1. McDonalds Arches
No, there is no parabola shape on the arc. The legs are parallel lines connecting to the arch which is an half-circle.
simple arch shape, like dc has round domes, cirlcles. simple shape, really.
Yes, the Arch Cards only have money on them once activated at a McDonalds register.
Becuase a parabola is an arch shape so that is why the 'golden arches' are parabolas.

A form of arch defined by a moving point which remains equidistant from a fixed point inside the arch and a moving point along a line. This shape when inverted into an arch structure results in a form which allows equal vertical loading along its length. A parabola is the graph of a quadratic equation. Mathworld has some nice drawings. Need a link? You got it. A Parabola is the set of all points that are equidistant from a point and a line. The line is called the directrix and the point is called the focus. Each point on the parabola is as far from the directrix as it is from the focus. It is the same shape of a curve you will find in the reflector of a flashlight bulb, or in the arc of a baseball when it is thrown or hit.
One is the "Gateway To The West" arch in St. Louis, Missouri. It is also possible McDonalds Restaurants have a double inverted catenary arch shape. It resembles a letter M in script form.

An architectural Parabola is a building that is made in a U shape when looking at the blue prints it is a u shape over the base line plans. One of the most well-known Parabolas is the Sydney Opera house is Australia with arch and dome shape of the building.
The St. Louis Arch is in the shape of a hyperbolic cosine function It is often thought that it is in the shape of a parabola, which would have a quadratic function of y = a(x-h)^2 + k, where the vertex is h, k.
