tacos are seen as a weird, hipster exotic food outside of the US. not something you think of as fast food, a snack or even something you have regularly.

Dunno exactly where donuts come from, but every country will have some sort of fried sweet dough type of cake.

In Denmark and Norway (i ahve no idea about Sweden, i try not to think of them) we have klejner. They arent really fried, but boiled in oil so the exterior has a nice bite and the insides are fluffy. Theyre usually made at christmas time and flavoured with cardemomme

How recent is this? I'm kind of glad my motherland (Bosnia) is spared almost all these chains. A Starbucks wouldn't hurt so much though. That KFC and McDonals reach is pretty impressive I must say. I feel bad we exported Subway so widely though, even worse than Burger King. But I hear big fast food chains put more effort and compete harder with their products in other regions of the world. So maybe they're not half bad?

Just because Taco bell isnt popular, doesnt mean mexican food isnt being sold. In fact, theyre seen as "hipster" food in many parts of the west that arent America so Mexishit immigrants are making a killing selling their grandmothers recipes to naive westerners as upmarket crap. Whats even worse is that its so hard to source traditional mexican ingredient in Australia with the exception of staples like chipotle chilli, habanero and corn Tacos, so if you want to try out authentic mexican cuisine, and experiment with regional mexican ingredients and different chillis, you need to go to the expensive mexican restuarants in upmarket areas where miguel the owner has his connections in South America sending produce to his little chain and charging insane prices for something that you can probably get in a village in mexico for a few dollars.

And no one wants to invest in it because:

1. KFC demands that a franchise owner has muscles enough to start up in the whole country at the same time.

2. The concept relies on high volume to be profitable.

3. There's a very high risk that most/all locations wouldn't have high enough volume

The real answer is that both Taco Bell and Dunkin came like twenty to thirty years later than the other chains in the European market so they still have lots of catch up to do. However they are so late that the market is already quite saturated so it's an uphill battle.

There was literally a riot in Ireland when the first and so far only Krispy Kreme store opened up. Even had people flying in from the UK to try them. It's not even in an easy location to get to and the one time I was near it to the wait time was 45mins, which there is no way I'd bothered waiting for.

You may be right if you talk about Milano, but keep in mind that there are people in the south that never even tried McDonald's or they tried it a couple of time in their life, and I'm talking about youngsters too.

As far as donuts go, every german town is trashed full of arab money laundering I mean donut stores.
Not the good homemade kind, they just put a Snickers & chocolate sauce on top of premade circle dough shit. Or Bounty woooooh

I visited the single dutch Tacobell once and I preferred it over most of our german Taco stuff. (minced meat and maggi sachets in dürüm)
Authentic stuff with proper imported ingredients is extremely rare to come by probably under a dozen for all of germany.

Yes, we do have at least one. I bought some once, can't remember if they were good. Also 3 USD = 19 kr. is a pretty standard price for a storebought cake. Prepared food and labor-intensive products in general are just more expensive here than abroad because we have low unemployment.

Mexican food is huge in Norway. It's very common to have tacos on fridays. If I go to a grocery store, but isle for Mexican food is bigger than any other specific isle. It's more Texmex than Mexican though.

The map is deceptive in general because if a country has a US Army/Air Force base, then suddenly they now have a fuckton of US franchises in their country (though all localized to the exchange food court on the base). Like how Popeye's Chicken is in Germany and France, but most locals will have never seen a location.

I don't think I have ever seen a Subway, KFC or Dominos here in Denmark. They might be here but they are pretty rare then. McDonalds, Burger King and Starbucks are common.
A train station I go through when I visit my parents had a donut shop for about a year before it closed down and I'm fairly sure it was a Dunkin Donuts. Maybe the map is old or they just closed all shops already (or maybe I'm just wrong).

I remember the Krispy kreme stand in my home city was flooded by massive queues at the start. It normalised after about two weeks and I got to try some without waiting an hour. They were OK but they're just so goddamn sweet, even the "original" ones are just absolutely glazed in sugar. I have a sweet tooth and it was too much for even me

Eh I've used that stuff and I'd say I actually prefer it to just plain dry and seasoned ground beef. Especially with the hard taco shells, they can be pretty dry and adding sour cream on top of like three layers of other ingredients doesn't help

because Europe's good at making pastries and doesn't necesarily needs industrial standardized shit like donuts (plus there's huge variation in pastry preferences between european countries)
Also donuts are popular in the US because the american way of feeding is poisonned by excess sugar, which has a greater link to obesity rate than fat prevalence

Because fridays is when the weekend start, and tacos scale really well to whatever amount of people you have over, it is low effort, and because you can choose what to put on there is no real conflict where people dislike it.

In short, its an easy meal anyone can put together for a crowd the day people get off work.

We have a taco place arround, it's not a chain, you can eat an excellent taco for literally 1€, I'm guessing they make the money off the drinks ... and shitty nachos. I very much doubt taco bell can get anywhere close to the quality these people offer. Legit one of the best tasting meats I've ever eaten period.
Other than that tacobell has some super trash food aura that makes me not want to even try it. Me loving breaded chicken and going to KFC to get a cold breaded boneless chicken didn't help either. It seems like for your global chains, quality isn't in the menu.
