Then they're sure to love White Spot burgers with Triple O Sauce:

Triple-O's by White Spot" restaurants, named after the trademark "Triple-O" hamburger sauce (made of mayonnaise and hamburger relish), have been established in BC (as seen above, some are co-located with Chevron gas stations).

For "Triple-O" sauce, it has been reported that, as the condiments used in the restaurants came in large containers, the excess dill pickle juice was swirled in the depleted mayonnaise jars, this mixture was then put into the depleted ketchup containers, then adding relish from the depleted relish containers, to which was added the juice and residue from the slicing of tomatoes, adding the resultant mixture to a commercial Thousand Island dressing.

According to a plaque on the wall at the Surrey (Guildford) restaurant, "Legend has it that the name Triple-O was part of the shorthand language of the carhops: guests could choose from mayonnaise and relish, and the order slips were printed with three X's and three O's. An X meant hold, an O meant extra, and Triple "O" meant plenty of everything."

And in case the Triple O ambience is what you crave:

Good diner style takeout burgers in MYHOMO.

That Dutch spoof was really well done. What a great sendup of food homophilia. It reminds me of super hoppy beer hopheads. Is it a bit of a setup or are people really that gullible? I can smell a McDonald's burger from 4 feet. It's sort of a vinegary cleaning fluid smell. But extra pickles and an extra dash of catsup almost masks it.

You are talking about people who have been exposed to Dutch cuisine their whole life. They are unlikely to be able to distinguish the subtleties of different tastes, so to say.

Same test in the UK or the US would probably yield the same result. Not sure about culinarily more advanced nations like France and Belgium...

[kurogane]

Aaaah, my bad. I just remembered why I ate Ethnic the whole week I was in Leiden. With Dutch beer, of course.........but yeah, fair enough. The part I really like is the way they can sucker people in just by placing that suggestion in their head. Confirmation bias is what we used to call that, I thinks. At any rate, really well done, good teasing fun, thanks for that link.

Teacher arrested for putting tooth filling in convenience store lunch

An elementary school teacher in Hyuga, Miyazaki Prefecture, has been arrested after it was discovered that he had lied to a newspaper reporter regarding the presence of a foreign substance in a rice ball (“onigiri”) lunch that he purchased at a convenience store.

According to police, on Feb 25, Akira Kuroki, 46, told a national newspaper that an “onigiri” he purchased at a convenience store contained a tooth filling, TBS reported.

It was later discovered that it had in fact been Kuroki’s own filling and that his statement had been falsified, seriously damaging the store’s reputation.

Police arrested Kuroki for harmfully disrupting the operations of a business.

I just wonder what motivated the guy...

Police arrested Kuroki for harmfully disrupting the operations of a business.

That's not a scary law at all...

Probably not even a law...no evidence or charges required to arrest someone here and detain them for 3 weeks while they try to dig for dirt or extort cash to drop the claim against them.

Oh it is a law all right.

McDonald’s Japan Closing Stores After Forecasting Wider Loss

McDonald’s Corp.’s Japan business forecast wider losses this year, announcing store closures and job cuts after sales suffered from food scandals.

McDonald’s Holdings Co. (Japan) would probably lose 38 billion yen ($318 million) this year, compared with a 21.8 billion yen loss in 2014, the company said Thursday in a Tokyo Stock Exchange statement. Sales were expected to drop 10 percent to 200 billion yen, it said.

The fast-food chain plans to close 131 stores this year, a cost of 4 billion yen, and to refurbish 2,000 others over the next few years, it said. About 100 jobs would be lost and the company’s president, Sarah Casanova, pledged to take a 20 percent pay cut for the next six months with other directors getting salary cuts of as much as 15 percent.

[Coligny]

I'm always ammused when I read stuff like this...

"The sales are down"
"Lets close some shops so we can sale even less"
"Ehmmmmm"

It's like Volkswagen planning to kill the Beetle because they don't sell enough... By the VAG group standards that is...
Or Renault stopping the Wind minicoupe because of "poor sales"... Small sales maybe... But no stock either, it's just that they were selling what they were making and not making enough... But needed an excuse to kill a project madby the guy who left the company in frustration and went to work for Peugeot.

[Coligny]

Ok, now time for my normal reaction:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I M GOING TO STARVE TO DEATH !!!!

VAG group

He said, "vag."

[Doctor Stop]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I M GOING TO STARVE TO DEATH !!!!

Think of the poor kitties.

They can feed on my corpse...

[Doctor Stop]

Any sauce with that?

[Samurai_Jerk]

Any sauce with that?

Of course. He's French.

[Coligny]

Bechamel I think. Or some chicken broth to cover the chemical taste...

McDonald's Japan hit by another food scandal

McDonald's in Japan said on Friday it was investigating an incident involving a customer who was injured by plastic shards found inside a drink, the latest in a string of food contamination scandals.

The company said it temporarily closed the outlet in Osaka this week, and sent a notice to 95 other restaurants that offer the kind of green tea latte frappe sold to the woman, who said she sustained injuries to her mouth.

Dozens of pieces of plastic were found inside the beverage, a company spokesman told AFP, adding that a plastic instrument used to make the drink may have been the source.

So what happens by way of compensation when this sort of thing happens in Japan? Deep regret, a bow, and a box of cakes?
If someone "sustained injuries" due to something like this in the U.S. I'm pretty sure there would either be a handsome payout or a lawsuit that would eventually result ion a hefty payout.

Even in the US it really depends on how bad the injuries were. It could be a small cut on the inside or her mouth or a shredded throat that requires a trip to the emergency room. I'm sure if it was the latter we'd have heard about it. The famous McDonald's hot coffee case that everybody likes to use as an example of excessive rewards in US civil suits wasn't as crazy as it seemed. The coffee caused third degree burns and there had been hundreds of complaints before that but nothing had been done about it.
