We're now a fried chicken franchise

[Elly]

if you purchase your chicken through digital means Microsoft reserves the right to take your chicken from you if they do not like your opinions on things not chicken related...

EPISODE AMERICAN BURGERS - $20
(Not included in season pass)

I'm dropping the thinly veiled references with this one because I want to address a weird phenomenon in the UK. Fast food chains have are on a bit of a kick with naming burgers after assorted place names in the USA. I'm honestly expecting Burger King to come out with the Scottsdale Cheese Melt any smurfing day now. The New Jersey Bus Stop Special. Anyway, I hope it gives you comfort that at least one nation out there views you and your culture as glamorous and exotic. Savour that.

This is all pretty good, but this part really stuck with me. Please tell me they advertise with really exaggerated cowboys. Even better if it's obviously a British actor doing a really bad southern American accent.

American marketing has been so egregious about marketing like this that it's a really strange (and oddly satisfying) feeling to have the tables turned.

[Psychotic]

Yes indeed. Though no accents, they tend to advertise them with bland British scenes and accents being changed into over the top US stereotypes:

Aww that first link isn't available here ha, how ironic.

[Psychotic]

I changed it to a different channel so maybe it'll work now.

[Shoeberto]

I don't know how they managed to capture American life so perfectly. Every aspect of those commercials was like a glimpse into my everyday life. Thank you, McDonald's, for exporting the cultural high points of America.

USA! USA!

What would your hometown burger be like?

[Shoeberto]

My hometown has a semi-official traditional sandwich and I'm not sure you're really prepared for it.

Turns out when you're Economically Anxious, you really have to reach for cultural milestones.

(the same restaurant has both the gum wall and the sandwich)

I know this business model wasn't an original recipe for success or guaranteed to make a bucket of money, but I am tender that you didn't double down on your idea before you mashed it.

Bad news everyone, we tanked our second business in as many days! Back to the forum industry for us.

We learned many things from this venture!

Mostly to make sure you don't promise people food and then can't deliver. They might wait 10 years for a game, but for their chicken tendies... not so much.
