Sanders [24:13] Wendy’s Burgers and the American Culture of Fast Food [26:17] Automats and McDonald’s Business Model Deep-Fry Demand Col. Sanders of KFC wasn’t always the Colonel we love and know now. He started off selling life insurance, starting failed businesses, and only experienced success when he turned 65. Nowadays, fast food is a business venture that can bring financial benefits and success to anyone who chooses it, with chains like Wendy’s with their unique square burgers and McDonald’s with their real estate investments behind their fast food business.
