Where you from?

Nigeria - where only KFC has managed to come to our shores.

I mean, you are lucky and not at the same time. The only thing I like from MCD is their potato fries. Never been to KFC tho.

Shit, I missed the first page.

A blessed country, if it hasn't been infected by American fast food companies.

Spoke too soon.

That's our next-door neighbour Niger you're looking for.

He's the scammer?

And a goshdarn prince to boot!

Wait, I thought tomato sauce is the same as ketchup?
MCD's potato fries here are usually accompanied with tomato and hot sauce.

Hot Tomato Sauce though...That's weird.

Many people here love spicy foods

Sambal, by any chance?

The best fast food is Five Guys. Only been there a couple of times. They're only in big towns and cities over here and I'm faintly sceptical of whether tall buildings are the devil's work so opportunities are limited. I don't think I've tasted anything as good as their burgers or milkshakes from anywhere, let alone another fast food place.

What country, if I may ask?

American fast food is not a horror show. It's fast, it's tasty, you can get a variety of items these days. People seem to enjoy it all around the world. I wouldn't eat at a fast food joint every single day but I do partake when I can. I have to ask, though, it is because it's American or because it's fast? I assume you don't have any objection to food.

We have nothing against someone because of nationality or ethnicity, no worries. ^^

With that said... I have to admit that I nearly fell trap to a "Nigerian woman". I was young and naive, and she was asking me if I could help her out and that she needs funds for education and loans. It's obvious that she was asking for a wire transfer or something.

I didn't do the transfer because I have no debit card or anything then, I was a 14 year old! But I told her, I can help donate my old textbooks to her. "She" said sure!

... I have yet to hear from her.

Yes, sambal. Some people get too far to even eat cabe rawit.

Exactly.

Yeah. The trick is to get there right as they take the fries out of the fryer.

I think it's a stereotype coming from some of the worst or poorly-ran branches. The food quality can change depending on location too, as with Singapore even for the same franchise.

It's just like that sometimes.

Personally, I think it'd be more of the former: "look, it's something! From America."
Imported stuff, and especially Western stuff, is extremely popular here.

Then again, we only got a Krispy Kreme branch last year.

Hurde is sustained only by the screaming anguish of those who he has enticed to look into the void.

So can the methods as well, come to think of it.

Five Guys is reasonably common in my part of the United States, and I must say that of the fast food chains, it is among the best, if not the best.

The case in many places not Europe/Canada/the States/Australia/NZ I guess. My sister used to beg my mom to buy an......imported Swiss orange marmalade, although we already have local ones at home.

I still didn't get first post.

So uh guys.

I speak more Ancient Chinese than I do my native ethnic language-Spanish.

...

Am I going to not be able to appeal to Latinos?

The only language you need to speak is American.

Also, hello! How's the campaign?

[Xuloqoia]

The only language you need to speak is American.

Yeah but I need to appeal to Latinos for my 2022 run.

What office are you running for?

[-Astoria]

Why do you have so many scammers though?

Seriously, it worries me.

And what's with the Prince angle they use?

Well, lemme put it this way:

poverty + want for money
Now add internet access (via a cybercafe).
poverty + want for money + internet access = greed
greed = desire to scam

Though we're not the only bastion of scammers - have a look at Ghana, for a start.
I really dunno why they use the prince angle [despite that title now being purely ceremonial, as tribal royal families are more or less just figureheads].

I beat you to it.
