    So what fucking anchor country does Burger King have? Like I just watched a video on the last of 3 K-Marts being shut down in the United States, but I come to find out the brand is dominating in Australia. So where does Burger King have that is not in the United States?

        You have no idea how it blows my mind there is a parking lot that has both a K-Mart in it and a Burger King. The only thing that would shatter me completely is if there was like some form of Media Play or Circuit City.

            Looks like my kind of store even if its not. Whenever I read about Australia it makes me want to visit it even more. I just want to know what its like to drive around a Ute and cause trouble.

              It's overpriced and garish. Speaking of which, have you met aus gamestop yet?

              utes are real light in the rear, good skids aye 🤙

                You have got to be kidding me. You have to understand how long ago GameStop ate EB Games in the United States. This is so surreal.

                I have always wanted to drive a Ute. I first found out about them when looking up the Subaru Baja. They just look so fun to drive around.

                  utes are great, though really need a use case conducive to an open tray tbh. Unless you get the sporty hardshell ones in which case they're just a better SUV.

                  My fave is a little kei ute called the mighty boy

      Burger King actually tried to kill off the Australian franchise a couple decades ago

      The Court of Appeal decided that Burger King could not terminate the contract, for several reasons, one of which was that it was in breach of an implied term of good faith, having taken steps to engineer the breach of the contract.
