McDonald in the Global Market As I visited each site of each country, the similarities in products that McDonald offerings around the world are the burger sandwiches, dessert, lunch set menu, happy meal for kids, and drinks. The difference in the products offerings also different kind sandwich flavors, how many different type of cold, hot drinks, and dessert depend on the countries' weather, website color layout, and service they offering.

On the Thai menu, I notice a lot of cold drinks and cold dessert since Thailand is hot for all year long. Whereas the two countries located in middle east and Africa, Egypt and Israel, I notice there are more wrap and salad menu than any other countries.
