An alcoholic beverage tastes best on the Mediterranean.
Soft drinks and fast food taste like everywhere. |

| i've read an interesting article that basically described the phenomenon we're discussing in this thread. apparently asian countries, and some european to an extent (although US is focusing on changing this) aren't so hellbent to fit as much HF corn syrup into everthing that's produced and hence why the taste is different. i think the sugar levels are lower in products in Japan, than they are here. that's why soft drinks taste different. |

Cocacola in macedonia sucks compared to the US. I think they use a different sugar.
...but the mcdonald's in macedonia is AWESOME. They have kit-kat, smartie, strawberry, and blueberry mcflurrys! On top of that they sell donuts lol.
And the sandwiches... you have no idea... they are AMAZING, especially one called the McFresh. BEST MCDONALDS SANDWICH EVER.
Oh I made a stop in italy too, didn't try mcdonalds there cuz its insanely expensive in the airport but here's the menu:

| While I was in Atlanta, I got to visit the World of Coke and taste the different drinks Coca-Cola offers in different countries. Italy offers a drink called Beverly that tastes like non-alcoholic Gin and Tonic, made with stomach bile instead of Gin. |

That explains quite a lot. It's funny because, being Brazilian, unless something induces diabetes in small doses, it's not really sweet enough for me... so it really bothered me how everything there seemed to have no sugar. |

| KFC is so much better in America than in the UK it isn't even funny. So much better. It's not just the meat tastes different, the meals themselves and the sides are all radically different, and superior. |

Big conglomerates like Kraft, or Coca Cola for example have a different recipe for every country/plant, local ingredients/produce are different from one place to the other, it's only normal that the final product differs too.
BUT, the catch is that these companies also fine tune recipes to match local tastes. |
