Makku wins.. im a busy man i dont have the time to say the extra syllable

i thought about this a bit harder and it made me think of when i was working with an american guy and we were laughing at him trying to sound australian with his american accent.. he reffered to "talking Aussie" as "being lazy" because we shorten most words .. apparently.. i cant tell the differance tho

....the only thing japanese about:
Ai wan'na suupa saizu mai Oadaa Onegai Shimasu!
is 'onegai shimasu'
and the whole thing is composed in romaji >.>'''
if you read it outloud...it should loosely resemble something like
"I wanna super size my order O-neguy shimas"

Obviously you've never had the ebi-burger or the mega-mac!

I'm pretty biased towards kansai, so I say マクド!

They have KFC and Pizza Hut in Japan too, and a couple other chains from America.

However, I think I'll stick with Pepper Lunch .
