First Mcdonalds in Russia - General

in soviet russia, fast food really isn't that fast at all

[QUOTE=bugfix;24443248]I hate McDonalds. Burger King is much better. (The best is In-N-Out but unfortunately only in the U.S.)[/QUOTE] BURN IT WITH FUCKING FIRE. Jesus... I hate In-N-Out Burger. It's overly popular, and tastes like a greasey baked shit ball. Disgusts me that even anyone likes it. As for me... I like Jack in The Box.

I went to a McDonalds in Moscow a few years ago (It was Run by a Canadian, and I think most of the menus were in English 0-o)

Anyhow, one store symbolizing the death of an empire. And all those people waited hours so they could simply have a taste of American food/capitalism. Such is life in Moscow.

Am I the only person on the internet who thinks McDonalds food is pretty good?

[QUOTE=Populus89;24433481]Plus it probably was a symbol of America, freedom and all that back then. I mean the USSR dissolved a year later.[/QUOTE] America isn't a symbol of freedom. It's rather a symbol of sociopathic war obessed imperialism and greed.

[QUOTE=FreeThinker;24475592]America isn't a symbol of freedom. It's rather a symbol of sociopathic war obessed imperialism and greed.[/QUOTE] To the Soviets at the time it was a symbol of both- they knew America was succeeding with many freedoms for the people, and they saw their own state dying and getting worse, and of course it was always a police state- so it was a symbol of freedom and liberation compared to their own state. Imperialistic and greed, yes, but that seemed alot better than poverty, lack of freedom, and inner-party/outer-party classism and racism.

Its like they never had a fast food place in russia before.

Must be the new ride at Wonderland.

Imagine the greasy friedness of those mass prepared burgers. mmmmmmmmmm

[QUOTE=bugfix;24443248]I hate McDonalds. Burger King is much better. (The best is In-N-Out but unfortunately only in the U.S.)[/QUOTE] It's not just in the US for the record Even though I can't stand to eat fast foods often, when I do, I have to say that KFC tastes the best.

Wait till their dissapointed at the greasy shit [editline]08:18PM[/editline] Five guys however, is epic :v:

[QUOTE=john_frohman;24480520]ITT: stupid opinions So you know what greasy shit tastes like?[/QUOTE] ITP : Troll. No. I just know what crappy food tastes like. In N' Out Burger takes at the top of the list in my opinion.

[QUOTE=Paravin;24466873]You guys have no ideas about lines in the USSR. My parents and grandparents have many stories about them. Standing in lines for a sausage, since only the first 50 or so would get them.[/QUOTE] Oh i do, my grandparents lived in rural poland and had to wait 5 hours once to sell their excess grain.

Soviet people loved western stuff, that's not news

I think it's an interesting view on the Russian mentality around the end of the Cold War.

Yes

Yo dawgs y u hatin' on burgahs. Seriously, fast food may not be healthy for you but obviously it is tasty enough to spawn worldwide multi-billion dollar corperations. I don't know if it's part of your diet to claim that their food tastes like shit so you don't feel bad about not eating it but, whatever man. Opinions.

[QUOTE=FreezingStorm;24477688]Its like they never had a fast food place in russia before.[/QUOTE] That's because they never had one before.

I can't wait to eat the food those capitalist pigs eat!
