Trying to Avoid McDonalds, Starbucks, Pizza Hut and & Similar Crap

Trying to Avoid McDonalds, Starbucks, Pizza Hut and & Similar Crap

I have nothing against America in general, they are probably the fifth best country in the world behind Scotland, England, North Korea and Iran! I even have some American friends, but they have dared to  venture out of America and  visit other countries!

I have however developed a huge dislike of a certain element of America that brings me out in a state of nausea every time I pass bye them and that is second rate American fast food outlets and coffee shops.

I really fucking hate places like McDonalds, Starbucks, Burger King and Pizza Hut, which all originated in the good old USA. The worst thing is that they seem to be all over the dam place in London. You could make a better tasting and healthier burger or pizza at home, but nowadays people are lazy and it is too complicated a process for some to make their own meals.

I know we have our own fast food outlets and coffee shops that originated in the UK, such as Coffee Republic but they are just as annoying and unoriginal as the shit from America.

I had my first McDonalds yesterday for about 7 years. I thought in the aid of research I would try one out. I looked at the delicious looking picture of a Big Mac and thought lets go for it, I will have one of those. McDonalds is fast food, right? If it wasn’t bad enough that the international student serving behind the counter could barely speak or understand English, but the burger took an eternity to arrive.

Well we all know that the pictures in McDonalds of their food are even more airbrushed than those recent ones we have all seen of Ricky Gervais looking thin, when in reality he is a little bit on the plump side. If only McDonalds could get their burgers to resemble the pictures a wee bit, that would be something.

I will give credit where its due, the burger bun didn’t look too bad, I just wish I never looked at the contents that were inside it. Measly thin, burgers that my Staffie, which normally eats anything whether it is alive or dead, wasn’t even interested in eating it. At least the Mcflurry Ice cream tasted good and the dam bitch and I mean my Staffie, was licking her chops like crazy when she seen that one.

As far as Pizza Hut are concerned , when I was a struggling student, I worked their as a delivery driver and vowed never to eat there garbage again. You just have to look at the cheapest of the cheap ingredients that goes onto there pizzas, it put me off for life.

Why cant these huge fucking fast food chains just reduce their profits a wee bit and start using better quality ingredients. I know  why because  it  is all about making profits and more profits, that’s the name of the game for them.

I know most Americans think that everything to do with the USA is the best in the world. But that is only because most of them don’t even know what a passport is for, let alone having one. So they have never been anywhere to compare their own country too.

I will tell you Americans something, you would win a first prize for inventing the worst fast food chains in the world. I wont even go into your piss like lagers such as Budweiser, Coors and Miller. I’m not anti America, before the CIA send a snatch squad to get me and take me to some secret torture centre because I dared to voice an opinion against them!

One thing I truly loved about living in Barbados, was that you couldn’t find one fucking McDonalds (they once had one but it went out of business), Burger King, Pizza Hut, or Starbucks on the island. A true paradise. They did open a T.G.I. Friday’s when I was there. But from what I heard they have wasted mulit millions of dollars on something that is slowly going out of business. I want to go to places like the Caribbean for the ambiance of the place, the local food and drink, not crap pieces of American, give me a fucking break.

I don’t understand all you people that go on holiday or go to live in another country and have to hunt out the same crappy fast food outlets and coffee shops that you get back home  like they are fucking gold dust. Sometime the world is a truly fucked up place!

I use to think it was the water in London that was the reason that so many people having  bad skin, but all the junk food that people are putting down their throats has also probably got something to do with it as well

From now on I’m going to totally avoid places like McDonalds, Burger King and Starbucks. I refuse to step inside the doorway of such places ever again. If I’m starving and in the need of cheap and crap food, I will find a Chinese Buffet!

  1. Fuck you. London is the New Jersey of Europe. Get over yourself.

  2. Another dumb Yank that needs to get a fucking life. Why don’t you put on one of those ridiculous fanny packs that you Americans cant travel without and get yourself a passport. I know I have confused you with the word passport. Well let me educate you, dummy. It lets you travel to other counties, do you get it now.

    London was a melting point of culture, education and cool, when you guys in America were still playing cowboys and Indians!

    Rich get back to flipping burgers in McDonalds. When you finally master that properly in about 5 years time, they may let you start serving people.

  3. I like starbucks, even if I don’t drink coffee myself. But McDonalds and all the others are indeed a waste of time. We have these in my city too, but the best burgers are the ones I make, not to mention the pizza :D

  4. I’m an American who is in total agreement with the author. The U.S. spent billions and billions of dollars fighting communism, just so McDonalds could be on the Old Arbat in Moscow- I can’t think of anything sadder than that. The U.S. will destroy the world, slowly, but surely.

  5. The worst thing is that the British aren’t much better, we are at times just puppets of the American Government. We unfortunately will lend a willing had in helping to destroy the world.

  6. Great post I am definitly bookmarking this. Check out Tony Sacco’s Coal Oven Pizza Thanks for the resource. fort myers pizza is the best.
