Continental breakfast… What the hell does that mean?

Why on earth do hotels offer a breakfast called continental breakfast? In my opinion, it should be called Mediocre Breakfast.

Wikipedia defines it as the following:

“An institutional meal plan based on lighter Mediterranean breakfast traditions and served in hotels world-wide is known as a European "Continental breakfast". It is a light snack meant to tide one over until lunch. It consists mainly of coffee and milk (often mixed as Cappuccino or latte) with a variety of sweet cakes such as brioche and pastries such as croissant, often with a sweet jam, cream, or chocolate filling. It is often served with juice.”

Institutional… Mediterranean…European…None of these are words that come to mind when I think of continental breakfast. So I have decided to re-write the definition for Wikipedia.

A crappy meal plan based on a 3^rd world countries breakfast traditions typically served in cheap hotels for free. It is a shitty light snack that does not hold you over until lunch (forcing customers to load up there bags with extra food and “steal”). It consists of some liquids, some solids, cereal, and nasty milk that generally comes from a machine (never drink milk that comes out of a machine, it is made from powder which is not normal). Sometimes there is still orange juice (there is never enough for everyone, there is always an abundant supply of the shit juices like grapefruit, cranberry, and piss).

The end.
