American food chains are very present here. I'm possibly missing a few too.
I heard Coca-Cola had a long fight to become the #1 soda company in the country, but the national soft drink of Peru, Inca Kola, kept coming out on top. So they ended up buying Inca Kola. Some Americans don't like it and think it kind of tastes like bubble gum, but I like it.
I have yet to try McDonald's and see if it tastes the same. I rarely eat this kind of fast food in the U.S. anyways. But my first night here we were free to go find our own dinner, and ended up getting KFC. Very Peruvian fare. We did go to Pizza Hut once, and I'm not sure pepperoni existed at this particular one.
I'd rather go to a small restaurant and have a huge lemonade (technically lime-ade) and a delicious sandwich of shredded chicken, avocado, and shoe-string potato chips. I'd have had a nice picture of it if my camera hadn't died. So good.
