At one time, admittedly, I had a negative attitude about our 'International' United States firms expanding out into all of the other countries on the Planet Earth to which they are able. I felt it was pure greed on their part.
Well, I suppose that, in the final analysis, it is pure greed or opportunism isn't it?
Did the CEO of McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Baskin Robbins, Burger King, Papa Johns say to themselves :
"I want all of the United States citizens who travel the world to feel-at-home wherever they travel because WE, McDonalds, KFC, Subway, Baskin Robbins, Burger King, Papa Johns will be there just for them!" Sometimes I, yours truly, hunger for a meal with McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Baskin Robbins, Burger King, Papa Johns.
And so it was today! I was pleased and I enjoyed my visit to my local Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Parlor.
Arriving above and leaving below.
Indeed! The time has come to have my Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Sundae.
"Dad! Oh Dad? You forgot to show us Dad!"
I arrived in the daylight. I left in the dark of a cold Krasnoyarsk night.
One last goodnight .. One last How Sweet It was.
The Happy Holidays are now about officially over.

I was surprised to see so many words in English inside of Baskin Robbins, but guess I should not have been ... it is, afterall, an American birthed business. Looks familiar! Happy that you got to have a sweet treat to wrap up your stay in Krasnoyarsk. And now, what lies ahead??? Shadow??? Answer me!! Smiles, love, Patti
ReplyDeleteI wonder .. Does The Shadow really know? Smiling. Oh yes it was a nice visit and it sure scratched an itch for me. The fast food chains want us to feel just like we are home when we visit these old favorites. Thanks for your suggested changes to this post. Much Love My Dear One .. Cap
DeleteMy eternal hope is that people around the world who have eaten at McDonalds will someday have the opportunity to sample a really, really good hamburger.
ReplyDeleteYou are too too amusing to think that those who eat at McDonald's and the ilk do not, or have not, eaten at the gourmet hamburger places as well. Would Tommy's or the Arctic Road Runner both in Anchorage qualify for you? Smiling .. Cap
