Extra Credit #2

When I first looked at this graphic i thought it did a pretty good job explaining a story. McDonalds is the power house of fast food and the size of the logo helps you realize that without even looking at the numbers. After further examining this graph i realized that there was a picture of Afghanistan. Although it might be good to compare how much McDonalds is really making, it just does not fit in with the rest of the graph. Everything else on the graph s in the food business so it is just to much information, increasing the cognitive load when the GDP of Afghanistan is thrown in.
If I were to make this graph better i would completely get rid of  the GDP of Afghanistan and maybe add something like Dunkin Donuts. since Starbuks is on the list i think it would be appropriate to add a very successful chain like Dunkin Donuts instead of the completely random GDP of Afghanistan.
