dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

To me and basically everyone in Poland McDonald's was anything but affordable since they started serving their slop here

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
