Outrageous and Weird Fast-Food Knock-Offs from Around the World

Domino's exactly as I remember it. So, whenever there's something popular, some people have to piggyback off of it and get that extra cash. If it's video games, clothing, merchandise, or anything ever, there is a rip-off of it. Most of these are from China, but some come from Iran, Iraq, and sometimes even the UK. The fast-food knock-offs are pretty funny, so I am here to share some with you. Today, we are looking at 5 fast-food restaurants and some weird knock-offs. Why eat at McDonald's when you can eat at... Mash Donald's! My favorite!  McDonald's has it's fair share of knock-offs, Up above is Mash Donald's, a rip-off of McDonald's in Iran. Since it is the, you know, largest restaurant in the world. American fast food restaurants are banned in Iran, because America. So they have to have something to replace it, right? McDonald's knock-offs range from MaDonal, to OMcMcDnoald's, to McKebab (I am not making these up) to some that a...

Outrageous and Weird Fast Food Knock-Offs from Around the World 2

Dairy Queen? What about the Dairy Fairy? Oh boy! The sequel! If you remember, last season I made a post about this with this quote at the end: "So that's all the fast food knock-offs I could find. But there's more, oh there's more, there might be a part 2 to this." Well, there is now. Today we will be looking at MORE fast food knock offs! We'll be looking at two new restaurant's knock-offs, and three from last time. So without further ado... Why eat at McDonald's when you can eat at... Maybe that's the founder's name... Looks like we're starting with this bad boy again. McDonald's has so many knock-offs that It had to be one of the three restaurants for me to bring back for this one. Up there is Al Donald. Maybe it's not a knock-off, maybe it's just the owner's name... Eh, it still has the similar logo, so it is a knock-off! Anyway, there's more, such as As Burger, Mr Mahmoud, and even a bootleg McDon...

How Millenials Killed Dairy Milk (and how it isn't a big deal)

Well, the largest milk producer in America, Dean Foods, filed for bankruptcy after 94 years today. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is up to you and whether that's the reason they filed for bankruptcy or not is also up to you, but we can all agree that milk consumption is on the decline. Chart showing the decline of milk consumption from 2000 to 2019. (source: CNBC) Now, why is that, you may be asking? Well, again, that's up to you. Many factors are playing into it, but most are blaming it on a certain group everyone likes to mock; Nope, not the baby boomers, the millennials. Most of this has to do with the rising animal rights movement, and, yknow, in most of these big farms, especially dairy ones, they don't treat the animals that great. In fact, there's video proof that Dean Foods literally burns their cows and hit them with pipes, but whatever. Most millennials don't like this kind of stuff, and opt to buy plant based milk instead, such as almo...
