If any one of our restaurants were better than the rest, then customers would 
flocck to that location, creating a mass imbalance that could create a black 
hole, which would swallow the Earth. That's why we make every McDonald's from 
Pomona to Poughkeepsie the same good place to eat, thereby saving the 
Universe.-from McDonald's commercial ,28 January 1990
