Australia, where Burger Kings are called Hungry Jacks, a loaded hamburger has an egg on it (yuck), and no Dairy Queens, no Timmies, but we do have Crispy Cremes and Starbucks now.
As for A&W, the first two A&Ws opened in Sydney at Westfield Shoppingtown‘s Miranda Fair 3 yrs ago, and within 10 months they were shut down. It just did not catch on here, as did the US Long Beach Hot Dogs too.
However you can find a McDonalds on every corner. As I am posted in early 05, the nearest McRottons, is 19km away!
They say you can judge the economy of a country by the price of a Big Mac, and here they are $3.45, and no added taxes to pay either. So, whats the price of a Big Mac in your area?
As for Pizzahut, etc, they too are here, but a large pizza runs you only $7.95. When I was in Canada in 2000, I paid over $20.00 for one, and then they were only $5.95 here.
Just a few shocking Australian junk food facts for ya‘s.
