I'm more grateful I don't eat at Micky D's!

Only 3 McDonalds in Iceland anyway.

I was surprised when I read the article. Seems there were only 3 McDonald's in Iceland anyway and they insisted on importing all their products rather than using the local stuff.

I'm a Burger King guy and their $1 double cheeseburger is a better deal anyway as it tastes much better too.

Just a scary example of what inflation can do to your currency when a government starts printing money for bills their can't pay for.

I think I would be doing much better right now if I were selling $1 hamburgers.

I don't eat at McDonald's either. But, everytime I pick up Alana and Shawn from one of their world wide back country journey's the first place they make me go... McDonald's.

Iceland is a small country, three McDonald's was plenty I'm sure.

They have the best french fries, hands down.

The part of the article where he mentioned opening under another name & using cheaper local products made me cringe!!! Let's hope he means less expensive, and not lesser quality, because I don't think that is possible! :brandreco

Keep up with the double cheeseburgers Toto and all the money the government can print won't save you from the inflation of the pot belly.:rofl:

My favorite McD product is the little parfait with fruit and yogurt. Yum!

 

[Victoria]

By the way, as Alana is a vegetarian, she orders a meatless Big Mac with extra pickles and onions and sauce. Gross.

Tis TRUE!

Unless the PELOSI SOCIALIST UNIVERSAL GOVERNEMENT RUN Health debacle sneaks through.

Then, the FAR LEFT will outlaw or tax to the max, all the fast food restaurant chains under the guise that, it's better for our health.

Get this? Not only has Pelosi shut out the Republicans from participating in any discussion over their socialist plan, she actually CHANGED THE LOCKS to the doors of that room.

So much for the DEMS regarding BIPARTISANSHIP and TRANSPARENCY!

FRIDAY is "D" Day as she tries to SNEAK THROUGH the BIGGEST GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER in the History of our Nation!

I saw a documentary on Iceland a few years ago - they import EVERYTHING. An interesting side-effect of this is that they all speak English (from reading product labels).

The only thing they export is power - generated by some underground heat source. Oh, and of course Bjork and The Sugarcubes.

(and it's pronounced be-yerk. Truly, it is.)
