McDonald’s is one of the biggest companies in the entire world, and you never have to walk too far before you’re greeted with another one of their restaurants.
While you might have to walk a bit further to find one with a working ice cream machine, they’re seemingly always there ready and waiting with your next burger and fries, no matter the situation.
Somehow, though, this has even extended to areas without any electricity, leaving many users on social media stunned at how one particular restaurant is able to open and remain functional.
The video details: “There’s not even electricity yet. They’re running the damn place on a generator. That’s crazy.”
Some users in the comments are convinced of a wider conspiracy, however, alluding to the potential future plans of the surrounding area:
“Then you know what’s coming, they wouldn’t put it there for nothing,” says one user, while another user argues: “Guarantee you that’s phase one for a truck stop, prob gonna be a Love’s there, and future highway.”
Many others have commented on the idealized production of this particular franchise though, asking if the restaurant is “farm to table,” and theorizing about the ‘freshness’ of the produce – although it’s highly unlikely that the surrounding farm will be the source of this location’s ingredients.
On the flip side, however, many have pointed out the shadiness of the original poster’s information, as they have perhaps neglected to include what lies behind the camera.
“Why didn’t you film the other wise of the street where there is plenty of house [laughing emoji], it’s not in the middle of nowhere,” points out one user.
Going to the location on Google Maps it’s easy to see that across the road from the McDonalds is a massive housing estate, which likely has complete power coverage.

The original poster claims that: “It’s surrounded by acres of nothing on 3 sides… remarkably desolate,” but this is perhaps a subversion of the truth.
While it is definitely factual that the restaurant is running on a generator at the moment, and fears that this is just phase one of a future transformation could very well be true, it’s not quite the magical McDonald’s that we all hoped it might be after all.
Archaeologists have previously uncovered miracles in Egyptian tombs, but have also suffered grave ‘curses’ from exploring others, yet there’s something so alluring about the unknown – especially when it comes with the promise of treasure.
While many of the Earth’s most intriguing discoveries have occurred naturally like this ‘Lost City’ in the ocean, many others were created by ancient dynasties and rulers who relished in boasting their wealth.
Such is the case with the Shree Padmanabhaswamy Temple located in Kerala, India, which supposedly holds a treasure world over $1 trillion, but it’s locked behind a door that most refuse to even open.

Initially created in dedication to Lord Vishnu, the temple is said to hold the wealth an treasures collected during the reign of the Travancore king, as reported by the News Minute, which is said to be worth a vast sum of money.
Five of the temple’s six vaults have since been opened following a 2011 Supreme Court ruling that sought transparency over the running of the building, but the sixth – known as ‘Vault B’ – remains closed to this day due to rather spooky circumstances.
Vault B is allegedly guarded by supernatural powers, including a horrifying-sounding group of giant cobras. Not something you’d want to run into in the middle of the night!
Besides the supernatural, you’ll also have to get past metal detectors, security cameras, and more than 200 armed guards, all of which are certainly a threat you can’t deny.

Forbes unveiled Auditor General Vinod Rai’s claims that Vault B had indeed been opened at least seven times since 1990 with no disastrous results, so the notion that it’s all a superstition is definitely held by some.
There is allegedly a secret tunnel that architects used to lock the chamber doors from within, and pairing this with the report that up to 769 Gold Pots and Silver bars have been reported missing, it’s easy to wonder whether some have been sneaking in and out with some treasures.
It’ll likely still be a while until we know the true contents of Vault B though, as the Supreme Court are expected to strike down the request to open it up, leaving us all to remain puzzled over what really lies inside the chamber.
You’d think that people would be rushing to open something with that much treasure inside, but the fear of the unknown – and giant cobras, I guess – can often be too much for many.
