One interesting element to add to this series would be to show what the most popular menu items are in each country.

[@TTM1895]

It's going to be regionally-based no matter which country, but to some degree you may find overlap.

[@contentdeleted4978]

you know the whole office eating good after these videos

[@Jackgames-vg7cw]

How would a restaurant/fast food place know though it would probably depend on the place though like a McDonald’s in the city may sell more nuggets and a McDonald’s outside the town may sell more burgers

[@putoutmyfirewithgasoline1877]

@Jackgames 2016 They would take the overall average from every restaurant. Trust that every fast food chain knows what items are their best sellers.

When I moved to the US my first cultural shock was seeing the "you've got to be kidding me" soda size

[@1985toyotacamry]

Yeah. If you go into gas stations trust me it's much bigger than that 60oz

[@Drea_A]

I ordered a large soda at the movie theatre & I had trouble carrying it with my food. It was HUGE

[@genericasianperson6405]

I've seen a one gallon size before it was ment to be shared between four people and the lid even had four holes for the straws but I definitely seen people buy that for themselves

[@kylem1112]

It get extremely hot and humid in the summer months in statew where It's most common to find drink sizes that crazy sizes . With that being said, nobody should drink 64 ounces of coca cola in one sitting, ever. drinking a 12 pack of light beer would be less harmful lol

[@D71219ONE]

As an American, I honestly don’t know how people do it. It gets so hot during the summer, that much sugar would make me sick. I only drink water and I have one cup of plain coffee in the morning. I usually drink almost two gallons of water a day.

[@trymv1578]

The 'Fakkin delicious' joke had me dying.

[@seitatsuhira]

I've never heard of a hamburger place called Wendy's before. I have been researching and found that there are 346 McDonald's restaurants, but only 24 Wendy's restaurants in Tokyo.

[@crazybeatrice4555]

Wendy's is quite similar to McDonald's, I've always liked it more then McDonald's because the burgers taste better

[@akinigiri]

Really! There used to be more Wendy's in Japan I think. Like 20 years ago. Now its combined with 1st Kitchen eh :(

[@dezraq]

I thought it was so weird that Wendy's in Japan has pasta but then I thought someone in Japan probably thinks it's super weird that American Wendy's has salads and baked potatoes.

Still never tried more US chains than McDonald's, Burger King, pizza hut and KFC but these videos make me want to try more chains. These videos show me other countries options.

[@realtalk6195]

As far as the largest chains go, Wendy's and Popeyes are my favorite.

[@chriscubingclips]

Joe that Wendy's Taco "Salad" was 100% a staple of my childhood. If dumping an entire cup of chili over some lettuce and pretending it's still healthy is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

[@embarrassedcap]

same, yo. I didn't like Wendy's but my family did, so I'd always order my Taco Salad.

[@ConnorJYT]

Whatever fast food chain you can think of they have it in America the UK and Japan. Really happy to see them do Wendy’s again and maybe do UK vs Japan maybe. Just an a idea. If Joe’s reading this, then he’ll probably be depressed to have a Food Wars series not to include him in it. Maybe he can do a cameo like Harry in the KitKat episode.

[@Samuel-nd6ht]

Both George and Joe are great hosts. Gotta give the Joe man some attention in these.

[@JoeAvella]

I agree!

[@DecayingReverie]

I love George. He reminds me of the Japanese exchange student in our high school. Quirky and funny, what we in the South (U.S.) call a bit of a goober. A funny man with a warm heart.

[@Kay-se3yv]

I like Japan's drink sizes...I've definitely noticed that ever since McDonald's mainly offered their large size (but you can definitely still order a small/medium), other restaurants have made their mediums into "larges" and their larges into monsterous proportions. When I go to Wendy's I'm always flabbergasted with my medium drink - and for me, it's the right amount with my food

[@xnonsuchx]

I’m sure it varies from region to region, but here in Seattle, Wendy’s nuggets are cheapest per nugget in the 4-piece vs the 6 and 10 piece options. So a 4-piece plus a 6-piece is actually cheaper than getting a 10-piece. Makes no sense!

[@rubiconnn]

They do it because most people are too lazy to read the menu and will just ask for a 10 piece order and don't care what it costs.

[@randomdude88856]

Imagine if Joe ordered a drink and said, "I want a drink in the size of You've gotta be kidding me, please."

[@SpeedVaultz]

"How much bacon do you want?" Wendy's: "Yes"

[@shruu6466]

Asiago Chicken Club is divine. The most unique and delicious chicken sandwich available.

With the drinks ice may need to be considered. Ice takes up space and unless melted, lowers the amount of liquid in the cup

You would think that the sausage biscuit would be dry but it's not, it's actually soft and buttery. The sausage egg and cheese biscuit is actually the dry and hard to eat of the two sandwiches. For some reason they use a different biscuit for the sausage biscuit then the rest of the biscuit sandwiches.
