In his documentary, Spurlock eats only food from McDonald’s for a month (thirty days) to see how his health can be affected and he is examined by three doctors before, during, after the experiment. Through plentiful statistics, various interviews, images (footage), and results from his experiment, Spurlock successfully develops his argument in his documentary that the consumption of fast foods is generally responsible for Americans’ health problems, particularly obesity. The film begins with a plethora of statistics and information about McDonalds, which gives the audience not only knowledge, but also awareness of how hazardous some of the issues mentioned in the film are. Spurlock states that obesity has increased over the years; in fact, it has even doubled since 1980 among U.S adults (Super Size Me). He informs the audience about obesity to emphasize how worse Americans’ health has become.
In a survey of over 93,000 diners, the chain received the highest rating in the quick service restaurant component of the 2010 J.D. Power and Associates Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Study (CFA, 2011a). While significant efforts have been directed toward maximizing initial customer perception of the food and dining experience, the company has yet to develop a comprehensive system for ensuring or assessing high quality in service recovery. Problem Statement Service failures in quick service restaurants typically stem from one of two general areas: extended time delays and/or errors in accurately fulfilling food orders (Mack, Mueller, Crotts, & Broderick, 2000).

In terms of fast food restaurant life span, even twenty-five years in business can seem like an eternity. In an article published in the New York Times, it was reported that instead of advertising heavily, franchising or redesigning stores, White Castle relied on a simple menu of a square little hamburger that die-hard fans would buy by the bagful and devour in one sitting (Siler, 1988). Although the article was published in 1988, much of White Castle’s promotion has remained the same. This paper discusses a number of strategies that have contributed to the sustainability of the White Castle’s hamburger; identifies the intangible aspects such as crave times and company culture which has contributed to the company’s growth; and discusses the marketing strategies that have contributed to the product’s lengthy life cycle in the fast food business. In an article in Investor’s Business Daily, it was revealed that one of the keys to White Castle’s success has been the company’s ability to keep family in management positions.
