So what can you tell me about the founders or CEOs of McDonalds?

Seriously? How about the McDonalds, and Ray Kroc? Never heard of those names?

I never heard of Ray Kroc. I just asked around and not one person knew who the CEO of McDonalds is. (Ronald does not count I guess)

You're overestimating how famous this guy is.

I'd expect Ray Kroc to be at the level of a Jeopardy question. I wouldn't expect RMS to be a question. Michael Keaton is playing Ray Kroc in a film that will be released in two months.

FWIW, as a single data point, I've never heard of Ray Kroc and didn't know that McDonalds was a name (although I would guess so if asked).

Was there ever a point in time when the founders / CEOs of McDonald's became cultural icons / household names?
