I see the chicken size post, and match you this pathetic excuse of ‘food’. US penny for scale.

    You’re right. And even if a fast food chain is national it doesn’t mean there’s one within 100 miles from you

    For example, I get ads for Sonic all the time and would need to drive for three hours (on the freeway going 70 mph) to get there

      Im Australian and whenever I travel I look for US chains in other major cities I havent tried.

      I had 5 Guys in Glasgow of all places. Carls Jnr opened a location near me which I thought was weird. Its pretty good though.

        Just to note: US chains are significantly better outside the US. I don’t eat at chains in the US anymore, they’re expensive and I’m pretty sure my shit is more nutritious. Might taste better too.

          Its actually been a long term “Lotto list” item of mine to build out a big food court type establishment and bring over franchises that arent here. Like Popeyes, Sonic, Wendys, etc

          So long as I have the only one in Australia people would make the trip and pay a premium just to try a Popeyes chicken sandwich.
