Forget Mountain Dew, you need VENOM.
THREE GRAMS of stimulants in a bottle of still-not-as-bad-as-redbull.

Rockstar is my favourite heart palpitation drink.

It's in my Sainsbury's, I assume it's nationwide.
It just tastes like sugary lemonade though, I was well disappointed.

It is sugary lemonade.

Never mind that.

I quite want to try a Taco Bell
So much I might contemplate getting on the train to Chafford Hundred...

You'll be disappointed
I often eat in Taco Bells when I'm in the US. But I never seem to like it as much as I think I'm going to. Yet I keep going back.

You'd think I'd learn one day.

Harold and Kumar made me kind of want one.

"...just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down."

I've never been tempted by a White Castle
Jack in the Box make the best cheeseburgers on earth though. Measured by the twin factors of tastiness and saturated fat content.

Also...
I want to know why UK Chinese restaurants don't sell scallion pancakes, and why American ones don't have prawn crackers.
Come on Chinese people - get your fucking act together.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 13:45, Reply)

Likewise
Indian restaurants in the US make very odd dishes, to our UK tastes. I once ordered something spicy, a Jalfrezi or something, in New Jersey, and was asked whether I wanted it mild, medium or hot.

They did that with all the dishes, so I could have had an impotent Madras or a fiery Korma.

But US Mexican restaurants are better than their UK counterparts. I guess it's a function of the number of people of a particular culture who are resident in the country. Here we have a sizeable Indian population, so there are lots of good Indian restaurants, and the same is true of Mexicans in the USA.

The other side of the coin is that...
...'ethnic' foods are changed to suit the tastes of the locals. Most Mexicans would no sooner order food in a New York mexican food joint than an Indian would order a Tikka Masala.
Having said that I was once asked in an American Irish pub if I wanted a large pint or a small one.

There are some brilliant Mexican restaurants in London.
It's just that you live in the howling wastes of the frozen North.

Taco Bell is best consumed late and stoned.
Otherwise it is vile.

I would not want to risk getting stranded and baked in Essex.
