No Burger King.

If a significant potion of those sales are from outside the US (which is likely), then an even smaller percentage of American eat there daily. Saying that over half of American's eat there everyday didn't seem to be right, so I did a quick "sanity check" calculation. $5 per person was just a ballpark guess to estimate the number of customers based on total sales.

For example in Portugal, in touristy areas, MCD is ridiculously expensive, while elsewhere it tends to be in crappy factory areas and is especially cheap. I seriously doubt that the Vietnamese or Africans are paying the same amount for McDonalds. That number has got to be off.

McDonald's reported $22.8 billion in sales in 2007. I'm guessing that the average customer spends about $5 (I dunno, haven't been to a McDonald's in years). So that gives an average of about 12.5 million customers per day. @Tardex

Also are you kidding me? Roughly 60%, or somewhere around there, of Americans eat there daily. Some study a few years back claimed something of the sort. I love the person who did this.
