So many adults threw literal tantrums they couldn't get them without mustard or whatever. When it wasn't the special I'd ask for no onions. I eventually learned to like onions because mickey D's(NUTS LMAO) was the only fast food place to dice their onions so small it made it almost impossible to get every single one without removing all the other good condiments. THX MCDONALDS! I love onions now. No joke they great. I also remember when there wasn't a limit to how many you could get and being able to buy a literal bag of fries ShortyMR.CAT has a new favorite as of 08:40 on Jul 8, 2020 |

I seriously loved the bags of minced onions. I would slam a handful on a burger patty and close the grill. I also made little sandwiches out of chicken nugs on cutout Big and Tasty buns, lettuce and mayo. My friend would order a 9-piece “special” and I’d give them 3 mini chicken sandwiches in a 9 piece box. Or a burger with no mayo to get an onion and bbq sauce cooked burger. Edit: the 90s-ist thing you can do is hang out at McDonald’s and then rollerblade to 7-11 to play super street fighter SLOSifl has a new favorite as of 02:12 on Jul 8, 2020 |

If he was working when I went in there, my order would be hooked the gently caress up. Extra bacon on my juniour bacon cheese burgers, extra fries, double patties. It was the poo poo if you were high as gently caress.

That’s the poo poo when you’re sober, too tbh. I still maintain that Wendy’s is the best overall fast-food chain in the USA. People who gush over In-and-Out or Whataburger are basically outing themselves as never leaving the west. Also stress on overall best. Obviously you can’t get loving tacos at Wendy’s or some like, loaded fries combo, but overall selection, taste, and quality are always good.

If y'all love the impossibly small chopped onions on McD's burgers, here's what you can do: go to the spice aisle of your supermarket and get a canister of the dried chopped onions. Throw some into a container with water and put that into the fridge for a bit. They rehydrate into the exact same thing McD's puts on theirs, and now you can put them on yours. I know this sounds obvious, and I guess it is once you hear it / try it, but this was a neat little revelation for me a few years back.

wesleywillis posted:Anecdotal story time: I used to do POS support for Wendy's. Part of that was dealing with back of house food purveyor stuff. We also dealt with recipes and how the items should be made. You are correct. Pretty much everything is fresh. The buns come from a local baker, the rest comes from Sysco or Great Lakes, etc. The guac is pre-made but everything else is fresh. They do buy bagged lettuce but they make the salads in the morning and add the meat when you order so the salads are always fresh. They obsessively clean the Frosty machine. Like on their hands and knees cleaning even the feet of it with a green scrubby. The chili is nice. With the mix of hamburger patties and chili meat you get a nice texture. Don't worry, they don't let patties sit out for hours. They go in a hot cabinet after a few minutes if unsold, then go in the fridge. Chop them up and throw them in the chili when needed. Much less food waste then always throwing stuff out after 5 minutes hold time. You can also order anything you might possibly want from them as long as they have the components. The POS is setup so that you could make a KFC double-down if you want. Just press the a-la-cart menu button and everything is there. You want 50 beef patties and one slice of cheese? Go nuts. There's a button to do that. I don't go there often, but I spent a year and a half doing the support job so I know way too much about how Wendy's works.

I'm old enough to remember the Insanely Litigious Internet and so it still spins me out - in a delighted way, of course, something increasingly rare - that something like Frinkiac actually not only exists but has done so for years. I mean, it's like every frame and every word of The Simpsons. I don't know if there's some weird legal loop-the-loop that keeps Copyright law in general completely confounds me. I read once that an old episode of WKRP had to be edited in syndication because a character's doorbell played, like, one instrumental bar of "Fly Me to the Moon."

Music rights are weird that way. When shows were in their initial runs up until about 1998, they never expected to be available in home formats. So unfortunately, music get replaced with generic crap, because it's cheaper than renegotiating. Ever watched Married With Children on streaming?

See also: Daria, The Wonder Years, Northern Exposure. I remember in Daria's case it was some sweetheart deal with being on MTV, so they could just slap on Radiohead's "No Surprises" for broadcast and it was cool as long as it was being aired on MTV. That deal obviously did not anticipate where the market was going. A pity too because that late 90s soundtracks adds a lot to the show's verisimilitude.

The video segments never made it to home video because they'd have to negotiate new rights to each and every artist that was used. Speaking of WKRP, supposedly Shout Factory did all the legwork on new rights, so I've read their box set is the one you want if you want the restored music.

Fortunately, the best X-Files episode ever, Season 3, Episode 3: D.P.O., still has all its originally aired music. That series, and specifically THAT episode, is my contribution to the thread. Arcades with Virtua Fighter, Filter soundtrack, pre-Tenacious D Jack Black, a Ford Taurus, a completely unknown Giovanni Ribisi.

I remember that being a big deal when the DVDs were released, how they took so long because the creators refused to release them without the original music so they had to negotiate all the rights. Definitely worth it, if they hadn't it just wouldn't have had the same feel, and a couple of episodes would have made no sense at all. Whatever deal they made, it's applied to streaming too. I last watched Freaks and Geeks a couple of years ago via streaming and everything was there.
