Shows how hard it is to predict the future. (McDonalds)

Saw the film last night and really enjoyed it but the scene with the McDonald's in it really struck a chord with me, and not only was it a great visual gag, but I just thought how hard is it to predict the future?

I mean everybody always thinks hoverboards and silver suits and the like, but who would have thought in the last 20 years McDonald's would have stopped using those styrofoam containers.

Be amazing to think though in 200 years will there be a McDonald's at all?

Or that McDonalds would replace "99 billion served" with "billions and billions served"... it's still a great gag, mostly by how far out he goes with the number...
