McDonald’s often caters to the culture of the country it’s in, which is why I’ll occasionally check out Mickey D’s when I’m travelling in Asia or Europe. There’s India’s Chicken Maharaja Mac, Israel’s McShawarma and McSpaghetti in the Philippines, which serves spaghetti the way God intended: with cut-up hot dogs in the sauce.
Oftentimes, it turns out to be junk, but it’s interesting junk, such as this Thai Green Curry Burger:

Uh, that is not in Thailand. They speak Thai in Thailand and that poster is written in Chinese.
@Thai Won On: I never said this was in Thailand.
I assume it's from Hong Kong, given that there's the ad is in both English and Chinese (in fonts that suggest Thai) and the price is in dollars.
Clever squirming. You said "McDonald’s often caters to the culture of the country it’s in". This photo could have been taken in Markham or on Spadina.
@Thai Won On: Hardly. Consider that spaghetti isn't Filipino, but McSpaghetti is one of the offerings unique to McDonald's in the Philippines.
