How many big companies would you expect from a country of less than 6 million?
That's about what I would expect.  A variety of mid-sized specialist corps.  Then again, the true megacorp is a pretty rare beast these days.  It's a sad, sad world we live in.

I'm just saying, wouldn't it be great to live in an arcology where you don't get killed and used for parts by some crazy AI?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Egg White McMuffins!
Are those any good?  I haven't been to breakfast at McDonald's in a while (fortunately for my cholesterol).

I've no idea. I believe the difference in calories is like 50 and I was like, mmm, why bother?

So I tried it this morning. Not really that much different from a regular one minus the egg yolk. The "cheddar" tastes basically the same as the American cheese on a regular one.  I guess then with less calories and cholesterol they are a fine substitution.

Oddly, the refer to them as Delights. I was confused when they called my order as that wasn't what I thought I'd ordered. :D

Actually wiki suggests you might call them Canadian singles or Canadian slices.

What is "American cheese"?
:hmm: That's actually a good question.  I know what it's not, but what is it exactly is something I don't know.

Well I'd also say getting snobby after a discussion of McDonald's is a little...out of place to say the least. ;)

I don't think a bottle of easy cheese marked cheddar is what most people refer to when they say American cheese. :mellow:

When it comes to American cheese, it's not really snobbishness in play.  It's just a disdain for a truly horrible food-like product.  If you walk on the street and come across a dog turd, it's not really snobbish to avoid it instead of taking a bite out of it.

Its not about snobbery.  I just have no idea what you are talking about when you say "American cheese".  Since you used the term I would have expected that you would know what it meant.
