I'd probably have had to have been part of the mainstream at some point in order to be a product of the mainstream media...... Who cares what people in canada think, anyway? Canada sucks. I know-- I'm ashamed to say that I'm half candian. Funny how I could tell a canadian right off. There all the product of something. Envy, perhaps? Ten reasons why canada blows. 1) They gave up Marc Emery 2) they raped Newfoundland 3) they sold the world supply of north atlantic cod to japan while forbidding thier own citizens from fishing! Now the spiecies is 95% extinct and north atlantic canadians, after 400 years of living on cod, are living on welfare. 4) They all show EXACTLY the same amount of ignorance about the US 5) censorship 6) censorship 7) censorship 8) censorship 9) censorship 10) it's too fuckin' cold!
I'm sure drying beef was invented way before colombus was even born And I'm sure the concept at least of drive thrus was invented millenia ago
Drive through is an american invention, it takes a lot of laziness for that and preserved meat was packed in salt before columbus, and before pemmican (buffalo jerky) was discovered. less salt in the inland plains. mongolians had less massive herds of animals\more people, were not still hunter gatherers by the time they would have needed jerky jerky is american.
Ok, jerky is American, but I'm still hanging on to drive thru's I'm sure some merchant somewhere in the Middle Ages set up a tent so people could ride by on horses and pay without getting off. (Getting off the Horse that is )
