/\/\/\ This too. You also get the added benefit of getting your drink immediately after paying so you're not waiting five minutesbeing thirsty.computer parts posted:Anyone who ever takes a road trip will find them a godsend. Also, it's better place to spend the time if you're waiting for a bus than a bus shelter. Especially when it's cold. Young Freud fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Feb 13, 2014 |

Iron Crowned posted:I will admit that this confuses me. It kinda makes sense for lunch during the work week, but I seriously wonder who goes out to eat at a fast food joint anymore? I went to a McDonald's for breakfast when I was moving because all my poo poo was packed up and they had taken out the play place and turned it into a "lounge." It's mostly based on America's road infrastructure, right? We spread through roads, diner culture became a thing. It has to be a holdover, right? Someone make a future joke about subways connecting all major american cities and use the actual Subway places in it.

I definitely remember driving down the drat Kansas turnpike on a road trip a while back and definitely giving in to the weird gas station/mcdonalds combo that would pop up every 15 miles or so because that is one boring rear end drive.

Sash! posted:I never go through the drive thru. In my experience it's exactly the opposite, since those four registers often have zero employees manning them. It's infuriating when I'm standing at the counter watching my exact order go out the window 5 times to lazy fucks who can't get of their asses. I also like being able to fill my own soda (so it isn't 90% ice and 3 sips of actual drink) and check the order in the bag without holding people up, etc.

The last couple of times I ate at KFC (more than a year ago, maybe even two years ago), the chicken was nothing but cartilage, tendons, and gristle. Also, the corn-on-the-cob went from a full cob to a half cob, which was bullshit. Both of those things put me off of KFC for a bit until I tried it again, and by then, the corn just came as kernels in a small cup; no more cobs of any size. gently caress KFC forever.

Chik-Fil-A may be homophobic as gently caress but their chicken is pretty good. KFC can be tasty but it's about 50/50 if I'll be able to leave my house the rest of the day so I tend to avoid it.

Tardcore posted:The one true choice in fast food chicken is I used to go out on the Thruway specifically because they only had Roy Rogers at rest stops anymore, it's that good. Or maybe the other fried chicken places around here are that bad; KFC's pretty boring, and Popeye's has never, ever gotten an order 100% correct for me/people I was with. Also, they don't serve spinach. I probably wouldn't want fast-food spinach, but you're Popeye's, what the hell is going on here?

Its named after Al Copeland being a crazy motherfucker and claiming to love the French Connection. This is of course, as I was informed, total bullshit and Popeye's is so named because it's actually Pope Yes and is a secret pro-papist conspiracy restaurant chain. Thank you crazy person with bible fliers.

Talking about corn on the cob and how stores look on the inside reminded me of how Long John Silvers used to be in the 90s. I miss the way the old nautical theme of the stores, with the really dark wood, oars on the wall, fake maritime nostalgic swag, etc. When I went to the place, it DID have a unique and rustic feel to it. It felt sort of special compared to a BK or a McDs. Now it's all chrome and bright and tacky. I always thought they had good fish and chicken. As for sides, some variety like corn on the cob, green beans, rice and slaw, but their fries left something to be desired. I know I've posted about this before, but back in the 90s LJS played around with a character called Norman Bigfish as a spokesperson. It only lasted a few months and went down as a horrible campaign. I only find the one commmercial for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laCCPX_Y3KY Apparently, a giant, disturbing talking fish spokesman really didn't appeal to people who might want to eat fish.

That little actress is going to be the new it-girl for playing soulless child psychopaths in crime dramas and horror movies in a few years, book it. Next time the commercial's on just mute it and stare at those glassy dead eyes and expressionless face, stare into the abyss

So it was named after a character who is based on a person who was nicknamed after the cartoon character...?  Sash! posted:You know why there's so few Roy Rogers around? Because it's not that good.

They should make a toilet paper commercial at a chocolate factory where there's this huge malfunction and all the alarms are going off and everyone's chest-deep in chocolate because the vats have overflowed but they're able to save the factory by using, I dunno, fuckin' Scott's toilet paper or whatever.

Gonz posted:Golden Corral's worst offense is their chocolate/white chocolate/caramel Wonderfall, which is a perpetually cascading, multi-tiered fondue fountain featuring melted chocolates and such. One of those sushi/hibachi/Chinese buffetts around here (Chicago suburbs) has one and it was actually quiet clean but the trick is they keep it fairly hidden and hard for little kids to reach on their own. I am sure Golden Corral does not.

I've been posting a lot in this thread but man, the Axe for Peace commercial is the worst thing on right now. If only these dictators and warmongers had liberally applied our lovely pre-teen air freshener, their Asian girlfriends would have sucked their dicks hard enough to prevent all wars.

Whoever came up with that needs to be drawn and quartered as an example to other marketeers. The previous winner was from when I was a kid, I saw a makeup/beauty commercial that literally said "How you look on the outside is how you feel on the inside."

I never liked commercials that Product A says 'look how we're better than Product B,' especially if there's some Product B characters involved. It always reeks of desperation to me. Like Coke and Pepsi. Coke is like "buy a Coke then drink it. Also here's some polar bears or something." Pepsi gets all "look, the Coke guy is drinking Coke, you should drink Pepsi because it's better than Coke!" Then Coke obliterates Pepsi in sales.
