Well, Harold and Kumar went to White Castle, or there's also Jack-In-The-box. In-n-Out is a personal favorite, but it's pretty regional, so that one's probably weaker than the other two. There's also Sonic's and Culver's in the too regional to pick. Quiznos.

What? No, I don't eat fast food too much, why do you ask?

Domino's is a possibilty. Does Starbucks count as fast food? Sbarro's, possibly. Or Nathan's Hot Dogs.

Dolores Reborn
04-26-2007, 10:08 PM
I did a google on international fast food - MOS Burger based in Japan is pretty big. Also there's the UK based Wimpy Bar and Chicken Cottage. And American based Domino's and Quizno's.

I vote for Domino's, but WE might go overseas on us... Domino's has 60 international markets - 2 in one city in Pakistan!

Frosted Glass
04-26-2007, 10:14 PM

ZipperJJ
04-26-2007, 10:32 PM
I like the reasoning for Domino's.

There aren't even any Jack-In-The-Boxes here in the midwest (ok, not in Cleveland). We have White Castle, but not even as many WC's as Arby's.

Didn't someone mention eating Sbarro's in another country in some other random thread around here? What a weird memory I have...

We need more choices, I think. Speak up, Blue!

JpnDude
04-26-2007, 10:38 PM
Domino's is big here in Japan, another is Shakey's Pizza (big in Asia).

As for other types of restaurants in Japan, we have the following but not sure if they are fast food:

El Torito
Hard Rock
Tony Roma's
Outback Steakhouse
Planet Hollywood
Red Lobster
Kua Aina Burgers

Family-type restaurants:
Denny's

But amazingly, no Taco Bells. :(

ZipperJJ
04-26-2007, 10:44 PM
Just had a thought: If Starbucks was going to be on the list, I think it'd be higher than what's already listed. So I am going to put the kibosh on Starbucks as fast food.

It is some southern thing, Greasy Fried everything, except the Biscuits which are in a fatty gravy of course.


This is an American Biscuit in this context. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Runny_hunny.jpg) (picture file)

We also enjoy the British style Biscuit of course. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Digestive_biscuits.jpg) (picture file)

If the team thinks that Jim is going to have a Canadian in the list then the only choice is Harry Crerar. If there is the possibility of a second Brit in the list then it should be Alan Brooke (or Auchinleck or Slim or Alexander...Oh gawd this is tough). There are obviously going to be more Americans but I'm totally blanking on further names. Gavin was in command of the 82nd airborne, and whoever was in command of the 101st is a possibility too. Walter Bedell Smith was Eisenhower's chief of staff.

Norway is in the top two or three countries in the world in most surveys of GNP per capita and GDP per capita.

Vote Norway.

The trip was excellent, thanks -- but I've got a million things going on at the moment, I'd rather play than run this puppy right now. Maybe in a week or two.

Brainstorm:

France (thinking French Reviera)

England (Royalty etc)

Luxemburg


Argentina- they have a very standard of living among the upper class...

No Monaco huh?

I'm back- I like Luxembourg, but will go with the majority.

According to my sources, ranked by GDP- Luxembourg is #2 after Bermuda. UAE and Norway are there as well.

I'm sorry guys, but we have way too many game threads running in MPSIMS. I'm closing some of the older ones that have, to a large degree, reached some ending point. It looks like this thread has indeed done that, especially after 25 pages (a pretty good run).
