Around the Middle East, Europe, South, East, and SouthEast Asia I have seen McDonalds, Burger King, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Subway, KFC, Taco Bell, Dunkin' Donuts, Wendy's, Domino's, Papa John's, Dairy Queen, Popeyes, Krispy Kreme, Quiznos, Baskin Robbins, Hardee's (Carls Jr is the same restaurant), Little Ceasars, and Chipotle. I've seen Tim Horton's in the UAE (only place outside of North America they have any stores). So, if you're well traveled, even if you've never been to the USA or Canada, you could get 20.

I've also seen a lot of Sbarro, Potbelly, Shakey's Pizza, Costa Coffee, Seattle's Best Coffee, Cinnabon, Texas Chicken, Firehouse Subs, etc but those don't make the list.

If you add all the countries up perhaps. Here there only is mcdonalds and burgerking and dominos. Not sure if we allready had starbucks and subway in 2013 their arrival here is relatively recent. So I think saying half of these places are availabe in many countries is a huge exageration. Btw it is clearly seen in the results. The top 10 (minus chick-fil-a and plus kfc) Scores way higher than all the rest. it drops from 75% to 50% after that (funilly enough those 10 are the only ones I have heard of aswell. and the lowest one, wendys I have only heard of a few years ago) 28/50 scoring below 25% rightfully guessed says it all I would say. Nevertheless, interesting to do. Interesting that there are so many pizzia, burger, chicken, sandwhich stores. And only One coffee store. Guess they ve made it quite big

Tim Horton's has an extremely impressively large share of the Canadian coffee and breakfast market, however their penetration into the USA has been restricted to certain areas and outside of those two countries they only have a handful of stores and those are all in the UAE. I had personally never heard of them before taking this quiz the first time, though after I took the quiz I noticed a Tim Horton's in Dubai.

While some like McDonald's and Subway are everywhere, many of these places are regional. For example, Whataburger is based in Texas, while In-N-Out Burger is based in California. For me, the nearest Moe's is two hours to the east, and the nearest Tim Horton's is about ten hours to the north.

This comment doesn't really make sense. It lists the 50 most popular fast food chains; it doesn't say how much business each one does. I could list the 50 best-selling underground anarchist punk albums too. It still doesn't mean they sell a ton of copies. The obesity epidemic is a complicated problem. Yes, fast food is largely garbage with little nutritional value, but people place too much blame on it. Of course, I sense your comment was largely tongue-in-cheek, but it reminded me of many people who want to blame their obesity on McDonald's, rather than trying to fix it themselves.

In 2011 Congress passed a bill which prohibited the USDA from requiring more nutritional school lunches. The bill stopped the USDA from raising the amount of tomato paste required to classify pizza as a vegetable in school lunches from two tablespoons to 1/2 cup. As long as pizza contains at least two tablespoons of tomato paste it counts as a vegetable. Pickle relish also counts as a veggie. The bill also prohibited reducing the amount of potatoes in school lunches, and prohibited raising the required amount of green vegetables in school lunches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketchup_as_a_vegetable We teach our kids at a young age that pizza is healthy food.

We have Burger Fuel here in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, which is from New Zealand I think. They try to sell themselves as healthy fast food, but, I'm not really convinced. Only thing from down under we have around these parts that I'm aware of is Outback- I think their Aussie Cheese Fries were ranked as the worst thing you could order from *any* restaurant (in terms of being healthy), with the Bloomin' Onion not far behind. You must be saving all the healthy stuff for yourselves.

I don't think you can order poutine at any major American restaurant. But the Aussie cheese fries has the same number of fat layers... potatoes soaked, saturated, and cooked in animal fat; smothered in a melted layer of cow milk fat and sprinkled with additional bits of pig fat, then dipped in ranch dressing (more fat)...

Living in Atlanta I'm pretty confident but not entirely sure that Chick-fil-A, Zaxbys, Whataburger, Church's Chicken, Bojangles, Steak n Shake, Checkers, Del Taco, Captain D's, are all pretty frequent to southern areas of the country but rare in other places. I've never seen a Whataburger outside of Texas even. Chick-fil-A is one of the most dominant fast food chains in the south though, which boosts its way near the top of the list.

I'm Canadian and I didn't think Tim Horton's would be on the list. I eventually guessed it when I was running out of ideas, and I was pleasantly surprised. Personally I prefer it to Starbucks because It's mostly just plain old coffee done well. They have started doing some lattes and other junk as well, but they always make a great cup of regular black coffee

News that they have started using that impossible bleeding not meat stuff reminded me of them. No Chilli's ' important since it is the chilli) and no Peets even though they are all through CA and West Coast. Considering the size of the West it tells you something about fast food and the East?

Fast food isn't all bad in moderation, and usually there are some healthier options available. Just don't "supersize" anything, and lean more to the salad and grilled chicken offerings. I usually drink plain water and avoid the fries. When pressed for time it's a nice option. To paraphrase Michael Pollan, "If you eat clean 90% of the time, 10% unhealthy food won't hurt you, but if you eat badly 90% of the time, 10% healthy won't help you."

Only 7 of them exist in France where I live: McDonald's; KFC; Pizza Hut; Subway; Starbucks; Burger King. I also found Arby's; Wendy's; Taco Bell and Tim Hortons because I traveled to the USA once and to Canada several times, fast foods were also way better than here. I remember I've got diarrhea for eating a pizza at Pizza Hut nearby home. Anyway I miss Canada and the fast foods there lol

In Belgium only 5 of these on the local market (McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, Pizza Hut and Domino's). Three (Subway, Domino's and Pizza Hut) have more staff than customers. Wouldn't eat there as I find what they serve to be quite horrid. Yet managed to get 28/50, beating 80.3%. All the major ones have a lot of product placement in American movies and tv. Conclusion: stop complaining.

I've patronized Sbarros in the United States, the Philippines, and Saudi Arabia. Some locations are better than others; quality varies a lot. The one at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam makes pretty decent pesto. Also, in spite of seeing them in several geographically disparate locations, I've never seen that many of them.

In no way or form is Steak and Shake a fast food restaurant. It's a diner since your entire order is handled by waitstaff and you are seated by a hostess in most cases. I know they are classified as fast food by the source, but that doesn't make it right. If they are fast food then Denny's and IHOP should be as well.
