Unfortunately, that's America...

Wouldn't the "for 30p" part make in the UK somewhere?

Darn, I was hoping for a picture of a cat with bacon taped to it...

That is not a face I needed to see first thing Christmas morning. Yikes!

Duffbert, it is not in America, but Scott, this is America. ;-)

True... I missed the "p" after the 30. But Volker's right... It's 100% American.

You guys are all wrong, this is Bracknell, UK. In fact, this is mom waiting for her 14yr old daughter bringing back the fries for her baby. First solids at three months!

I am kiddin ya.

Sascha, how right that could be, I tell you... ;o)

abgesehen davon, dass die ironie des fotos finde ich zu deiner bemerkung wiederrum bemerkenswert, dass die marge bei diesen zusätzlichen dingen wie "bacon" oder "xxl" immer die größte ist. ich tendiere dazu da immer nein zu sagen, denn sonst fühle ich mich über den tisch gezogen. vielleicht gibt es ja eine korrelation, dass diese upselling sachen auch die ungesündesten sind?!

Yeah, I'll buy that. Unfortunately it is a very American scene.

An odd bit of trivia...

I live a little east of the Manassas battlefields of the American civil war. The fighting wasn't confined to where the battlefield park is, and there was a lot of fighting going on all over the region.

When they started building the Burger King bearby, they discovered a civil war cemetary that wasn't previously known about. It was promptly relocated, and we have a nice shiny two story BK now. Sigh.

The UK government are predicting that by 2010 30% of the UK adult population will be obese.

And we are the country with the fattest people in the European Union.

England and America might well be two countries divided by a common language, but we are sadly united by our obesity.

There's even speculation that the health problems caused by obesity could 'bankrupt' the UK health system.
