      Make burgerland, it’s been how many decades and you still think they “should recall that once in a while”?

      Earn it.

        Make Burgerland? OK

      Isn’t the UK also notorious for assuming it is the center of the world?

        We were. Because we were. But those days are very much over.

          I wouldn’t be so sure it’s just a “were” thing. You and I may have a more humble view of our homelands but I think we’ve both got to accept that there are some awfully myopic idiots residing in both of our states.

      I’m not opposed to being called burgerland, but I’m wondering why burgers and not hot dogs or apple pie. I think we should start referring to all countries by their national food.

        Only Americans thinks that apple pie is a specifically American food.

        True, as burgers didn’t actually originate in the USA anyway. Are there any foods that are 100% USA creations?

          Fried butter? (The fact that this is a real thing is worrisome)
