…does nobody in America eat at McDonalds? Just curious, it’s the biggest fast food chain in the UK and many other countries. xD
Vincent
alot of americans eat at McD’s… but we avoid mentioning it, as we’re all ashamed of it.
Deanatay
We’re familiar with it… just, it’s got a bit of a bad rep here, after the whole Michael Moore thing. Most Americans don’t like to admit they eat there. But they do.
Yet_One_More_Idiot
Ahhh, that explains the “secret shame”ness of McDonalds in the US. Whereas over here, nobody gives a shit about Michael Moore and so we continue to eat more McD’s than any other fast food. Then again, the only other burger fast food we have is Burger King, so… (there are other types of fast food too, like many pizza firms and fried chicken companies – and Subway – but only McDonalds and Burger King really do teh burger)
Well. that and labor laws are vastly different in the UK and a lotta the shit McD’s gets away with in the US either can’t happen or is immaterial in the UK, specifically health insurance for workers. You guys have NHS, we have employer-paid health insurance, except a lot of places (not just McD’s) just don’t bother to provide insurance for most of the people actually making the stuff that makes them money.

Doners or currywurst or fish and chips are your fast food! What the hell is wrong with you!
Yet_One_More_Idiot
We have lots of traditionally English foods – the ones you mentioned, also steak and kidney pies, toad in the hole, Yorkshire puddings, pease pottage, etc etc…
But when it comes to fast food companies, the biggest selling one in the UK is McDonalds (and has been since I think about the 70s). Don’t forget, most kebab shops and fish and chip shops are independently owned, not national companies. 🙂

You have no Wendy’s locations? I feel for you. I can’t imagine living somewhere that does not have Wendy’s as an option. Especially if the only other choices are Burger King or McDonald’s. BK is okay, but not great, and McDonald’s isn’t even an option. The last time I ate anything from there was over half my life ago. IIRC, I was 19.
AgentKeen
Apparently, Subway has more locations in the US, but McDonald’s makes more money.
Because I never liked the secret sauce in McD’s burgers, I only rarely go to McDonalds except maybe for a breakfast meal when going on trips or if I feel like a cone.
Right. Pepsi is more than OK. Pepsi is mandatory. Coke is an abomination against all that is holy.

You wash your mouth out young lady….with Coca Cola!
Ironically, I often see people asking in restaurants for a Pepsi and being told “we only serve Coca Cola here”, ‘cos it’s the more commonly stocked drink. ;D

I don’t know what balance of laughing & trying to help I would have. Alright, that’s a lie, I’d roll over laughing. Daniel the Human would probably help, but I recon he’d burst out laughing once the meatsack isn’t gonna bleed to death…

Becky: “Well, just you remember Matthew 6:24, though!”
Joyce: “You can TOO serve God AND Arby’s!”
(idk that may have sounded better in my head)

Put something special in you this weekend, America: some Arbys, some cocaine, scotch, random schlongs. It doesn’t matter. Nothing matters.

I thought you said lemurs, and I was wondering where she kept them.

Horsey or not?

She said Arby’s Sauce!

IKR? It’s like asking if Pepsi is okay!

Pepsi will never be okay.

But Arby’s serves Pepsi products.

Which means Mountain Dew.
Why would anyone drink cola?

Also, Ruth is going to object, right up until she undresses you.

She’s going to continue to object. She likes objection sex.

Its sad to see Billie objectified in this manner.

Wait, is Nihilist Arbys a thing?

Officially, nothing to do with arby’s. Unofficially, everything is nothing.

Two packets of Mcdonalds honey mustard! Double or nothing!

I see your honey mustard, and raise you three packets of soy sauce from Panda Express.

I see your Panda Express soy sauce, and raise you 4 packets of KFC margarine.

Did you ever read the ingredients of a packet of KFC “Honey Sauce”? It’s mostly corn syrup, with sugar, and a little honey flavoring.

Draw the blinds. shut out the sun. Cry. The pile of meat has been on the table for weeks. Just eat it & go back to bed. Arbys: edible.

I’ve honest considered getting a twitter on a few occasions just to follow nihilist arby’s
Jen Aside
You could just bookmark it? Or not, it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. Not even Arby’s.

and now you see why I never followed through

Oh god, there’s hover text? Do I have to start from the beginning now?
Solenoid
Yes. Or no. It doesn’t matter.
Lord Stoneheart
Hover text first started appearing sometime in February 2013 I believe. In that scene where Billie tells Daisy about how Ruth kissed her.
Amazistool
Damn-You-Willis however added hover text to one former strip retroactively.
I could link to it, but that would somehow spoil the fun!

Yes. The beginning of Roomies.
