Hybridity as a Culture: McDonalds vs. Supermac

As we saw the dance video in the Pod, the difference in culture from that culture to our culture was evident. Another example of culture changes would be the example of McDonalds in Ireland. In Ireland, they have put a twist on what we know as McDonalds, and they call is Supermac.
Supermac does not only serve burgers and fries, but they also serve pizza, cakes, and Irish breakfasts on a real plate. It is more than just a "burger joint."
Here is an image displaying men with an assortment of food at Supermac in Northern Ireland:

here is an image of what the outside of the fast food restaurant looks like:

As you can tell, it defintely looks more like a real restaurant than U.S.'s McDonalds. The main con about Supermac is the wait time. Buyers get aggravated because sometimes the food takes a little while to be prepared.
