This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In Europe, the portions are European sized. In the US, they are whale-sized.

In Europe you pay 20€ for a semi decent micro Burger some Hipster slaps together, wearing black Nitrile Gloves thinking his shitty minimalistic "Burger-~~Shop~~Artisery" will become the next big joint.

I think both cultures have their issues when it comes to food. Europeans are just more pretentious about it.

I don't know where you live, but either you live in an expensive city, only eat burgers at hipster places, or are memeing. I can still find perfectly good burgers for 12€ in my city and they fill me up. It's not necessary to get stuffed and roll back home like a US landwhale.

Where do you live? I'm in The Netherlands and I don't think a burger/fries combo can be had under €17 at any restaurant in the country, with the exception of American fast food chains (which are kinda trash). I think restaurants in this country are very expensive compared to the average in Europe.
