I really found all of these facts extremely interesting. I had no idea that the hamburger business is a 73 billion dollar business! That is actually insane when you really think about it! I know I absolutely love a well-cooked burger smothered in cheese, topped with tomatoes, lettuce and onions. I guess so does the rest of America! Thanks for sharing these cool facts! I’ll be sure to remember these when I eat a burger next!
