Okay. I hope you guys have my favorite candies overseas which are Reese's peanut butter cups, Little Debbie and Pop Tarts.
The good thing is I somehow just can't gain weight but I also don't eat too much junk food and somewhat keep the balance.
It often frustrates me that we only have McDonald's, Burger King, Subway and KFC here. I always wanted to try stuff like Taco Bell, Wendys, Jack in the Box and In n out Burger.
I prolly spent my whole childhood at McDonald's (we ate there at least 4 times a week) and I always wished we had other chains. But that was the closest I could get to an American environment as a kid.
Check out The South -- the coastal area along the Gulf of Mexico. Everyone is obese. Food is great and cheap. Wonderful cross pollination of Mexican, French, Cajun, Vietnamese, English, German, Czech food going on down there. Best of all worlds!
Pop tarts are part of a balanced breakfast. 😉
I suppose if you were to hold one in each hand...? 🤡
That's no way to think like an American! We demand shelf stable "food" whose flavor can best be described by its color (such as red). 😉
No way. Pop tarts are defined by whether they are "warm" or "cold".
That's very classy of you to warm them.
Not always, hence balanced:-)
