By Leave a Comment

Oh, the times they are a-changin’! Change is inevitable — be it at the Disney Parks or the non-theme park world. Sometimes those changes are a product of trends and one major trend has us contemplating the future of a major fast-food chain.

McDonald’s

We make it a point to follow the trends, especially at the Disney Parks. For example, last month we noticed Ozempic’s (a Type 2 diabetes medication now also used for weight management) rise in popularity and considered its possible effects on Disney World’s profits. This got us thinking — how might the Ozempic trend affect a mega fast-food chain’s profits, such as McDonald’s?
