King Fancypants

I remember growing up and saying “Hey mom, what’s for dinner today?” and the answer sometimes being “meh, I’ll see if I can get something from Burger King” sure it was great the first few times, although I’ve never been much of a BK fan, but then it was more like “baww, but I want some spare ribs!”. I also remember “haha, he’s having his birthday at Burger King.” and other such phrases.

Well, things are different over here, apparently. There’s only one Burger King in town, which is pretty much the only fast food restaurant that’s from abroad, (excluding the not-so-famous “Chester Fried Chicken”, which isn’t that good anyway). Yep, no McDonalds, Wendy’s, Jackoff in a box and NO KFC either. Although there was a McDonald’s once, they closed down because of the prices and the hatred for all that is American.

Anyway, my point with all of this is that, Burger King has become somewhat of a rich luxury over here. It isn’t only for fat, poor, hungry, addicts that are in a hurry. When I first got here, I was surprised by the reaction to “I’m having my birthday at burger king” it was mostly “HOLY FUCK THAT KID IS LOADED” or “FUCK YES, I’M INVITED”. Why is this? mostly because.. shit’s expensive.

The Whopper with cheese and without vary greatly in price, apple pie is about 3 inches long and is pretty expensive too.

I could only afford to buy this crap twice last month, but I’ve got to admit it’s fucking delicious, especially when you can only get it no the rare special occasion. I see people in there celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and whatnot quite often. Which I would’ve found quite hard to imagine back in the day. Also, people here are chickenheads so I’d imagine a KFC would go rather well.
