The hardest part to wrap your European head around would be four servings of sugary soda for breakfast, but how many people do you know that drink cups and cups of builders tea that is more sugar and milk than tea?

Neither side is right, humans can just be gross dopamine chasers in different ways. Compare the 'pizza' to a sausage roll, or whatever buttery monstrosity the French enjoy.

Butter is better than whatever industrial oil is used in that "pizza"

No, they're serving a fountain of cola. Fountain is a standard unit of measure here.

I must have been Brexited clean out of Europe then, cos I can't tell what's supposed to be incomprehensible.

You are correct! The price is less than a third of what I'd expect to pay for that!
