Could munchie boxes be successful in america?

[Anonymous No.16448552]

>>16448543
In college towns yes. Drunk me at UMass Lowell used to go to a place called Suppas and get ludicrous food. "Fat chicken sub" is chicken Parm sub with fries and mozzarella sticks on it. They did a 3lb one and I'd order it and eat it over two days.

Nah
Same thing will happen in Australia.
Some faggot vegan hipster in a major city will complain that it's too unhealthy, it'll get bad press and it wont take off, just cuz it's not a fucking kale & quinoa salad

Our portion sizes are so fucking massive here in teh US that I would prefer some sort of place that gives me LESS food, not more. I rarely finish an entire plate of food when I eat out because the portion sizes are so fucking large.

I could see a certain level of Chinese carryout offering a really excessive Pupu Platter, maybe even with some additional silly stuff that you wouldn't ordinarily see with that menu item. Pour some sweet & sour sauce on that shit. I'd hit it.

Probably, but there seems to be some method to the madness that is the munchie box. If you did it with chinese and mexican food, yea. We have all you can stuff your fat face places.

We have something kind of similar already from some chains especially if they do seafood. You get breadsticks or hushpuppies, fries, shrimp or fish or whatever, sliders, it's good. Comes in a pizza box

No because it is complete dogshit that could only exist in bongland. We have plenty of unhealthy food in America, but at least ours tastes good.

[Anonymous No.16450035]

>>16449269
thing is hipsters justify that shit cuz it's vegetarian and "omg it has, like, veggies on it so it's healthy ok?". You could probably convince them that kebabs are vegan if you tell them the mayo is aioli or some other fag shit instead.

but cuz "fried food is icky" and talking about obesity as a health issue is "problematic" they'll fucking snub Munchy Boxes for being too unhealthy, like the fucking hipster faggots did in Melbourne.

what always gets me is the leathery-looking shaved meat that looks like it hasnt been cooked or seasoned with anything.
like.. what are you supposed to do? just shovel in a few handfuls of that flavourless, cold, floppy meat in your mouth? are you supposed to wrap a few fries with it and dip it in something?
fuck knows.

it should be noted that kebab is typically very flavorful and tender, the meat is very fatty and is seasoned strongly and is fairly easy to eat. that's why it's so popular in europe.

I think one near a big university and bar district would do well. Have a take away and delivery options. No sit down dinning.

Yeah suppas sucks. But it was right outside the frat house and my dorm and they served greasy food real cheap

[Anonymous No.16451314]

The problem is that you're already having to compete with existing fast food in America, and for the average price of a munchy box you can get a lot of fast food.

There was a place is the town where I went to college right next to the bars that would serve something like this. They called it the heart attack or something and it was gyro meat, and everything fried like onion rings, fried zucchini, mushrooms, French fries, curly fries, mozz sticks, etc. It was like $10 and would feed the whole crew when 2am rolled around

[Anonymous No.16451379]

[Anonymous No.16451683]

>it's so popular in Europe
That's more because kebab is basically tranny meat - highly processed and mangled from a natural form to a manufactured one with lots of extra unnecessary ingredients. Naturally yuropoors would be drawn to it.

[Anonymous No.16451713]

>>16448543
I don’t know if there’s typically an option to get a little of everything in one box but that looks like the kind of shit they sell at gas station fish/chicken/gyro places in the hood.

[Anonymous No.16451725]

>>16448543
We already have a variety of better unhealthy foods. What foods people prefer though really depends on the region. Eurofriends often forget America is fucking massive and tastes vary across the country.

[Anonymous No.16451734]

>Could munchie boxes be successful in america?

No. Their whole success was based of the fact they were/are essentially novelty fast food items with a bit of each off the menu. Most people who get them actually share them - not gobble them down in one sitting by themselves. In the USA by contrast it is neither novel nor seen as a 'huge' meal as we do in quaint little bongland (despite being as fat as we are). A typical munchie box is nothing more than what a typical american orders from their takeaway for themselves anyway.

[Anonymous No.16451755]

>>16448543
no I highly doubt it.
Americans are slow to embrace new Ideas, once I was in Ohio and overheard a lady inquiring about what a deep fried cheese curd was and why the hell they would ass something like that to the menu.
The worker didn't know what a cheese curd was either so they went back and forth until the lady ordered her regular mozza sticks.
It can't be helped.

Dunno man, I live with two fat people and I really can't imagine either of them being able to eat all that in one sitting. Half of it though, sure. Then they'd put the rest in the fridge for later.

A lot of food for little money? No thanks, I'd rather pay $8+ for a small sized value meal at a food food joint.

When fast food is as cheap and readily available as it is in the U.S., there's no need. Even then most of the stuff in these boxes can be purchased in bulk at any grocery store freezer section with the exact same quality with the exception of the kebab meat.
>>16451867
Actually this. Though the two times my friends convinced me to try it I couldn't finish it. It's like eating a boxed up fart.

[Anonymous No.16452435]

I wish. In the early era of those ghost-restaraunts on delivery services they made an attempt at it, at least where I'm from in the US, and it was definitely underwhelming.

He's not wrong though. Especially at a sit down casual place. We've just got it ingrained in our head to expect a platter of food at a restaurant. It's always way too much and honestly I'd pay the same price for higher quality in a smaller serving
