#52I like how it makes the burgers look more "laid back", like some cool sunglasses-wearing skater/surfer dude leaning back, or a pin-up model whose pose invites you in. Standing up straight is for the man and that's not how I want my burgers to be.

#55I just want to note how fast this page is. 806kB transferred. 766ms to finished. I hit the DFW AWS CloudFront pop from here. Similar page for BK https://www.burgerking.co.jp/menu 31MB transferred. 6.5s to finished. Hits the DEN pop (but it's a "miss"). I am in Colorado. uBlock is on. Even if you don't count the 7.5MB of fonts on the BK page, that's wild.
they gotta make sure you learn about those burgers as fast as possible.

It’s worrying, or perhaps just sad, that 766ms for an initial page load is considered especially noteworthy. Six thousand milliseconds is just awful.

#60Why are Japanese burgers significantly cheaper than the ones in the US? A Big Mac is 500 yen, that's like $3. https://www.mcdonalds.co.jp/en/products/1210/ Big Macs haven't been that cheap since 2008 in the US.
If you've been to Japan any time recently you'd probably know that just about everything is cheaper in Japan, especially food and drink. I've been twice, most recently back in October, and I'm blown away by how relatively affordable things are. USD goes a long long way in Japan. Oddly I could not find any cheaply priced Japanese Whiskey, and I looked around quite a bit. It was all about as much or more than what I co…
Japan's salaries are much lower than those in the US. Even adjusted to PPP, the median salary in Japan is still significantly lower that in the US. Few would be able to afford food at US price levels.
