G'day! I'm keeping this blog during my time in Australia as a way to remember my experiences here and keep in touch with family and friends back in the USA. Thanks for reading!

Tastes of America
Walking to the train station last week, I noticed the local McDonalds covered in posters advertising their "Tastes of America" promotion. It's sort of strange seeing what they consider to be quintessentially American; also, isn't McDonalds American enough as it is? Anyways the offerings range from a New York burger with some kind of mustard/mayo blend (you know, like all the New Yorkers eat) to jalapeno poppers which don't even seem to contain cream cheese, to waffle cones. That one is legit I guess, since it made me come to the startling realization that I haven't encountered a waffle cone in the last year and a half. It's kind of fun seeing American culture through the filter of what a marketing team thinks Australian consumers would like.
