I tried and ranked six fish sandwiches from McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Popeyes. Every year, fast-food chains release fish sandwiches to coincide with the season of Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday. The franchisee brought the idea of selling a fish sandwich to McDonald's then-CEO Ray Kroc, who was appalled at the idea of adding a fish sandwich to his hamburger empire's lineup. For a definitive ranking, I tried all the fish sandwiches I could from McDonald's, Burger King, Popeyes, and Wendy's. AdvertisementHere's every fast-food fish sandwich ranked from worst to best.

☆ Coke and Pepsi stocks are both struggling — but one beverage giant has more to worry about than the other
  + stars: | 2023-10-28 | by ( Amelia Lucas | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Coke's overall volume rose 2% in the third quarter, while Pepsi reported flat beverage volume and a 1.5% decline in its food volume. Coke reported flat volume, while Pepsi's North American beverage unit saw volume fall 6%. "Coke has been taking share from Pepsi for many, many quarters," RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi said. McDonald's has served Coke products since Ray Kroc opened his first franchised location, and is the beverage company's largest restaurant customer. International success can offset more sluggish domestic demand, like the 6% volume decline for Pepsi's North American beverage.
