Fast food may have originated in the US, but the free condiments that generously accompany meals haven't always translated to their counterparts overseas.
快餐也許發源于美國，但美國快餐店免費無限量供應的調料卻沒有隨著快餐一起傳播到其他國家。

American Jon Baldwin experienced this first hand when visiting a McDonald’s drive-through in the United Kingdom and noticed his bag of food was conspicuously missing the typical sauce packets.
美國人喬恩?鮑德溫在英國的一家麥當勞汽車餐廳第一次體會到了這一點。他注意到他的快餐里面赫然不見了在美國標配的調料包。

"Excuse me, you forgot the ketchup," he told the server.
他告訴服務員：“對不起，你忘記給我番茄醬了。”

"Instead of reaching for ketchup packets, she starts typing away on the cash register: 50p."
“但是，服務員沒有伸手去拿番茄醬，而是開始在收銀機上打上：50便士。”

To make matters worse, the 50p went toward just a single ketchup packet. "In the US, not only do they not charge for ketchup, they hand you like 10 packets when you ask. Literally a fist full of ketchup.
更糟的是，50便士只能買一小包番茄醬。“在美國，番茄醬不但不收費，而且你向服務員要的話，他們會給你10包左右。也就是一大把番茄醬。”

Dave Holmes-Kinsella vouched for the fact that his American wife "was driven into fits of rage by the capricious condiment tax" in his native New Zealand, especially since salt and sugar sides come free.
戴夫?福爾摩斯-金賽拉擔保說這是真的，他的美國妻子在他的家鄉新西蘭時，“因為難以捉摸的調料稅大為光火”，尤其在鹽和糖都免費的情況下。
