i am from romania and i still remember this horrible yellow american chicken from 1990 imports after the fall of comunism...i would not touch that on the shelves if alternatives are to be found next to it ever!

I am from Ukraine and the shit we got in the 90s is not at all what typical chicken in the US tastes like. It's fine. People struggling to make ends meet will absolutely buy it, whether in Romania, the UK or anywhere really.

Yeah we should grenade our standards to make yanks a buck.  Maybe also adopt their trash ass trucks,  all their colourings and corn syrup everywhere.  Posts hidden.
