    Why do your principal cultural exports taste better abroad - McDonalds and Coca-Cola are both renowned for tasting muich better outside the US.

    .

    Also, when are you going to share Chik'n'Fil with us?

    • fucking lol, I just made up a 'Tenneesee Fried Chicken-a-like'Nairn
    • Huh, apparently they tried, and failed in Reading. https://www.chick-fi…Nairn
    • ^ that's hilarious. As for Coke, it can be explained here: https://www.huffpost…garbage
    • I don't really drink soda, but when I do it's a Mexican Coke, because it is made with cane sugar.garbage
    • And we're keeping our CFA, god damn it.garbage
    • Can't answer this one as I don't consume any of that garbage and I sure as shit wouldn't consume it abroad if I had a limited amount of meals while im theretoemaas
    • Coca-Cola is the dark nectar nipple-excreta of your society's capitalist gods. I've joyously supped upon those teats since I was a kid and loved every secondNairn
    • McDs and, I imagine, CF too are both absolutely shit, but hey, the point stands.Nairn
    • Here in the UK we have a 'sugar tax' on drinks, so all my favourite treats now contain artificial sweeteners. Coke is the only indulgence I can now affordNairn
    • Puritism sucks.Nairn
    • *Puritanism, twat.Nairn
    • Oh, Nairn. You've contracted yurimonitis / deathboyitis, too :(Continuity
    • Because instead of unhealthy but within the scope of not too shittiness sugar, my once-beloved treats are tainted with artificial sweeteners?Nairn
    • You have no idea how deeply it pains me that I'll likely never drink Irn-Bru again.Nairn
    • Irn-Bru. Gone
      7Up. Gone.
      Dandelion & Burdock. Gone.
      Orange Fanta. Gone.

    • No, because of your spelling mistakes!Continuity
    • I've never tried Irn-Bru, so I've no clue what I'm missing.Continuity
    • in bygone days i'd've happily sent you a can or four. no more. no more.Nairn
    • Also, Aperol Spritz is a fair enough stand-in for Irn-Bru, imho.

    • I'd fucking kill for an old sodastream bag of sugar-based irn-bru concentrate to use in a mutant italoscottish aperol spritz cross-over. fnnngh.Nairn
    • Oh. Aperol Spritz. Rather fond of those, I am, as long as they're well-made.Continuity
    • Our government subsidizes the growth of corn here. It’s coca cola’s fault for wanting to save a buckscarabin
