    They have authentic American food all over the world.

    It’s called McDonalds and its authenticity highly processed and commercialised. Even prepared by children to give it that true American experience.

      MERKA BAAAHD

      I literally emigrated because it’s so bad and I don’t talk like this. If you want to talk shit on America I’m right there with you, but if you’re going to pretend our food sucks you’re not invited to the cookup.

          If you’ve got a college degree you can pretty easily teach English in Japan for peanuts (though still more than the minimum wage offered in 20 US states).

          Honestly just born a dual citizen, hardest part has been keeping my US job and calling in to west coast businesses in my evenings.

          As for the destination, just the UK. Been here three years now, and still just barely getting used to it. I didn’t fit in in America either so I might as well not fit in somewhere better.

        America is a big place. There’s some good food, but a lot of the food people eat does suck. The entire midwest or god forbid you live in one of those highway stops where your only options are fast food chains or a fast-casual chain.

        McDonalds, Starbucks, and Dominoes exist because people buy that shit.

      Listen to this stupid clown talk.

      not for this guy. You want authentic American food? Leave your house at 8pm, Google “restaurant”, find a small diner.

      Go in, order breakfast, two eggs, sausage patties, a southern biscuit, gravy, and get a pancake while you’re there.

      You’ll leave feeling like someone hugged you and everything will be ok, and all you wanted to do was eat breakfast.

      Are you crying?

      Hug it out, man. Come here. It’s ok.
