As a matter of fact, it started in 1919. It may be difficult to conceive, in our part of the world, that another nation has been eating speedily for over 80 years, while we began acquiring the bad habit only a little over a decade ago. But, as is the case with most bad habits, they quickly take hold of you, occasionally turning into addictions, and soon enough a world without them becomes difficult to imagine. The other common trait shared by fast food chains is that the food seems to be injected with a substance that causes instant but false feelings of extreme fulfilment and satiation, which fade a few minutes after leaving the restaurant. And although everyone knows that the less one eats there the better, one never stops.
Prices are within the fast food range.
