According to Modern Marvels-Fast Food Tech:

The amount of sesame seeds used on McDonald's buns equate to the weight of 2
Boeing 747's per year.

No wonder their buns are so heavy.

Somebody had to be smoking some serious weed to come up with this.

Pretty vague factoid!

So... McD's cuts back or increases sesame seeds to their buns during the
course of the year, based on sales so they'll have used two 747's weight
worth of sesame seeds per year?!?

Serious McD muchies too!

I was creating my post when you made yours. Crazy, the stuff they try to
slip past folks.

Modern Factoid Marvels is more like it!

Best,

Why, what is amazing about a simple calculation? From all the flying I
did I remember that the maximum takeoff weigh of a 747-400 (the latest
version and what most people think of as a 747) is around 850,000
pounds. I quick search tells me it is 875,000 pounds. Then all I would
need to do is look at an annual report etc that will likely tell me the
amount of seeds used or even weigh a sample and deduce the total from
sales figures.

Most of them end up it the bottom of the bags that the buns are
shipped to the store in.

Here's another fact: Smithfield pork farms produce enough pig shit
in a year to fill two Yankee stadiums.
