Mucho antes de que las redes sociales existieran, McDonald's y Burger King ya llevaban décadas lanzándose ataques, copiándose ideas y peleando por algo aparentemente simple: vender hamburguesas más rápido que nadie.

Pero la historia empieza antes de los anuncios agresivos y las patatas gigantes.
Empieza en carreteras polvorientas de Estados Unidos, cuando comer fuera aún era casi un lujo familiar y nadie imaginaba que una hamburguesa terminaría convirtiéndose en un símbolo global.

McDonald’s fue el primero.

Todo comenzó en 1940, cuando los hermanos Richard McDonald y Maurice McDonald abrieron un pequeño restaurante en San Bernardino, California.
Al principio no tenía nada revolucionario: era un autocine típico americano, con camareras llevando comida a los coches.

Pero los hermanos se dieron cuenta de algo importante.
Lo que más vendían no eran platos elaborados.
Eran hamburguesas, patatas y refrescos.
Así que hicieron algo radical para la época: simplificaron todo el menú y rediseñaron la cocina casi como una cadena de montaje industrial.

El sistema se llamó “Speedee Service System”.
Básicamente aplicaron lógica de fábrica a la comida.
Cada trabajador hacía una tarea concreta, todo estaba medido al segundo y las hamburguesas salían rapidísimo y baratas.
Aquello cambió para siempre la restauración moderna.

El problema es que los hermanos McDonald no eran grandes empresarios expansivos.
Ahí entra uno de los personajes más importantes y controvertidos de esta historia: Ray Kroc.

Kroc era vendedor de máquinas de batidos cuando vio el restaurante y entendió inmediatamente el potencial.
Donde los hermanos veían un restaurante exitoso, él veía miles.
En 1955 abrió la primera franquicia moderna de McDonald’s en Illinois y comenzó una expansión salvaje.

Con el tiempo, Kroc terminó quedándose con el control total de la empresa.
La relación con los hermanos acabó bastante mal.
Según muchas versiones, sintieron que les habían arrebatado su propia creación. Ray Kroc construyó el imperio, sí, pero la idea original no había sido suya.

Mientras McDonald’s empezaba a extenderse por Estados Unidos, Burger King aparecía unos años después, en 1953, en Jacksonville, Florida.
Originalmente ni siquiera se llamaba Burger King, sino Insta-Burger King.
Sus fundadores fueron Keith J. Kramer y Matthew Burns, inspirados precisamente por el éxito inicial de McDonald’s.

La empresa tuvo problemas económicos casi desde el principio, y acabó siendo comprada por dos franquiciados: James McLamore y David Edgerton.
Ellos sí fueron quienes transformaron Burger King en una verdadera rival nacional.

Y aquí aparece la primera gran diferencia entre ambas cadenas.

McDonald’s apostaba por uniformidad extrema.
Todo debía saber igual en cualquier lugar del mundo.
Burger King, en cambio, empezó a vender una imagen algo más “rebelde”, centrada en hamburguesas más grandes y hechas a la parrilla.
En 1957 lanzaron la Whopper, que se convirtió en su respuesta directa a la hamburguesa estándar de McDonald’s.

Desde entonces empezó una guerra comercial que lleva más de medio siglo.

Durante décadas se copiaron mutuamente:

🍔menús infantiles,
🍔desayunos,
🍔tamaños gigantes,
🍔promociones,
🍔juguetes,
🍔mascotas,
🍔e incluso colores y estilos de locales.

Pero lo más divertido fueron los ataques publicitarios.

Burger King se hizo famosa por provocar constantemente a McDonald’s en anuncios.
Hubo campañas donde regalaban hamburguesas si alguien iba primero a un McDonald’s, otras donde la “sombra” de los arcos dorados aparecía persiguiendo clientes, y anuncios insinuando que las hamburguesas de Burger King eran más grandes o menos artificiales.

McDonald’s casi siempre respondió de manera mucho más fría y corporativa, porque durante la mayor parte del tiempo fue la empresa dominante.
Cuando eres el gigante, normalmente evitas parecer desesperado.

Aun así, la rivalidad llegó a niveles absurdos.

En algunos países las cadenas terminaron prácticamente puerta con puerta, observándose como enemigos históricos.
Y en internet la pelea siguió con memes, campañas virales y bromas públicas constantes.

Curiosamente, hubo un momento donde Burger King intentó una tregua.

En 2015 propusieron crear una hamburguesa conjunta llamada “McWhopper” para celebrar el Día de la Paz.
McDonald’s rechazó la idea públicamente.
La campaña dio muchísima publicidad a Burger King, que quedó como la marca “divertida” frente al gigante serio.

Mientras tanto, las dos empresas fueron cambiando de manos.

Hoy McDonald’s pertenece a McDonald's Corporation, una gigantesca multinacional cotizada en bolsa con miles de franquicias por todo el planeta.
Ya no existe un “dueño único” como en tiempos de Ray Kroc, aunque grandes fondos de inversión poseen partes importantes de la compañía.

Burger King actualmente forma parte de Restaurant Brands International, el grupo que también controla cadenas como Tim Hortons o Popeyes.
Detrás hay fondos financieros enormes y accionistas internacionales.

Y aquí viene algo curioso: aunque venden hamburguesas, en realidad hoy ambas compañías ganan muchísimo dinero gracias al negocio inmobiliario.

McDonald’s especialmente perfeccionó un modelo donde compra terrenos y luego alquila los locales a sus propios franquiciados.
Mucha gente cree que es solo una empresa de comida rápida, pero durante décadas algunos analistas la describieron como una empresa inmobiliaria disfrazada de hamburguesería.

La rivalidad continúa, aunque el panorama ha cambiado mucho.
Hoy compiten también contra cadenas más modernas, comida saludable, aplicaciones de reparto y consumidores que miran más ingredientes y precios.

Pero aun así, pocas guerras comerciales han durado tanto ni han sido tan reconocibles.

Porque al final, detrás de cada hamburguesa barata, hay una historia enorme de ambición, marketing, dinero y egos empresariales.

Y todo empezó con dos hermanos intentando servir comida más rápido en una carretera de California.

‘Apple Pay’ mistaken for pies in viral fast food encounters

@jamesholden @chrisn Most independent places in the UK are pretty good, to be fair. The big chains are often terrible - #McDonalds don't serve *anything* gluten free at all, not even the fries; #Tesco cafe are similarly bad.

#PremierInn, #PizzaHut, #Dominos are all pretty good.

IMHO there should be a law that companies over a certain size *must* accommodate dietary requirements properly (I will give small companies a pass because it is hard, but as mentioned, they usually do it anyway)

Why you’re paying more for your Amazon order than you realize
https://www.ms.now/opinion/gao-amazon-doordash-uber-lyft-snap-medicaid

According to the GAO report, an estimated 13.8 million American adults enrolled in Medicaid, and 10.6 million who live in a household that receives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits worked at least part time in 2024. Two-thirds of that group worked full-time jobs, clocking in 35 or more hours each week. Most of these employed recipients of federal benefits worked in some of the lowest-paying jobs in the country, but an estimated 35% of them were employed at companies with more than 1,000 workers.

As The Washington Post reported in its analysis of the GAO data, the top employers of these federal beneficiaries are some of the nation’s biggest and most well-known companies. “The number of Amazon workers relying on the federal programs for the poor nearly tripled between February 2020 and September 2025,” the Post noted, to around 12,346 workers who needed SNAP assistance and 11,338 who had to rely on Medicaid. “And for the first time, ride-hailing and app-based food delivery companies — Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Grubhub and Instacart — collectively ranked among the top three employers with workers receiving aid.” Rounding out the group: Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, as well as Dollar General and McDonald’s.

Kauft eigentlich irgend wer noch bei Domino's oder McDonald's ein? Gerade wieder überlegt dort einzukaufen, aber eine einzige Mahlzeit würde mich da über 30 Euro kosten. Das ist seit dem letzten Mal als ich dort eingekauft habe nochmal um 10 Euro teurer geworden. Selbst das Essen im Congress Center Hamburg war da billiger...

Channing Tatum e Kirsten Dunst estrelam ‘O Bom Bandido’

Opinión | José Víctor Rodríguez -Sociedad | La palabra bajo fuego

En México, ejercer el periodismo equivale a caminar sobre un campo minado.

Por José Víctor Rodríguez Nájera  

El riesgo no es retórico ni abstracto: entre enero y julio de 2025, al menos ocho periodistas fueron asesinados por informar. Las cifras sitúan al país como el más peligroso de América Latina para la prensa, superando a naciones en conflicto y con redes criminales extendidas. Informar es, en este territorio, una actividad de alto riesgo.

La organización Reporteros Sin Fronteras (RSF) ha alertado sobre la escalada de violencia letal contra comunicadores en la región. Trece periodistas murieron en el continente durante los primeros siete meses del año. Ocho de ellos en México. No por errores ni accidentes: los ejecutaron por publicar investigaciones, por incomodar al poder, por evidenciar al crimen. Por cumplir con su trabajo.

Entre las víctimas se encuentra Calletano de Jesús Guerrero, asesinado en el estado de México, a pesar de estar inscrito desde 2014 en un mecanismo federal de protección. También Alejandro Gallegos de León, quien dirigía La Voz del Pueblo y había documentado al crimen organizado. Las historias se acumulan. Las respuestas del Estado permanecen estancadas en discursos huecos.

La violencia contra la prensa se nutre de dos males: la impunidad y la inacción. Las investigaciones rara vez llegan a una resolución. En ocasiones, como en el caso de Kristian Zavala Martínez y Raúl Irán Villarreal Belmont, ni siquiera se esclarecen los móviles, aunque sus coberturas sobre desapariciones forzadas apuntan a represalias claras. Guanajuato, Guerrero, Sonora, Puebla, Quintana Roo… Ninguna entidad es territorio seguro para informar.

En la capital del país, Cozumel o Acapulco, periodistas han sido asesinados minutos después de transmitir en vivo, como Ronald Paz Pedro, o encontrados sin vida tras años de amenazas, como Melvin García. El sistema de protección del Estado no previene ni reacciona a tiempo. La violencia se perpetúa mientras los perpetradores gozan de impunidad y los gobiernos de silencio.

No se trata solo de la omisión de justicia. Es la criminalización indirecta del oficio. La narrativa oficial que minimiza, sospecha o desacredita. En un país donde denunciar puede equivaler a firmar la sentencia de muerte, el silencio se convierte en un mecanismo de supervivencia. Y eso erosiona la democracia.

En América Latina, la situación es igualmente grave. En Perú, Gastón Medina y Raúl Celis fueron asesinados por sus coberturas sobre corrupción y crimen ambiental. En Colombia, el periodista Óscar Gómez murió investigando nexos entre grupos armados y autoridades. Y en Ecuador, el editor Patricio Aguilar pagó con su vida un reportaje sobre redes de corrupción en el puerto de Esmeraldas.

La constante en todos estos casos es el abandono. La mayoría de las víctimas trabajaban en medios locales o comunitarios. Cubrían temas sensibles. Denunciaban abusos. En ocasiones ya habían sido amenazadas o contaban con medidas cautelares insuficientes. El asesinato termina por silenciar voces imprescindibles.

En México, tres de cada cuatro agresiones contra periodistas no se castigan. El Mecanismo de Protección federal, aunque necesario, opera con escasos recursos y bajo estructuras burocráticas que no permiten reacción inmediata. No hay coordinación entre federación y estados. No existe prevención. Solo reacciones lentas y lamentos institucionales.

Las autoridades federales prometen reformas, pero la situación no cambia. La mandataria Claudia Sheinbaum ha expresado su preocupación, pero hasta ahora no se ha presentado una estrategia integral que garantice el derecho a informar. La prensa crítica necesita más que retórica: requiere garantías, recursos y decisiones firmes.

México no debe aspirar a consolidar una democracia mientras sus periodistas mueren sin justicia. No habrá transformación real si el derecho a la libertad de expresión se ejerce bajo amenaza. La prensa no es enemiga del Estado. Es su espejo, su contrapeso, su conciencia. Cuando se apaga una voz, se apaga una parte del país.

En ninguna profesión se justifica que informar implique riesgo de muerte. La libertad de expresión no puede depender del azar ni de la geografía. Tiene que ser un derecho garantizado, no una temeridad heroica. Hoy, el periodismo mexicano sobrevive a balazos. Mañana podría no sobrevivir.

Punto Cero

Hoy se sabe que, desde enero pasado la Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) busca en todo el mundo a Hernán Bermúdez Requena, ex secretario de Seguridad de Tabasco. Lo acusan por mantener presuntos vínculos con la célula delictiva conocida como La Barredora. ¿Qué ha hecho la autoridad en estos seis meses?

This morning, I used DeepL and Grammarly to proofread English sentences for my mother’s emails to her acquaintances. Then, I needed help with using LLM to improve my vocabulary. Because sometimes it includes inappropriate words in specific contexts.

But I can always communicate here about my mundane daily life despite my complete and utter lack of English speaking ability, which is truly a miracle created by technology, including LLM. As you soon discover, I can’t speak or hear English when you talk to me. Having over 1100 followers on Fedi is something of a miracle for me. And I always think that all English-speaking people. You are doing yourself a great disservice by not being able to grasp how mediocre most of the rest of the non-English speaking world thinks and how close they are to you. The bias brought about by the fact that it is a foreign language is very significant.

The three best cloud services I found worth the money.

1. Cloudflare Domain
2. DeepL API Pro
3. Grammarly Pro

I also loved McDonald’s, Apple, 7-Eleven, Costco, Uniqlo, SHEIN, Cup Noodles, TP-Link, Avira, and Nintendo, and I was unusually obsessed with the beauty of uniformed products everywhere.

While I was fiddling with my MacBook Air at my favorite cafe at lunchtime, news of Elon Musk’s addiction to illegal drugs popped up on my Firefish timeline.

Elon Musk Has Used Illegal Drugs, Worrying Leaders at Tesla and SpaceX

He’s the very definition of a malignant ADHD patient trying to maintain his axis of thought by resorting to unscientific folk remedies.

Maybe I am strongly biased, but I think all people who are suspected of having ADHD by their doctors but don’t try to treat it have some form of aggression. Acknowledging oneself as a person with a disability and receiving appropriate treatment is a path to goodwill that contributes to society. Let me confess. There was a time when I had evil thoughts, just like Elon Musk. I had indeed fallen to the dark side at that time.

By the way, Inkscape has a feature for downloading public domain SVG material collections. Has that been implemented since version 1.3.x? I looked for version 1.2.2 and couldn’t find it. Soon, I found it in File => Import Web Image.

Then, I thought of learning from the quality of Inkscape’s sample materials. Because truly skilled creators can create something with design and character using only basic shapes and public domain materials and make “copyright” out of nothing. One of my junior girls has a clear view of what constitutes creativity under copyright law. She has the aptitude to be an in-house designer. She understands some of what it means to be a designer.

Even if you subscribe to expensive Adobe products such as PhotoShop or Illustrator, if you cannot highly abstract what you see (i.e., compose richer, more memorable representations with less data size) using a combination of basic shapes and free transformations, then you cannot be an in-house designer because you cannot produce something with copyright, what I have learned through Western music composition.

Classical Western music composition is like a 4KB Megademo, a competition aiming to produce more storable information with a limited formula data size. The originality of creativity in metaphysics is the ability to abstract what the creator sees or hears with a lesser combination of formulas. The difference between art and design is irrelevant in this regard. Although there is a compositional style in contemporary music, the spectral school, which imitates the frequency spectrum in its scores, has a large data size for its formulas because its degree of abstraction is not based on the free deformation of basic figures, and for that, they are not aware of the amount of information that the human body can recognize and memorize, so they made a big mistake. In defining creativity in metaphysics, the question is how highly abstract it can be. Deep Learning can only replicate existing data in a form similar to them, not decompose it into a form suitable for cognitive science. Therefore, LLMs are not currently able to create. They only violate copyright. If you deny the importance of abstraction, there can be no art after LLM.

I have relative and absolute pitch sensitivity to distinguish a 0.2 Hz pitch difference in pitch in the 440 Hz hearing band. Yet, I never understood the philosophy of the spectral school of music because I want to be friendly to all humanity. For example, the common illustration language for all humanity today is SVG, not the paper canvases displayed in museums.

In an instant, I have dismissed the value of fine art, but I don’t care. I was such an extreme globalist and standardizer that the University of the Arts faculty severely disliked me. It is not Western music if we cannot play on Web Audio in Mozilla Firefox because it is not standardized for all humanity.

“Stop composing with sheet music!

We are creating for all nerds!”

I used to shout all those things.

And I have always loved living my life as an ordinary person. I didn’t want to be an artist. I wanted to be a modern office worker who could modify some Vue.js, TypeScript, and node.js source codes. I was always ADHD, always longing for ordinary people.

So, “What is a normal person?”

Let this be the subject of my journal discussion today.

“People should standardize.”

I posted on Fedi, and one of my friends shared the following link:

“#ProductManagement must standardize for #accessibility:”

I love Cloudflare now. I want to be a receptionist at a Pokemon Center. Because they have servers and offices everywhere, and they work 24/7.
They are so standardized that they are my dream. Unify the world!

However, I feel this way because their accessibility was of high quality!
Is it that products and services must be standardized to fit all the diverse users and not people forced to standardize?

If so, why did I long to be an ordinary, healthy, non-ADHD person?
