    Everything wrong with this:

    • “Breakfast Pizza”
    • Pepsi for breakfast
    • “Medium” 64 oz drink
    • $4 for not a lot of value
  • Breakfast pizza is hella good. Or at least, the kind I make myself is.

    I use Pilsbury crescent rolls dough for the crust, country gravy for the sauce, cheese, scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage and bacon. 🤤

      I saved this recipe. I love the idea of croissant crust and so many breakfast pizzas forget the gravy!

      Sounds like quiche, but the vegetables are replaced with gravy. I might have to try that once the snow starts falling!

    The hardest part to wrap your European head around would be four servings of sugary soda for breakfast, but how many people do you know that drink cups and cups of builders tea that is more sugar and milk than tea?

    Neither side is right, humans can just be gross dopamine chasers in different ways. Compare the ‘pizza’ to a sausage roll, or whatever buttery monstrosity the French enjoy.

    No offence intended but it´s old news to the world that a lot of Americans consume horrible trash food and drinks every day until they become morbidly obese and worse. It´s in fact one of the most commonly known stereotypes about the USA. So there is really nothing on the picture a euro mind could not comprehend, more like the contrary.

        Idk, maybe that most of the western food supply is owned by a select few conglomerates that have an interest in getting you to buy a ton of product and make it as addictive as possible? That’s my guess.

        They eat beans on toast for breakfast. They have no say in this matter.

      Obesity rates in Europe are catching up. Especially in Britain. California is leaner than most of Europe. It’s definitely not all skinny in Europe and all fatties in USA. It’s regional.

        “Catching up” in the same sense that a baby is “catching up” to Usain Bolt when it learns to walk.

        Yes, thanks to americanisation and food imports from the US

            Oh I don´t but most people are too unconscious about what they eat to protect themselves from the food industry, as you might know.

          Lol this has to be the silliest take I’ve seen.

          “The Americans made us fat!” Like there’s an American sitting behind you with a riot stick, tapping their hand with it menacingly…“eat this shitty food you imported and no one forced you to buy, or else I’ll whack you in the head!”

            Are seriously calling the idea that introducing dozens of american fast food chains into a society, will increase average body weight and unhealthy eating habits a silly take? Please elaborate how that is a silly take.

              It’s silly because it has been widely known how terrible the food is for you. Just because a bunch of rich assholes dangle fast food in front of y’all doesn’t mean you have to eat it. No one is force feeding you, so stop blaming Joe Schmoe from Arkansas because y’all don’t have the self control to consciously eat healthy. If anything, it just proves the opposite of the lazy American stereotype: everyone is lazy given the option to be.

                You seem to assume that everyone is always making exclusively conscious decisions about everything. I think you severely overestimate the ability of people to make conscious decisions. Are you not aware that companies have been systematically lying to consumers for decades? That they are using psychology based advertising, to manipulate consumers into buying things that are bad for them? I certainly don´t believe everyone is that smart and conscious about what they are doing all the time.

      Behold, the Euroslave, uncomprehending of what real freedom looks like.

      I bet they would object to all the unnecessary preservatives that enhance the flavor, too.

      /S

      I had to add the /s because there are clearly people that don’t understand humorous statements around here. Six of them at the moment.

      There are still some things to unwind here. Breakfast pizza, dirt cheap “meal”, advertising “mega” for what appears to be a normal sized slice.

          This appears to be a Casey’s gas station. Caseys is known for having pretty decent pizza and being in every tiny town dotted across America (plus being open very late/early if not 24 hours). By memory the pizza is priced at $3-4 per slice. Sure you can buy a $3 frozen Jacks pizza but it won’t be as good.

          It’s worth remembering that fountain sodas cost next to nothing for businesses. It’s just flavoring syrup, water and a big bottle of CO2 to carbonate the water packaged up in a semi-automated self-serve machine

    The only pizza for breakfast I would accept is a cold leftover one after a night of heavy drinking.

    Casey’s pizza is actually really good. Their breakfast pizza is awesome, but I when I actually get it I’ll order a whole large and share it with the fam for dinner. Bacon or sausage would be the two options in the warmer. They are out of Ankeny IA I believe, but are in small towns all over the Midwest.

    Best response I ever read about this situation was:

    Americans eat as if they have access to public health.
