I always find the differences in menu items amongst the same fast food "restaurant" through different regions and countries interesting.
For example, you will only find the McKinley Mac in Alaskan McDonald's and I can't remember what was different about the McDizzle's in South Korea.

This area of the country has the most bland tastebuds on the planet.
