ok just cause i joined late...

¢ÀAmerican Chocolate is good, I'm sorry but it is.  I normally eat choco/peanut butter mixes though, butterfinger and reeses kic kall ass.

¢ÀAmericans are good at mostly everything, although not one is good at everything, we have at least one who is the best at something.

¢ÀChina is going to start a war with the us, russia joins china, europe joins america, world ends, grats.

China has over 200,000,000 people doing well. This should be disconcerting, except for the fact that they have 900,000,000 living in poverty. They will need to deal with that, and soon, or they will have a very major civil war on their hands. Their wealth and success is very illusional!

Paradise, Americans are experts on making love! Nuff said.

Also, our chocolate is generally milk chocolate. Different taste, different texture. We can, and are, starting to make good chocolates! Kinda like Starbucks when they started out. Hidden away and hard to find, but a delight when you do.

Most of the chocolate you can buy here in an airport or 7-11 is crap however.

Having rich people and poor people doesn't sound very communist.

What surnames are associated with America other than the surnames of Presidents?

In terms of product lines:

McDonalds, Smuckers. Lysol, even. Wal-Mart.

There's actually no intuitive reason to assume the name Ghirardelli is American, just as there is no intuitive reason to assume Lamborghini or Ferrero (or Ferrari) is American.

Thus Ghirardelli doesn't sound American.

Ferro is a Cholote factory in Italia, buyed by Nestle i belive...

Well, by that reasoning there is no intuitive reason to assume that any surname is American other than those that have lent themselves to famous companies or famous people (take Lopez for example, I'm sure many many people would associate the surname Lopez with America because of J-Lo).

Actually, because of the woman golfer, Nancy Lopez, but I digress.

Now, as to American Products: (excuse the spelling)

Chef Boy-r-dee
Aunt Jamiama
La Craperie
Pizzarina Uno's (and Due's)
Giabaldi's
Bennigan's
Stroh's
Anhauser Bush
Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips
Beefeater's Gin
Skol Vodka
Schmernoff's
LaChoy
Rice-a-roni
Emeril's
Wolfgang Puck
Chanel
Das Wienerschnitzel

And the list could go on, an nauseum.

Just having the word "Ahmadinejad" and "Kiss" in the same name of a candy is enough to repulse me. Would you want an Ahmadinejadien Kiss on your lips? I think not. :rolleyes:

If it was chocolate, and preferably dark chocolate.

It wouldn't be the first time a product with a repulsive name is good.

Because China isn't really communist. They just like to pretend they are. ^_^

I can just imagine what that poor man was thinking when Ahmadinejad made his approach...

"... Does anybody smell cheap cologne and poorly cooked Beryooni...?"

Is there something that the Americans do good? :lol:

Burger King... ;) :lol:

NO!

Burger King. The American company I respect the most.
Bacon Double Cheeseburger. One of the best fast food products ever (second only to things like the XL Bacon Double and the Bacon Tripple Cheeseburger).

100% beef pressure cooked under a flame grill.
American Processed Cheese-like product.
Bacon.
A bun that isn't stale but lightly toasted instead.

Kicks the crap out of anything else on the market. Big Mac? No thanks.

It's so simple that even weirdos who don't like ketchup, mayo, tomatoes or what have you can order one and enjoy it.
So rich in taste that those of us who do enjoy a complicated burger can enjoy it.

Minimal mess.

Burger King's greatest triumph. One of the most popular burgers in Europe.

You go to the states... and the BDC doesn't exist. In it's place you have some kind of weird "Stacker" burger in a stale bun and covered in a sauce that I could swear has been scraped out of a young homosexual's mouth after a night downing mixed drinks and renting.

America can not to Burger King right. Major props for unleashing Burger King on the rest of the world - I salute you for giving us quality product that tastes good (unlike McDonalds). But now you've given this gift to the UK, GTFO and stop trying to ruin something as simple as beef and bacon.

Moving on...

Yeah "connections". :rolleyes:

The Bacon Double Cheeseburger is the only Burger from any fast food restaurant that I actually eat. Otherwise it's chicken for me.

No, CE, it's chicken for me, remember?? :lol: :lol:

BK double bacon cheeseburger does too exist in America. It is one of only two types of fast food burgers I will eat. It may not show on all the menus, but they will make it for you, I promise.

The only other fast-food burger I will eat (and I did today) is White Castles, because they are just soooooooo tasty! NE, you would hate them, and I guarentee you have never had them because they only exist North or the Mason-Dixon line. The South has a knock-off, called Crystals, but they just aren't greasy, oniony, fatty, steamy enough! I am in heaven with 8 Sliders (slang for White Castles) with cheese and mustard (and I hate this "yellow" mustard they have in Michigan, I love the "brown" mustard they have in Chicago). Or better yet, a thirty pack for the weekend, breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Frozen White Castle sliders are sold in stores everywhere, but White Castle restaurants are limited to the Midwest. Which is why "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" is a confusing film to much of the country.

Not stores. Actual franchises. Not saying they're on every block like a BK or Taco Bell would be, but they are there.
