maybe get a better meal or maybe get something I hate that wastes my time and money.

Suck a dick, schizos. I'm just an autist who has a hard time walking away from pointless arguments. Also I have a bit of a grudge against non-chain food because it would creep me out as a kid playing Russian roulette on random no name crap forced on me because I'm staying at a friend's house. Just order Pizza Hut you assholes, I don't want to eat at your "hidden gem" faggot restaurant.

>Cumulative urine output at 4 h after ingestion of cola, diet cola, hot tea, iced tea, coffee, lager, orange juice, sparkling water, and a sports drink were not different from the response to water ingestion.

>The same goes for tea, juice, milk and caffeinated sodas: One glass provides about the same amount of hydrating fluid as a glass of water. The only common drinks that produce a net loss of fluids are those containing alcohol.
Reminder "chronic dehydration" is a lie & Danone's been caught shilling in academic journals:

>Over the last few weeks, those who visited the British Medical Journal's website might have noticed an advert for a new public health initiative, Hydration for Health. It is sponsored by Danone – which owns the Evian, Volvic and Badoit bottled water brands – and urges healthcare professionals to encourage people to drink more water, claiming that "evidence is increasing that even mild dehydration plays a role in the development of various diseases".
>Margaret McCartney, a GP and columnist, saw these adverts and complained about it, writing an article for the BMJ (who admitted "we hadn't followed our own guidelines. The advertisement bypassed our editorial checks") about the lack of evidence – and citing the shortcomings of many studies – that people should be drinking more water.
Also 8 glasses a day is a misunderstanding of a 1945 Food and Nutrition Board article.

>A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 litres daily in most instances. An ordinary standard for diverse persons is 1 millilitre for each calorie of food. Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. If the last, crucial sentence is ignored, the statement could be interpreted as instruction to drink eight glasses of water a day.
