yeah, i saw this on the news tonight....they already have a few of these "multi-choice" restaurants here like an A&W and Long Johns combo.....doesn't really bug me, sometimes makes it easier on the rare occasions when i take the kids out for fast food....

Inc. (matches their ticker symbol). The whole point is "co-branding" - 2 brands under the same roof, e.g. Taco Bell and Long John Silver's, so if the parents and the kids want different food there can still be family peace. This is also faster and cheaper than searching for another site and going through the permit approvals process. Gee, between YUM, McDonalds, and Burger King, there aren't many other players anymore. (BTW extra credit if you knew that McDonalds owns Boston Market.) -Ben _________________________________________________________________ _____ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
