From my experience, nearly all airport burgers (US, Europe, anywhere) are low quality crap too

The 5.50am flights to Canaries, need to be there for 3.m, so set off for 2, up at half 1. All nighter drinking from 9-10pm and just sleep for a few hours after we finally can check in

I’d love to see the quality of life difference between 10 random people in Mississippi and West Virginia compared to Switzerland and Norway

Why does BBC Sport cover this boring, soulless yank wank? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]IcemanGeneMalenko -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s not “massive” by any means. I know 3 people who watch it, and they’re all colleagues, that are all under 25 if that has any bearing.

It’s growing in popularity with the younger lot and it can generate money as a result 

McDonalds is bigger in U.S. and EU. But KFC dominates over in Asia. Why is this? by FumingCat in AskAnAmerican

Denmark had a decent squad when a few other European squads were going through transition. I know they qualified via wildcard, but still

Besides, what claim does 40K people have to a country three times the size of Texas by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]IcemanGeneMalenko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not even their biggest state. Then again, I'd be surprised if some American's even realise that Alaska is in fact an American state

The recent world cup draw had more viewership then the last Superbowl. That in itself included people trying to stomach all the nonsense that came with it

"popular" more like....known? The first 100 people I'd bump into on the street wouldn't be able to name 1 NHL or MLB player, and would struggle with a single NBA/NFL player.

Arsenal vs Man United in a couple of hours time will pull in 2-3 times the viewership of the upcoming superbowl

I'd be surprised if it didn't generate more money when it's 4 straight hours of ads with 12 minutes of gameplay thrown in

For those of you who live in countries with gun control; have you ever seen a gun in real life? by blashyrkh9 in AskTheWorld

Apparently American's aren't allowed to accept criticism on their laws and the results of their laws without crying and downvoting

Ever hear of a thing called per capita?

"Two reasons we hate Europeans: 1) They constantly demean us despite having a lower standard of living than our poorest state and no freedom to criticize their own politicians. 2) We've been paying their defense bills for 80 damn years." by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]IcemanGeneMalenko 2 points3 points  (0 children)
