The game's question
Split the riddle between you, one sentence each, and keep the guess for the very end.
Guess who I am. On April 15, 1955, Ray Kroc opened his first restaurant under my name, in Illinois. That first day brought in $366.12. Families pulled in, and the warm paper bags rode home on laps. In 1968, my Big Mac was on the menu all over the country, and in 1971 my TV jingle sang, “You deserve a break today.” What is my name?
- Pizza Hut
- McDonald’s
- Taco Bell
Need a hint?
In 1963, a clown began to appear in my TV commercials. Then hum a few jingles from those years together—mine may be one of them.
See the answer
Answer: McDonald’s—Ray Kroc’s first one opened on April 15, 1955, in Illinois.
Why this game : A jingle, a paper bag, a stop on the drive home: small scenes like these open up stories of family outings and long trips.
