Cheap advertising or the real thing. Calling all Americans

Ok. So McDonalds in Sweden is currently having this campaign called "International Weeks" where they bring in hamburgers from other parts of the world and let us taste them for a week. Each country gets one week in McDonalds before they move on to the next country. Last week was French week and this week is American Week in McDonalds resturants over here so they have what they call "Americas favorite burger" on the menu until next week. So when I was at the local mall today I decided to try it out at the McD they have there. They call it the "Pepper Jack" and its supposed to be the burger that you guys in the states loves the most so they bring it over here to let us taste it. I have to say it was a pretty nice burger. Rather big with a tasty peppersauce, went down nicely with loads of fries, 2 garlic dips and a big Coke Zero as usual. My point here tho is not to point out how good the actual burger was, its to ask you guys thats actually living over there if this burger even exists. See,I get very suspicious when I see stuff like this. I´d like to think that its a cheap marketing trick to make stupid Swedes buy more burgers and keep them away from "Max" wich is a very big burgerjoint here. I´d like to think that they have just "invented" a new burger and call it for a real american burger so we think it would be cool to taste it, just like I did today. So, my question to all the American Gamespotters out there today is: Does "Pepper Jack" actually exist in any part of the United States of America or is this the big marketing thing that I suspect it to be? Or another question would be: If they call it the "International Weeks", is it a week that the whole world has? Is there something called the "International Weeks" over there to and if so, do they serve European hamburgers in your local McD´s. Answer me so that I can finally find out if it was a real down to earth, 100% cool American hamburger I ate today. And if your local burgerjoints are serving international burgers, whats the names of the burgers and where are they from?
