I'm American first and foremost, and I eat cheeseburgers and love my $ .98 drinks from McDonalds- What. You people's McDonalds sell drinks at less than $1? The ones here sell about everything at several thousands, everything. I'm sure it's only because High-Fructose Corn Syrup is made hand over-fist here and is thus very cheap, dirt cheap. Even the $ .96 price ( .87 before taxes) is technically overpriced since it's about $ .10 or so for the syrup, even accounting for carbonation and ice. Want to know why one of the most important primaries in our Presidential election is in Iowa, otherwise a part of Fly-Over Country? Iowa makes all (or most) of our corn, and hence our HFCS, and they are subsidised by the government, so you better vow to protect it if you want to have their support.

Don't know why it's in thousands though.
