McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) on Monday reported a 5.1 percent increase in May sales at restaurants open at least 13 months, on strong demand in Europe and Asia/Pacific.
May same-restaurant sales were up 2.8 percent in the United States, helped by new coffee drinks and snacks.
The world's largest hamburger chain is one of the restaurant industry's top performers largely because its Dollar Menu has been attracting diners amid a lengthy recession that has sent unemployment sharply higher.

Sad indicator.
Health concerns down the drain when it comes to saving a few bucks, but I can't blame anyone fro trying to save a few bucks. Its just a sad day when your economic class dictates what your diet will be.
Separation of the upper class and lower class has rarely been greater and the disappearance of the middle class has been going on for decades.
When people have to routinely get your nutrition from the human equivalent of a gerbils' food pellet you know that your social class is significantly lower than it was 10 years ago.
Could you have imagined when you were growing up that what used to be dinner with the family around a actual table for dining in a dining area dedicated for just that purpose would be replaced by uniform, processed food pellets from a major corporation in 2009?
Yummy.
But 2.8 % of us collectively decided that the dollar amount saved and gain in convenience was worth more than our health and familial bonding.
What is 2.8% of billions and billions anyway?
