Five Bucks
 

How much food $5 will buy, around the globe.

Is there a similar thing for how long it takes to earn $5 in different countries? You need that information to complete the picture ...

I don't think it was trying to tell Americans, other people have a better deal on food. They were just trying to show the big range of cost on different foods in different areas. I'm certainly not going to pout because some Africans are getting twice as many bananas for their money.

Pretty sure it was aimed at Americans, as everything was done with $5 American.
I think most people are aware there's billions of earthlings who don't see $5, or it's equivalent, in a month, in a year.

I call shenanigans on 2 bottles of Newkie Brown for $5.
But it's a very interesting idea, and well done.

I can get one bottle of wine for $5. It's not that great though. Still does the trick though.

I gotta start drinking Chinese beer.

Anybody ever drink a Chinese beer? Does it equate to anything I drink? (Think Bud, Bud Light, Coors Light, PBR, High Life)

We used to drink Tsing Tso and Tiger Beer regularly.
Sadly can't compare it to anything you drink as I am no familiar with those beers!

I've had American Bud - too light and frothy for me.
So I'd say these might be too dark for you.

Sapporo (Japanese) is lighter though.
And comes in lovely looking cans.

Not nearly as cheap as the Chinese stuff, though.

But, then again, what is?

I'm used to paying more for good ale and lager.
Or I was.

(Until I succumbed to tramp-cider which is cheaper than Coca-Cola and can lay you out within 2 litres.)

I've been to countless beer/ lager tasting events by local breweries. Without the intention of getting tanked on free samples even.

Can't say the same for the BBC Good Food & Drink Show, where I deliberately got my teetotal ex to drive Mum, Dad and me. But we'd just got re-engaged so he adored being part of the family again and after all, we all just sang until we fell asleep on the way home. And had made a special point of trawling the food hall countless times too - being we were all greedy in those days and alcoholism was still only something that affected Uncle Ted.

"Thank. God. For. Five. Dollar. Buckets."

He said, drunkenly, from the bar.

Yeah, I resurrected a thread for that. Eat me if ya don't like it.

Chinese beer is kitten piss.

To which of the 35 countries in America are you referring? #rhetoricalquestion

Only one of those 35 countries refer to themselves as Americans, so you are the only one in the hemisphere who is confused.

How am I confused? The first half or your statement illustrated my point exactly. My fellow United States citizens (including POTUS) don't seem to want to acknowledge the fact that our country is not the only one in America that matters. Some of our younger generation even think America is the name of our country.
