Worst memory of my US visit.

Walking around Kansas City on a warm Sunday (boy do they lock up on a Sunday)

From Downtown we did Union Station & what is now the WW1 memorial (and politely told the Guard about Australias WW1 efforts )then across to "Hallmark Plaza"???

Hallmark is a greeting card company. I think it's HQed in KC.

Great Sub/Bread roll thingy and a bottle of something Orangy. (Great descriptions!)

If it was orange it wasn't root beer. That's almost black.

The drink was at least 125% sugar and even though we continued walking down to our Motel at Country Club got there with almost half of the bottle left.

Luckily we dont get Root Beer here except in specialty shops, our poison would be Sarsparilla.

My worst memory of my trip to Oz was the first day, jet-lagged, ordering a steak sandwich at a mom & pop lunch/diner kind of place. They asked me if I wanted "salad" on it. Thinking lettuce and tomato I said yes.

I got cold, wet, sliced beets. And wet, purple bread. At least the kanga . . . steak was good.

You think you got a roo steak burger, very rare.
It would also be rare not to get lettuce, tomato as standard and onion, cheese, pineapple & egg as extras.
Nothing wrong with Beetroot on a burger, its a major part of Eastern Europes favourite soup and a salad favourite here..

Yes, Hallmark -- 100% owned by and named after the Hall family -- is headquartered in Kansas City. They may well be the biggest company in town, but since they're privately held there aren't many means for comparison. The company is a client of one of my former employers, and I can say that the entire accounting department, at least, is staffed with wonderful, friendly people!
