"It's the little differences"

Puyloubier (week 14)

As Vincent Vega so memorably observed, "You know what's the funniest thing about Europe?  It's the little differences."  Here is my example.

Pictured is our current cereal selection.  As you can see, the All Bran and Weetabix are identical.  The Corn Flakes are, oddly enought, not translated to "Flaçons de Mais" or whatever.  The Frosted Flakes are renamed, and the Honey-Nut Cheerios box is different but the cereal is the same.

However, this is a picture of what they call Life Cereal in France.  As you can see, it bears no vestige of similarity to the Life you get in North America.

And yes, quarter pounders are still called "Royale with cheese" (you can't get one without the cheese - another little difference).
