This industrialized standardized sanitized garbage --the same no matter the country and the brand-- is an excellent example of the leveling and destructive effect of globalization of national cultural values in the name of profit.
It's always the same fatty unhealthy crap. To sell it they must resort to plastic gadgets, prizes, gimmicks.
Here they try to manipulate the locals' emotions by recuperating their disgust and anger at the type of society they would like to impose with $$$ as the only value.
