Which restaurant will establish a monopoly to serve us all our food?

Prompted by a disagreement in another thread.

Ministry of Food.

How is this even up for debate?

Taco Bell wins the fast food wars.

When I was a kid, I dreamed that McDonald's would eliminate all competition.  To help them achieve this most noble goal, I refused to go to other hamburger fast food places.  KFC, Burger King etc are humanity's worst enemy.

What's the difference between Dunkin Donuts and Dunkin Donuts (Boston Option)

[alfred russel]

I left out KFC, which is a serious contender.

I think the problem with this poll is that some of the restaurants like Taco Bell don't have much of a presence in many countries.  I have never seen one or heard of it in Hong Kong or China.

Oops. Maybe we can just pretend the first Dunkin Donuts is KFC.

I remember watching a Stallone movie.  He was frozen in time, and when he wakes up after a couple of decades or whatever, the only restaurant in the world is Pizza Hut. 

It is the wrong restaurant, but I liked the concept.

Pizza Hut is not canon.

It's already false choice: McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King are their own things, but you're missing the quiet megacorps that own several of the entries in the poll: Inspire Brands and Yum! Brands- Inspire is probably the real king- it owns Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Jimmy John's, Dunkin', and Baskin-Robbins along with a couple others, and Yum! is the company that owns KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and WingStreet, again along with a couple others (Yum! used to be a bigger player that also owned Long John Silver's and A&W, but it spun those off about 10 years ago).

Wasn't it Taco Bell in that movie?

I am sure it was Pizza Hut.  At least it was Pizza Hut in the version I saw.

In the version of Demolition Man released in the United States, Taco Bell is the only restaurant that remains in the year 2032. Spartan is invited to a Taco Bell dinner by city leader Doctor Raymond Cocteau (played by Nigel Hawthorne), as thanks for saving him from Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), the criminal Spartan was awoken from cryogenic sleep to apprehend.

...

Taco Bell is an integral part of Demolition Man's legacy in the U.S., but in European markets, it was replaced by Pizza Hut. Both companies were owned by PepsiCo at the time. Conventional wisdom holds that Pizza Hut became the Franchise Wars winner in Europe because it had a greater international presence.

References to Pizza Hut were added to Demolition Man in post-production. That includes everything from logos to actual dialogue from Stallone and Bullock dubbed in during their drive to dinner. Clips of the "Pizza Hut Cut", in all its awkward glory, can be found on YouTube.

In Hong Kong, everybody knows Pizza Hut.  Whereas probably only those who have lived in North America would be aware of Taco Bell.
