I try to be good about eating local food, but I do grab a little McDs sometimes if I know it is something I can get quick, cheap and reliably.

I like that in many parts of Latin America, McD's has really neat ice cream cafes with fun tasting deserts, and that a McNifica (at least used to be) better than the quarter pounder, IMHO.

I have also had Dunkin' Donuts abroad (in Spain) which is really such a waste since the coffee and pastries are so good there.

Love SirJman's list above and may have to start doing something like that myself I'm already keeping a listing of the price of a cup of starbucks in different spots domestically and globally: http://thepurplepassport.blogspot.co...abel/Starbucks

I think Starbucks is a bit like fast food, coffee style (and, um, the price of an entire meal at McD's).
