I know the food in America is generally of a horrid quality, but this is taking it too far.

BTW, you can get Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in Korea, just go to a black market, sheesh.

It's milk chocolate and peanut butter. Individually those are great. Together they make a super food. Did you know an average human adult can live for over a week on just one PB Cup? If you have one 20 minutes before sex, it promotes fertility. If you have one twenty minutes after sex, it prevents pregnancy. Amputees have reported spontaneous regeneration after eating PB Cups. Beyond the health benefits, PB Cups are used as currency in over 30 counties. They have prevented wars, and they burn so efficiently they are being considered as a fuel source for a planned mission to Mars.

That's better than any of feces based food products in the commonwealth.

The Fleetwood Diner, home of the original Hippie Hash- Hash Browns with Onions, Peppers, Broccoli, Mushrooms, and Tomatoes. I liked to get mine minus the peppers, plus spinach and gyro meat.

Affordable Pesto
Ethiopian Food
Vernor's Ginger Ale
IBC Root Beer

Soul Food
German Food

Booze deserves its own section
Ten High Whiskey

Steel Reserve
Olde English
Anti-Fris Martini's
Trader Jose's Cervezas
Pacifico Clara

Going to the "Wine Guy" at Big Ten party store and being taken on a 20 minute tasting of wines and cheeses, impeccably matched.

Indian food and Subway are both extremely common here and they're not much different than back home (I worked at a Subway and I can't even see a difference).

Subway, yeah, but Indian...Ah, my friend, believe me, there is a difference.

It goes back to the fact that Korea is generally about cutting corners.

Anyone who doesn't agree that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are the greatest food thus discovered by man is a horrible monster deserving of a slow, punishing death.
