Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

I doubt the accuracy of this map. I have never seen a dominos in Sweden and I've seen a few dunkin donuts so the map is, at least not fully accurate. Also didn't McDonald's shut down in Russia?

Could you please post a source for this map?

I don't speak Swedish, but there seem to be plenty of Dominos in Sweden.

Edit: and no Dunkins since 2018

McDonalds in Russia, like most other companies, “shut down” in name only. All the same locations operate and sell the same burgers and fries, only the branding changed.

Now called "Вкусно и точка", which roughly translates as "Tasty. Period". Already known in folklore, by striking out the middle 4 letters, as "Вкус очка" - "Taste of asshole". Also gave birth to some of the funniest street art I've ever seen: Warning, as NSFW as it gets

It's all franchise, so McDonald's doesn't really own anything, and the ingredients are not flown in from america, so when they shut down officially in Russia all the franchisees just continued operating under a different brand, it's not hard to see how that happened.

But they probably got their fries from McCain, their ketchup from Heinz, their soft drinks from Coca-Cola. One would assume that sourcing would be more of an issue, considering that all the companies McDonald's usually sources from are American.

There is only a couple of Dominos in Sweden, on the west coast. Visited one in Gothenburg a couple of years ago. Dunkin went bankrupt and left.

It says Wikipedia in the bottom right corner.

source and/or age? It may be out of date.

On the flip side, it shown no Domino's pizza in Latvia, but we have it now
