in my opinion, mcdonalds is better then burger king.

From mcdonalds wide variety of burgers to their very friendly staff and environment. I feel that mcdonalds is a more positive and convenient fast food restaurant to dine in. mcdonalds provide table service where food is brought to your table and burger king does not provide that service. With even just buying a small fry, you can opt for table service which is convenient if your busy with work.

mcdoanlds also sells ice cream which is perfect for people with a sweet tooth, mcdonalds keep their prices low having saver meals and deals you can redeem through their mcdoanlds app. burger kings prices are high and the burgers are small compared to the desire amount a customer would want to receive.

Burger king has slow service with thick fries which is often cold while mcdoanlds provides hot fries serve in a span of a few hours and thrown away if it is cold.

Overall, mcdoanlds is definitely a place you should choose over burger king.

E- Research from Good Food and The water cooler company shows that sodas contain a lot of sugar that damages your teeth and regularly drinking sugary fizzy drinks has been linked to various health problems from tooth decay and weight gain to an increased risk of chronic diseases including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. However, with water as the solution, it deletes the idea of health concerns.

E- This makes drinking more water have a smaller impact on the teeth to reduce the cavities and balance the sugar levels in the body. Just give it a thought. Imagine your teeth rapidly being picked on and soon destroyed by the temptation of drinking these devilish soft drinks.

Shorts is more comfortable in Singapore hot and humid weather. This is because shorts allow our legs to be exposed, allowing more air circulation to keep us cool rather than long pants which could make us sweat easily in them ,making it very uncomfortable for it to be in and the sweat can also easily soil the pants. By wearing shorts rather than long pants, it reduce sweat and discomfort as less fabric means less trapped heat and moisture. A study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences found that clothing ventilation significantly affects thermoregulation. Clothing that allows more air circulation helps sweat evaporate faster, reducing body temperature, making people more comfortable. Reasearch on sportswear has also indicate that wearing shorts experience lower skin temperatures than those in long pants, as their legs dissipate heat faster through sweat evaporation and convection. Therefore, wearing shorts is a more effective way to stay cool and comfortable, as it promotes better airflow and heat release compared to long pants.

P: Shoes are a better choice of footwear compared to slippers.

E: As shoes keep your feet warm and protect your feet from any injuries, like hitting your toe against a sharp surface, by keeping your foot fully covered.

P:I do believe that Mcdonald's is a better option compared to Burger king.

E: Mcdonald's overall is more affordable than Burger King, as its prices are rather lower for a simple set meal, combined with some deals and vouchers redeemable in their own app, whilst Burger King are rather more expensive and does not have such deals redeemable. Following this, Mcdonald's reputation is also more well known compared to Burger King, as Mcdonald's is known internationally, in almost every country in the world, but burger king is not as accessible. This gives Mcdonald's a sense of trust, that they have better hygiene standards and is better off than Burger king.

E: For example, Mcdonald's have an option in the menu, called the McSaver Meal, where it provides a set meal of certain burgers from a price range of $5-$6. However, Burger King does not have such options in the menu and only consists of normal meals, which can get up to prices of $12.

L: Hence, I do believe that Mcdonald's is better than Burger King due to its affordability and reputation.

TikTok:

P: TikTok's algorithm is known for its ability to quickly push content to a wide audience, making it a great platform for entertainment

E: TikTok's algorithm analyzes user behavior to understand what content they enjoy and then displays videos on their "For You" page that it believes they will find interesting. Such as user engagement's, Likes, comments, shares, follows, and watch time,

E: For example, if you often watch the Simpsons, the tiktok algorithm will give you more Simpsons video on your FYP. The same if you constanly like, comment or follow accounts that post these types of video.

This may result in quality short-form content being less likely to be recommended.
