    I'd actually be really interested to see what my family consumes in a typical week in one display like that without having to empty my fridge onto the dining room table.

    I was about to call BS at first on the British photo cause I didn't see the Weetabix. Also seeing their Mars which is called Milky way in the US, made me smile.

    First of all, Canadia? Was that intentional?

    Second of all, I want the Kuwaiti kitchen!

    No, Mars are Mars and Milky Ways are Milky Ways, made by Mars, in both countries.

    I googled it.....since I have NEVER seen a MIlky Way in Canada. http://www.candyblog.net/blog/item/milky_way_mars_canada_uk

    They are the same bar with a different name.

    I'm embarrassed by the UK picture. There is not nearly enough alcohol there for it to represent us truly.

    I can't find any in the USA picture. Definite props for those pizzas though

    There's a pack of Budweiser in the back, under the Diet Coke.

    It would have been fun to post a pic of the supplies I bought for a week of feeding the branding crew...over $1000.00 spent at Costco and grocery store in one day---gotta remember to get a picture of the back of the pick up truck next time!

    I want to know where the Germans have hidden all the cake and also where the French have hidden all the wine.

    I mostly wanted to know where the French hid all the garlic.. there was a distinct lack of it.

    Polish... noticed alot of sausage going on there

    I actually own the coffee table book with all these images in it. It is meant to be a commentary on who eats what around the world. I think it is fascinating, and I want to eat like they do in Bhutan, or Guatemala. Thanks for posting, Taunto! You rock! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

    +1

    And I see a lot of chubby people in those photos, certainly people who would be considered overweight. I guess it goes to show that no matter WHAT you eat, when you eat too much of it you become overweight. Neat pictures!

    Yah that. Even with them living in what appears to be a refugee camp, they look like they had more fresh veggies than the American family.

    Thanks for posting this - it really put things into perspective.
