Have you seen the japanese McDonald's ad they've recently released on twitter?
Rightoids went fucking ballistic over it, like lmao and this is even funnier!
Now, sticking to the meme. To me and basically everyone in Poland McDonald's was anything but affordable since they started serving their slop here. And yet I still see plenty of students going in fucking hordes to McDonalnd's despite the prices! And they acknowledge the fucking robbery that it is and still proceed to eat that shit. Fucking incomprehensible to me.
Yeah, that seems to be the case for a lot of non-Anglo countries, it's similar in the Balkans. We already have our own fast food traditions, so the various American franchises are more like imported luxury food (well, luxurious by fast food standards anyway), nothing like the way they're viewed in their country of origin. Although I assume there might also be some genuine differences in the product due to food regulations (I think the EU had a ban on some growth hormones that are used in American beef), plus just the practical factor of which ingredients are more easily available locally.
Yeah from what I have heard fast food places outside the US are generally much better in quality.
In Colombia they're basically the same as I ever remember seeing in the US, but prices are higher compared to local incomes so it's sort of a treat to go there
I've never understood it, there are local Colombian fast food chains that are way, way better
"They won't let McDonalds run ads showing a happy WHITE family in the West!!!!!"
Bruh, wtf that family is Japanese as fuck.
what reason exactly? Was it because "america would never put a white woman in an ad" or because "there's no way an Asian guy can have a redhead daughter"
idk some people just do this thing where they adhere to social norms for no other reason than it being a social norm
The reason being that they've presented a "traditional family unit". Fuckers got themselves to dick ride McDonald's purely because of an ad they weren't the target audience for. That was the ballistic reaction, and it made me laugh how easily you can manipulate a right wing mind to relinquish the hatred they once had towards a brand or idea if only you decide to pander to them.
It rustled their bigoted jimmies so much it got me to think how easy it is to stir their pot. They are so shallow.
One joke I've read that was pretty on point actually was: "Don't ask a white supremacist what's their preferred ethnicity for women". That made me chuckle.
I've never seen anyone justify going to McDonald's in this way, not explicitly or even in a roundabout way. Maybe because I and my friends don't really conform to social norms anyway.
The only time we went to McDonald's together is because they were hungry and had no cheaper alternative available. It's bad when it comes to food in shopping galleries here, like really bad.
