    You know, in the freaking US. It's an American company.

    Doesn't matter where they first marketed the chocolate bar called a Mars Bar. It was made by an American company so it's American.

      I think he's referring to the fried Mars Bar, which is from Scotland It's okay, you can apologize to Drake for calling him names.

      Not to mention that the first mars bars were made in the UK...

        Haggis is also "classic Americana" in Oerdin's book.

          I don't see what's so Americana about frying chocolate bars to begin with. That's not MY America. But **** it. Mars Bars are American.

              1. A food that is widely associated with Scotland and only recently "made the jump" to the US is by no means representative of "classic Americana."

              2. I serious doubt a hipster douche like yourself is actually a county fair aficionado.

                Maybe copying British cuisine is "classic Americana"

                  What the **** is a county fair? I mean I've seen them on television but I didn't think they actually still existed in modern America.

                    Well, you could always look at Wikipedia instead of asking a computer gaming site.

                      They don't. They're now only a memory from America's golden age like fried Mars bars, haggis, bagpipes, and kilts.

                            Dude, county fairs have been all about fried stuff for as far back as I can remember. Yes, the celebrity item which gets fried changes every year and that Drake doesn't understand that shows me he doesn't know much about county fairs even if he did grow up in Nebraska.

                              don't forget "Spaghetti" is classic Americana, so maybe it's just copying European cuisine?
