I mean, it's pretty easy to dismiss this desire, but our chain foods in other countries can be quite unique. You can have a burger and a sauna in Finland at a McDonalds. A beer in Germany. Spain's version of McD's is insane. And that's just the arches. Japan has a waiting line at KFC for Christmas because it's become a tradition. I get why it would be cool to see how what we grew up with differs on the other side of the world.

Sonic should open some locations in the Netherlands. Imagine how many more people they could serve at once, if it was all bicycles pulled up into that shit.

I guess they'd have to, like, clip trays onto your handlebars. That might be precarious, but I think it's doable.

I went to a McDs in Rome and it was fookin trash. But I mean, its my fault for going to a chain in Rome...I ate at much nicer places otherwise.

The problem is eating at chain restaurants in the first place. But then again I’m not American. If you visit a foreign country and eat at chain restaurants from your home country you are the lowest of the low.
