● Of the 15 toppings available for personalising a burger, the most popular toppings are, in order: 1. Lettuce, 2. Ketchup, 3. Grilled onion, 4. Bacon, 5. Tomato; if you were to order a burger every day in an attempt to try out every single burger combination available, it would take 684 years to try them all!
● Every day, approximately 1,122 bags of 25kg of potatoes are hand-cut into fresh fries across the UK. Brits have a clear preference for the classic salted fries, ordering three times as many compared to the Cajun spiced alternative.
