I remember you talking about an American style diner you liked but it was a long drive. You mentioned Burger King but it wasn't the same. It sounded like American places were not common there.
Starbucks are struggling everywhere. They're closing here too. I'm not surprised to hear they're not doing well in Sweden. Too hear one extreme end of a political party Sweden is heaven. It's socialist ways don't mesh with American capitalism. To hear the other side it's Hell for the exact same reason. lol In the end American businesses suffer. Same reasons but different outlooks.

I really think I need to find a new football team. An obvious choice would be The Buccaneers. I mean they have a pirate ship in their stadium. A pirate ship. * I just can't get on the Brady bus. To be honest I can find reasons to not support most teams. We need an expansion team. Maybe if Washington picks a cool name.
*As I sit here lamenting the Falcons, their running back runs 33 yards to set up a touchdown on the next play.

I haven been to a Taco Bell in decades, but I seem to recall their Supreme Burrito (?) was pretty good...all things considered.
I’ve had American fast food in a few different countries. The differnces can be interesting. McDonalds in Germany & Russia are better in several ways to their American progenitors. Part of that is because they source their supplies locally,
Sometimes I wonder what the parent companies are thinking when they try to expand outside of the USA. The aforementioned Taco Bell has tried several times to make inroads into Mexico. I can’t imagine that EVER being a good plan. Domino‘s has opened about 30 locations in Italy.
In doing so, Domino’s has borrowed from McDonald’s playbook. Like McD’s, Domino’s has adapted their recipes to the local environment.

The thing here is that we already have a couple of Swedish chains with specialty coffee, and plenty of cafés, so the niche for Starbucks was small, and they apparently had rather expensive stores as well. When you also factor in that you already can get cheap coffee at every manned gas-station, and at lots of small places like 7-11 and similar chains (their main competitior has tons of stores), the market for Starbucks is small despite the fact that we drink lots and lots of strong coffee here. The finns drink more though per capita

No, can’t be. I only drink 1-1,5 liters per day…

I actually heard that. Finland, Denmark, Sweden Iceland are all big coffee drinkers. I can't imagine why ice cube countries would drink so much coffee. We have coffee all over being sold by a lot of different places. I prefer a coffee sold at a chain of gas stations.
No Taco Bell in decades? The horror. Going months without is unthinkable. I've seen Mexicans working in Taco Bell. I wonder if they eat it and what their opinion is. I know pizza here is different from pizza in Italy. Maybe it's a novelty enough for them.
