According to Fast Food Nation, 96 percent of children worldwide recognize Ronald McDonald, making him the most recognizable fictional character in the world, followed by Santa Claus.

The world’s largest toy distributor is none other than McDonald’s, thanks to their Happy Meals. And since transitioning to including more books rather than toys, McDonald’s has sold more books to kids as part of happy meals than are housed in the Library of Congress.

   1.   Hamburger

While the real origins of the popular hamburger remain unclear, the following theory is the most popular. It’s being said that meals like the “Hamburger Rundstück” were eaten by many emigrants on their way from Hamburg to America.

Many American people have claimed to be the real inventor of the Hamburger, but a regional American restaurant traces its origin to Hamburg, where the hamburger is to be invented by Otto Kuase.

2.   Earthworms

If you think about earthworms, most people react a pretty disgusted. I think that the big majority of people would never think about eating an earthworm. But they are actually extremely edible! They contain high levels of protein, iron, amino acids, calcium and a lot of other good stuff. Therefore earthworms are the survival food number one because you can just dig a hole and eat the earthworms in there – either cooked or raw.
