- There are 7-11s on nearly every corner of Melbourne's Central Business District, but they don't sell Big Gulps. Just Slurpees. How can a 7-11 not sell Big Gulps?
- A chain called Hungry Jack's is really Burger King in disguise. Except that they have both, occasionally within earshot of each other.
- Both BK and McD's have "Ozzie Burgers" with "beet root" and egg. What the heck is beet root?

It's the only thing that makes the burgers edible.
Gorgeous stuff. Just don't spill any on to a white wool
top.

Yup, beetroot on burgers. That totally freaks out Jenine every time we're in New Zealand. "Shaved carrot? Beets? On a burger? Are you people MAD?"
Have you experienced pies yet? Once you've had a good
steak pie, you can't go back.

Yeah... and McDonald's sells salads in the U.S., so America would be a crummy place for a vacation too.

If memory serves, the 7-11's in Sweden don't sell coffee!
