Basically all American fast food places in other countries are infinitely better than the US. Because they almost always have to deal with more stringent advertising and quality requirements and actually have to compete with real restaurants.

Hell the only real advantage in the US used to be price, but they're now the same price as a full restaurant option, and take about as long. The only reasons they still have customers are nostalgia/habit and people just assuming that because McD's prices went up so much during the pandemic-era inflation, everywhere else must have as well.

    I remember my local bar had a burger and fries basket. $6. This was prepandemic. We always joked that it was cheaper to get a burger/fries and a coke from the bar than it was from McDonald's (for a quarter pounder).
