this is crazy I'm a normie that's only half true while not as famous as McDonald's or other fast
food restaurants Jollibee has slowly started to spring up all over North America here are
the top 15 untold truths of Jollibee the untold story of Thor versus Indiana Jones
Jollibee originated in the Philippines yeah in the Philippines the Philippines is a country
sometimes overshadowed by the more prominent parts of Asia however the country is famous
for introducing the world to Jollibee in 1978 entrepreneur and future billionaire
Tony tan cocktion opened the first Jollibee soon after cactian acquired Greenwich Pizza
Corp giving Jollibee the ability to also sell Italian Staples such as pasta and
pizza and the business started expanding with a rapid expansion of the chain all over the
world Jollibee may be the country's most famous export well maybe second only to Manny Pacquiao
the second thing started as an ice cream stand that's how it all started occasionally
a franchise will undergo changes as it evolves McDonald's started as a simple burger stand the
franchise would eventually offer the menu we're all familiar with today and the restaurant itself
barely resembles the original California burger stand in the case of Jollibee the chain started
out as an ice cream stand founder Tony tan cactone first opened two ice cream parlors
the ice cream parlors were an instant hit due to the larger than usual scoops of ice cream and
excellent customer service after learning that the customers were interested in more than just ice
cream he introduced hamburgers to the menu in 1978 despite threats from Burger giants like McDonald's
this would lead to what we would come to know as Jollibee it wouldn't take long for the menu to
include spaghetti and the popular Fried Chicken that have become the chains staple menu items
that's simple more popular than McDonald's in the Philippines most popular place in town
McDonald's in the Philippines is a lot like the McDonald's franchises found pretty much anywhere
those instantly recognizable golden arches or unchanged regardless of what part of the world
a franchise happens to be in and the food while slightly different in some cases due to cultural
differences is always delicious unfortunately for the Mega Burger chain the people of the
Philippines are more interested in banana ketchup spaghetti than they are in Big Macs yes it turns
out that Jollibee is far more popular than the biggest burger chain of them all at least in its
country of origin in fact the fast food franchise does so much better than McDonald's in the
Philippines that the economist once called it a huge embarrassment to McDonald's due to the sheer
dominance Jollibee has over the golden arches two major reasons Jollibee topples McDonald's in the
Filipino market are food that caters to the taste of the locals and strategic marketing campaigns
that promote Filipino values in your face in whose face now the Jollibee mascot represents Filipinos
you represent us all I know mascots and brand logos are pretty much a given for a fast food
chain where would McDonald's be without the golden arches and Ronald McDonald or Wendy's without well
Wendy as the face of the franchise however some mascots mean more than simply being the flagship
image of a brand as is the case with jollibee's Jolly B mascot the Jollibee mascot is more than
just a Jolly Bee and the face of the franchise it also happens to represent an entire nation
Filipinos have a reputation as being some of the happiest or jolliest people in the world they also
have a reputation for being hard-working much like these so the Jollibee mascot is a tribute
to the country and its people it is a tribute to this great country the chain is famous for its
fried chicken fried chicken fry chicken used to be the exclusive domain of KFC but eventually other
chains specializing in fried chicken began to spring up popular brands like Popeyes Chick-fil-A
and Church's Chicken have not only managed to make their Mark in the world of fried chicken but in
some cases are even out selling KFC a relative newcomer to the Fried Chicken game Jollibee is
quickly becoming known for this popular dish in fact chicken Joy which is the name of the Jollibee
Fried Chicken is one of the Chain's most popular items and is often paired with a side of spaghetti
much like the Colonel's 11 secret herbs and spices jollibee's chicken marinade is a trade secret and
there's a spicy option for those wishing to turn up the heat I love spicy stuff too guy probably
more than you do first time here well what are you waiting for take a quick second to hit that
subscribe button thanks so much the Yum Burger is their signature Burger a signature's a signature
when you think of the big fast food chains most most of them have a signature menu item
McDonald's has the Big Mac and Burger King has the Whopper Jollibee is no stranger to the signature
menu item along with offering a wide variety of diverse options the fast food chain also offers
its signature Burger the Yum Burger while the name is to the point albeit lacking in creativity the
Yum Burger came about during the early days when the franchise was still new to serving anything
other than ice cream cactone realized that more people were ordering Burgers than ice cream and
thus created the signature Burger now serving burgers burgers earthworm hamburger rumors
there have been some wild rumors over the years involving fast food chains and their
ingredients and Jollibee is no exception one of the most infamous fast food rumors
revolved around traditional burger meat being replaced with earthworms and while this rumor
had been around for a while it eventually attacked attached itself to Jollibee in 2003 an email went
viral stating that the Filipino chain was using earthworms instead of beef for their patties to
cut down on food costs but the viral email didn't stop there the email also stated that the founder
of Jollibee Tony tan was an entomologist which is a person who studies worms and insects this of
course was proven to be nothing more than a rumor and insects and nightcrawlers all over the world
rejoiced those rumors are just that Jollibee spaghetti is a little different like a little
different hell yeah he's better Italian food is undoubtedly one of the most popular foods all over
the world in fact you'd be hard-pressed to find a country that doesn't have a restaurant devoted to
that delicious savory pie we all know and love pizza besides pizza pasta is another Italian
fan favorite and many fast food franchises have tried to add the famous pasta dish to their menu
with varying results the most famous fast food spaghetti blender would have to be McDonald's who
once offered up a mcversion of the classic pasta dish mixed spaghetti failed just about everywhere
except the Philippines and this would Inspire fast food giant Jollibee to add their own spaghetti
dish to their menu albeit with a Filipino twist jollibee's spaghetti sauce is radically different
from traditional marinara sauce as it contains something called banana ketchup which is a sauce
made from banana vinegar sugar and red dye and if that's not different enough they also
serve the pasta with slices of hot dog Best of Both Worlds comic book appearance you like
comic books do mostly to the incredibly popular films and cinematic universes both comic Giants
Marvel and DC have experienced a boom period not seen since the early 90s with popularity comes
the occasional mainstream acknowledgment and acceptance this can come in many forms such as
popular brands making appearances within the pages of iconic superhero books this was the
case in 1993 when Jollibee made an appearance in The Flash in Issue Number 77 artist Greg laroque
inserted a Jollibee restaurant in the cityscape background on a splash page featuring The Speedy
superhero however the comic book appearances of the fast food chain don't end there in 2012
a comic made exclusively for the fast food chain featuring Marvel's Avengers called Avengers Menace
of the mole man number one was released with the plot scene Moman attack the Philippines the story
concludes with a Jollibee branch manager becoming an honorary Avenger you know you've made it when
the Spider-Man controversy a famous controversy so not all of jollibee's comic book related
Adventures have been positive experiences much like McDonald's Jollibee offers toys with some
meals often movie tie-ins for a promotional crossover got about the crossover in 2012 the
company released a ring toss Spider-Man toy with the purchase of a chicken Joy bucket to coincide
with the Amazing Spider-Man film unfortunately controversy ensued due to the Toy's design critics
of the toy design argued that the position of spidey's web makes it look like it was coming out
of or being inserted into his well let's just say posterior not a good look for Marvel's Flagship
character and definitely not a great look for the fast food chain responsible for giving away
the questionable superhero toy with great power comes great responsibility Jollibee Food Corp
is much more than Jollibee you're much more than that there's a lot more to Jollibee than just the
popular fast food chain to be specific jollibee's parent company Jollibee Food Corp has not only
acquired various other fast food chains such as Greenwich pizza and Chow King Chinese restaurants
but they also acquired bakery chain red ribbon and the barbecue chicken restaurant mang inasal
internationally the company also has control over foreign divisions of Burger King Duncan
Pho 24 and Hard Rock Cafe the corporation has also dipped its toes in other businesses besides
fast food finding success in the world of real estate in the Philippines as well why because
why stop at fast food when there's so much more money to be made the corporation continues to
expand generating millions of dollars with every acquisition and business venture with the kind
of gross the chain is experiencing it won't be too much of a surprise to one day see a Jollibee
right next door to your local McDonald's or KFC awesome you'll soon be seeing more of Jollibee
you'll see soon enough like any good franchise growth is inevitable and Jollibee is no
exception with the Acquisitions of several food corporations Jollibee has managed to broaden its
reach across the Philippines and around Asia but the franchise's expansion isn't exclusive to Asia
in fact the fast food franchise has gone from its original small ice cream shop Beginnings to 1500
locations in 17 different countries Jollibee has experienced a massive expansion in a relatively
short period of time and more locations are starting to pop up in North America currently
there are 27 Jollibee locations in Canada and 66 locations in the U.S with more likely on the
way Jollibee also has plans to expand further in Europe with an estimated 50 more locations
we gotta expand the Jollibee breakfast is a bit different a bit different a bit weird fast food
chains have been serving up breakfast almost from the beginning and many early bird commuters are
extremely grateful fixing a nice breakfast before having to hit the road is simply not an option for
countless people today so making a quick stop at the closest drive through has been a busy morning
Lifesaver fast food breakfast continues to be a hit all over the world not only does Jollibee
offer its own breakfast option the breakfast Joy menu but its version is also quite a bit different
from what most folks in this part of the world are used to sure you'll notice breakfast Staples
such as eggs and bacon on the menu however the classics are featured on top of seasoned
rice as is the case with their fried eggs you'll also find distinctly Filipino menu items on the
breakfast Joy menu such as tapa which is a type of beef tender tocino and longanisa which are sweet
pork and pork sausage respectively unfortunately one of the chains best sellers jollibee's version
of the breakfast sandwich bacon egg and cheese place between two pancakes is not available in
North American locations however the chain does offer standard breakfast sandwiches both in this
part of the world and at their Asian locations the first denture's death is upon us the peach mango
pie is a must try we've got a peach pie most of the big fast food restaurants have a collection
of tasty sweets that make up their dessert menus after all there's no better way to finish a meal
than with a Great Dessert McDonald's fruit pies are undoubtedly the most famous of the fast food
desserts the burger chain has been offering the piping hot Sweet Treats in a variety of flavors
for more than 50 years however Jollibee offers its own version of the flaky hot pie and it's
definitely a must try the Jollibee peach mango pie is very similar to the hot pies served up at
McD's but the only difference being that Jollibee still deep fries their pies while McDonald's does
not is it hell's conscious to deep fry the desserts not at all but if you're concerned
with health you probably shouldn't be eating at a fast food restaurant to begin with for those folks
who miss the deep fried fruit pie experience you might want to visit the closest Jollibee
