McDonalds has restaurants in 120 different countries and serves a
whopping 29 million people a day. But here's something you may not have
known: They also own 131 different words and phrases--including such
surprises as "Black History Makers of tomorrow" and "Healthy Growing
Up." They've trademarked them so no one else can use them. We've copied
them off the McDonalds Web site to show you that if we're not careful,
McDonalds may someday own the McWorld. Literally.
