Tired of ordering Big Mac's abroad and finding that they've regionalized the taste of your main staple? Prefer the difference? You need a McDonalds X set up in country Y and vice versa. For a small premium of course...

A friend came back from a world tour and this was one of the first things he commented on upon his return, nothing of famous museums, different religions, poverty etc... just the difference in a Canadian Big Mac vs one assembled in Hong Kong. |

Besides Georgia, there are infinite places one can get fried chicken. |

The first time I had a McDonalds in America I was violently sick so an English McDonalds would be welcome if I was desperate. However in America the homegrown cuisine can be so broad. How could people pass on such delicacies as Twinkies, Peanut Better and Jelly Sandwiches, Tex-Mex and Dunk'n Donuts? |

Obligatory <stop eating McDonalds> post. |

PeterSealy: Come to Edinburgh, Scotland, we have 2 pie shops, called PieMaker, that sell freshly baked pies to eat in or take away. I think they come with savoury or sweet fillings. |

Restaurant relativity. For any particular McDonalds the rest of the McDonalds in the Universe may be defined in terms of that particular one. Therefore any Big Mac imported into one frame of reference is exported from another and vice versa. Thus we cannot define a Universal Big Mac, for every Big Mac is relative. Furthermore, their mass increases with motion, especially if one is a passenger in a car on a winding road, up to a limiting bound U at which point they become infinitely regurgitatable. |

Which explains why people just keep going back for more. A friend of mine once said, "I eat McDonalds once every six months to remind me how shit it is." |

Aristo, lay off the Dunk'n Donuts. I went there with my dad every Saturday morning after swimming between 1981 and 1983 when we lived in Detroit. I have cherished memories of really thick hot chocolate and sugar-coated donuts. 'Donut' remains to this day the only American spelling up with which I shall put. |

If you like the foreign version of McDonalds, imagine how much you might like real food from that country. |

Damn good idea. You get my croissant. Now if I could only get my FRIED apple pies from my local McDonald's...sigh. They still make 'em that way in Communist China...perhaps to get their population down, yes, but what a way to go... |

po: I think you will find that "quarter-pounder with cheese" is called a cheese-burger in England. |
|

lewisgirl: I recognise Dunk'n Donuts as important part of American culture, prehaps as fundemental to us as the Spud-U-Like chain. |

The title of this set me thinking - if MacDonalds are imported someone elsewhere must be exporting them. Then I had my brainwave 'Can we please export some of ours?'. Before you ask, no, no other versions need be imported to replace them. If we have to take something back, maybe from somewhere with the metric system? |

SoCal's got In-and-Out. Consequently, there's no reason to leave. |

I been all over the world (mexico, canada, hawaii, hong kong, sihgapore, thailand, abu dobi, jabel ali, bali, and australia). And i have had MCDonalds in almost everyone of those countries. I tel you I would have rather had an American Big Mac than a sinngapore imitation (large mac). So, yeah, I'm down with import Mickey Dee's |

Give me White Castles over McDonalds any day. |

When I mistakenly went to Japan, I ate a huge amount of McDonald's. The main reason being that my Japanese was limited to pointing at a laminated picture of a cheese burger, holding up four fingers and looking helpless. The secondary reason being that I don't much like Japanese food... Anyway the only difference between UK McDonald's and Japanese McDonald's is that Japanese McDonalds have clean toilets. The food is identical: shit. |
|
| |
how can you mistakenly go to Japan? did you get on the wrong bus? |
|
| |
Whenever someone mentions SoCal I think that they're refering to the hotrod tuning/making shop that originated from the same geographical area being talked about |
