Speaking only of France, low *cost* and the availability of something that wasn't previously available -- fast food in a place where you can sit down to eat it. Most other French fast-food outlets (crepes, felafels, etc.) were in the past of the order-it-from-a-counter-and-take-it-away variety, something that really didn't appeal to the French mentality. And it's taking its toll on the French, too. The main clientele of American fast-food chains are the youth, and they are starting to show alarming signs of obesity. If you want a shock, walk in Paris and notice the general slimness of the population, and then walk into a KFC or Burger King franchise franchise and notice all the fatties.
