Indeed. My parents moved there in 1989. The size of the average Aussie increased in direct correlation to the proliferation of KFC's and McD's. American exceptionalism at work!

Not just true, but common. I mean, you can rent them at Disneyland and watch them cruise in packs before going straight to the front of the line. SMDH.
