Is that a pack of Marlboro cigarettes? Every real European knows that a proper coffee & cigarettes breakfast requires Gauloises.

It's the extra tar that makes the Gailoises so smoooooooth..

How DARE you to include Nutella in that American stuff!
Almost spit my cigarette in my coffee in disgust.
It's 50% fat, 50% sugar and disgusting so I get the confusion. But it's indeed Italian.

And ramen is Japanese.
All commonly eaten in America, granted, but it's weird to call it "American" food.
It's actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.
The world is so fucked no amount of coffee and cigarettes help anymore. Ketamine on the other hand...
I do ketamine every weekend but during the week coffee is what motivates me to come out of bed.

Nicotine might help with short term anxiety symptoms, but addictions of all kinds tend to make anxiety worse overall and dependent on the addictive substance to not be anxious
Yes, that's why you should never skip your cigarette with breakfast :)
(I quit smoking luckily, I'm just joking around)

To be fair, cigarettes and coffee are probably healtier than all those foodproduct items on the left.
Junk food is bad? Yeah, sure. Cigarettes are healthier than junk food? No way. Either you're a guerilla cigarette advertisement or you've gone off the deep end.

There's also the third possibility of making a joke …
Jokes? On my shitpost community? 😡
Who do these people think they are, making jokes on shitposts? I’d report myself to the mods if that was an option!

I don't know, my tummy hurts more after eating a cigarette than junk food.
The choice is lung cancer and heart disease or diabetes and heart disease. At least us europeans die looking good /s.
I still think you have better odds living longer with the coffee and cigs. I've seen far more elderly smokers than elderly fatsos.

Don't compare all of Europe to France! The French love their despresso, that's on them.

Unfortunately, the one on the right may be more healthy
Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of heart disease and cancer globally. If you smoke, quitting is the biggest thing you can do to improve your health
Nah, obesity and high blood pressure are the top causes of heart disease, but smoking is also a major risk factor. Bad food and cigarettes are awful for you. Just drink a coffee and pursue an affair like a good Frenchman.
I've never seen a single European use a Zippo. We use Bic over here !

On the "Europeans" side that's at least 2 decades out of date.
The expresso coffee part is still true in a good part of Europe, but pretty much everywhere in it nowadays only a small fraction of people smoke and even those who do can't actually do it inside a coffee shop because they're not allowed to smoke there anymore, which spoils a great deal of the enjoyment of having a morning coffee.
I live in Germany and work with Turks, Poles, Ukrainians, Romanians, a Greek and a Slovenian. This meme is accurate for all of us. Weekends are a different story of course but in my experience this is indeed the true business day continental breakfast.
Is it? I was just in London a couple months ago, the amount of people smoking and vaping there was honestly shocking.

Lived in Europe my whole life and never seen someone pair coffee and cigarettes as part of their breakfast
I know it as Greek Breakfast.
It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it's best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.

Oh yes the famous nation of Europe. An entire continent full of nations and different cultures been rendered down to the stereotypes of the occupants of a single city.
Americans need to get out more.

This is also the reason why Metamucil doesn't sell in Europe. Seriously: just looking at the left picture gives me constipation.
(I understand that the pic is a joke, but anyone who has a coffee and a fag after breakfast can attest to their wonderful laxative powers.)
