Turns out Vkusno & Tochka Tastes Better than McD's

McDonalds sold all its McDonald's in Russia so it wouldn't lose any money on the virtue-signalling.

Naturally, it turns out the food is better now. They took the Communism out, probably. E.g. went back to frying the fries in lard instead of industrial seed byproducts a.k.a. engine oil. Probably less unhealthy too.

Apparently McD's keeps the right to buy them back in 15 years.
A) Have Russia confiscate the restaurants unless their yachts etc. are repaid.
B) Sell them but immediately abandon them and create proper knock-offs.

    I suspect that Russia is pretty tired of following laws in their spirit with people who rely on the letter.

    And so, they will rely on the letter.

    Ah, there are no more McDonalds restaurants my American friend, they are now the Vkusno & Tochka!
