Why would that be a problem? Are people so insecure that they cannot handle people liking the stuff they like? Your likes and dislikes is not a problem for me. OTOH, if you like beating your wife, I guess that would be a problem. Are people beating their cheap foods?

OTOH, I'll take a $1.50 McBurger over a $10.00 fancy burger any day of the week. Those fancy burgers are just too big and gross to me. A McBurger would normally make me feel sick, except if I haven't eaten anything for awhile in which case, I might say it's awesomely good. OTOH, I'd rather have a bowl of rice and raw fish than any burger.

If what you say is true, then I'd say that McDonald's has brilliant marketing. The reality is that young people are going to determine the future food trends of America. The young always do. These kids are open to and exposed to new food ideas. Like sweet spaghetti. Old folks are not going to like it because they're set in their ways. That's not going to stop Jollibee in the US. Jollibee occupies a very sweet spot in food chains. They get to compete against KFC et al., and McDonald's et al., and apparently, the kids dig their spaghetti.
