I don't understand how salsa is so expensive at the store, but they give to you free at Mexican restaurants. :(

In the city, you often get the opportunity to pay for it. :D

Tomatoes belong in the salad, not in your burger.

Well maybe not in your burger.  But assuming good taste, it a basic ingredient of a burger.
Lettuce and tomatoes confuse the taste of the burger.  It's supposed to be a meat dish, you won't make amends for it by adding a slice of tomato on top of the patty.

:wacko:

A Burger is a sandwich.  A sandwich typically contains meat, a vegetable, and maybe cheese.

The store kind is better.

They build it into the price of the rest of the food :secret:

You like the taste of preservatives?

I like the chunks of peppers and tomatoes. Salsa that's just sauce is boring.

Well, I thought I'd better take this test given my result in the "British" test.

Unfortunately, the website is refusing to tell me how much I scored... :unsure:

Ah gotcha. I dislike chunks and happy that it is rarer to have them at a restaurant. :D

The McD's question was really a reference to an old ad campaign jingle, not to the sandwich per se.  I don't think I've ever eaten a Big Mac, but knew that answer.

I got 83%.  Missed BitUSA because I thought the question was about the album (didn't read closely enough), Free as a Bird (never listened to that song), Red Sox, and mayo.

I don't think that test measures much, nor was it intended to, but it was fun.

Fucking Mayo.  Ruined my perfect score. <_<  "You answered 22 of 23 questions correctly for a total score of 96%.   90 percent or higher? You bleed red, white, and blue. Fourth of July might just be your favorite holiday."  I find that kind of amusing, as I would move to Canada if I could. :lol:

87%  I missed the condiment question, Free Bird, and the original Rat Pack leader.  Only ashamed at missing the last one.  In retrospect I went for the "too obvious to be correct" answer.

What a ridiculous quiz. "American-ness" isn't defined by pop culture knowledge.
