I worked with a guy whose Scottish cousin bragged about drinking “imported Budweiser.”

When I visited Ireland I noticed that a lot of the locals were drinking Heineken.

Heineken is OK, but if you're in Ireland why settle for OK?

When I lived in London (a dozen years ago) I always chuckled at the many hipster and yuppie types I saw drinking Budweiser thinking it was really something special. I later became acquainted with some who enthusiastically supported the Campaign for Real Ale. Unsurprisingly, they openly mocked the hipsters...

Another thing I couldn't quite wrap my head around: being on a train and overhearing a group of late teens/twenties couples coming into the city for a holiday. They couldn't wait to go to KFC!
