Meet the @AboutMcDonalds Twitter Team
Thanks for visiting the @AboutMcDonalds Twitter page, your source for snack-size information about McDonald's Corporation. We're excited to listen, learn, and join in on the conversation, and we hope you'll learn a thing or two about us!

The members of our trusty Twitter team are busy tweeting about all things McDonald's, all over the world:

  • Our food (Did you know we serve Red Bean Pie in Hong Kong and Quiche de Queijo in Brazil?)
  • Our history (Fun fact: When the first McD's opened in Russia in 1990, it was hailed as 'Hamburger Diplomacy')
  • Our people (Meet McD's nutritionist Cindy Goody)
  • Notable news and info about our business (McD's has been recognized as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens for 2010)
  • What we're made of (Here's a Filet-O-Fish you can feel good about: In 2008 more than 98% of all McD's fish came from fisheries w/favorable sustainable ratings)
Sorry, we'll have to keep you guessing about our Special Sauce!

Click here to learn more about our company, and take a minute to meet the people behind the 140-character-or-less nuggets at @AboutMcDonalds. We look forward to getting to know you!
