This picture is so sad.

Oh yeah, back in the ’90s hundreds of Soviets queued up because they were excited to try some Yankee fast‐food for the first time. It made sense if you saw it from their perspective, but as somebody stuck in Imperial America I don’t see the appeal. It’s just some mediocre, overpriced fast‐food that keeps you full for maybe about an hour or two if it doesn’t act like a laxative before then.

This photo really represents the end of an era, it's just such a perfect representation of what capitalism promised them, vs what it actually delivered them.
