I cannot escape the feeling these products were invented by an American with a dim understanding of geography. The McAfrica looks like it has McAids, and entrusting a fast food restaurant with pineapple (Honolulu Chicken) is simply a Poor Decision.
However, I cannot help but feel a surge of connectivity with my fellow man. For anywhere I go in the world, if I see someone carrying a McDonalds bag, I simply know. We can look at each other and know, that yes, last night, we drank too many dogg, we have celebrated too much, too soon, and this is our punishment.
