Agreed, same with all these niche (internationally speaking) American franchises. Popeyes, Wendy's, Taco Bell. Even Burger King and KFC are pretty average when it comes to the things they're supposed to be good at.

Mcdonalds are still the king of American fast food.
KFC is just average. Lotteria( Korea copy KFC) is meh. I prefer Jollibee.

Surprise, surprise (not). Final agreement on BRICS expansion is delayed by India

JOHANNESBURG, Aug 23 (Reuters) - A deal to expand the BRICS group of leading developing countries appeared stuck in eleventh hour negotiations at a leaders summit on Wednesday, threatening to undermine the bloc's ambition to give the "Global South" more clout in world affairs.
An agreement had been meant to be adopted following a plenary session earlier on Wednesday, but the source said it had been delayed after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced new admission criteria.
The BRICS country official said that admission criteria India's Modi proposed included requiring members not be the target of international sanctions, ruling out potential candidates Iran and Venezuela.

Modi was also pushing for a minimum per capital GDP requirement.
"These are the things Modi brought in today," the official said. "So they are becoming a little bit of a spoiler."
