That's one way to show folks. I'd have been a really PO'd customer

I get that you don't make the rules and all, but in the moment, in my current state of mind, there would be a Glock 17 9mm involved. Hi, my name is Raw Shark, and I endorse this statement.

But if I've had some drinks, that's definitely off the rez.

Just came across this on the ole YouTube feed.
Its a good way to explain it to American's as we normally don't notice any thing unless it blocks us from our normal every day routine.
Then its "ZOMG!! WTF! JUST GIMME MY TRIPPLE WHATEVER coffee" gahhh we are soo frickin screwed if any thing happens and people need to be adults for a minute.

When KFC did a tweet making fun of Donald Trump, I resolved that the next time I craved fried chicken or was near a KFC, I would go for KFC, even though I usually go Popeye's.

Now, I will go Burger King.

I do enjoy a good Whopper, it's still shit, but as far as a fast food burger goes, it's pretty good if I'm going to stoop to there anyway. According to Fast Food Nation, McDonald's has an entire department called, "The Whopper Stopper," meant to combat it, which has never seen success. Ronald has 4/5 of the top 5 burgers, but not #1.

We've only had BK here for like 3 years, it's OK for the price, though I think I prefer McD over BK because I like the QP the most out of the choices available, of course the BK restaurant offers free refills of soda and also serves beer, but now the MCD offers double QPs as standard part of the menu.

Still both of them are blown away by the small place out in the sticks, near my home. But it's 10-13 bucks for a meal there vs <8 euros in either of those places. Just can't fucking beat that guys burgers though. And man, the fries, I don't think he does anything more special than fry them longer and harder because they are just crispier and better than anywhere else. When you get takeout usually the fries are soggy and sad when you get them home even if it's just a few miles to go. These aren't. Best damn fries I've had though.

I like that other people live in places where you can serve beer with fast food, but in Texas the headline would be: "The mortality rate within .5 miles of every Burger King has reached 100%. Experts seem to think it's tied homosexuals holding hands in public."

The King is actually better than the Whopper, IMO, but neither beats a Wendy's triple cheeseburger.

With the exception of a cheeseburger from Boom A Rang's.

Wendy's Triple is the shit, but they pay a lot into political causes that I don't support. Still, good burger.

I live in a burger town, though. If you've got money in your pocket you can get something fantastic.
