Anderson and Ingram got screwed!


Damn criminal McDonalds brothers. Stole from Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson.

Those guys started the first burger chain over 30 years before McDonald's and popularized the hamburger in America. They invented the hamburger bun and the paper carryout idea that the brothers stole for their speedee system.

Ingram even started a whole company to meet the paper goods needs.

In 1920 Americans had a negative attitude about ground meat sandwiches. The quality was horrible. Only through the heroic efforts of these 2 men did people start to enjoy the hamburger.

They began their chain in 1921 only to have Mack and Dick steal all their best ideas.

Bastards!
