Weather Force recently ran an interesting story and infographic which compared the forces applied by fast food burger franchises throughout the United States of America. Since the infographic resembles a star map, this led to numerous Star Wars analogies. This is especially appropriate when you consider the fact that the McEmpire is represented by black, and the rebels, BK, Wendy’s, Sonic etc… are the other blotches of colour. Just how was the map created?
Each individual restaurant location has equal power. The entity that controls each point casts the most aggregate burger force upon it, as calculated by the inverse-square law – kind of like a chart outlining the gravitational wells of galactic star clusters, but in an alternate, fast food universe.
By far, the largest pocket of resistance is Sonic Drive-In’s south-central stronghold: more than 900 restaurants packed into the state of Texas alone. Sheer density is the key to victory!
