OG chicken sandwich. I mean, it's also garbage, but the addictive type.

They got a good taste on the burgers if you hold the ketchup.

Whopper, extra pickles, extra onion.

Though sometimes with the 'extra onion' you run the risk of getting like...too much onion, especially if you get some of the gnarly outter ring poo poo. I wish the employees would ditch that garbage, but I mean, what do you expect really, right?

i used to have a burger king within walking distance of a house i lived in and like a good goon i got lunch for breakfast. they had a thing called the "king's meal deal" that you got to get 2 of their small sandwiches, small fries and small drink for like $4.30 tax included. this was peak living

Things I consider when "having it my way":

-I had the Big King and it was a Big Disappointment. I'll stick with the Whopper no onion no tomato- the truth is nothing can step to a Big Mac.

-No matter how quick I eat em out of the bag, the mozza sticks are always solidified, never stringy as they should be.

-What I wouldn't do for a Jamocha shake.

-The one near me must have actually cleaned their fryer or something because the fries have been excellent last few times I've gone- crispy, cooked properly, and best of all does not have residual Big Fish flavor

I make no custom orders at any fast food place. I can't stand when the person ahead of me takes 5+ minutes because they can't handle a teaspoon of chopped onions. I want to run them over.

It literally takes me 10 seconds.

I always order extra onion, and that's why I think none of them can read. I hardly ever get any onion on my sammitch.

Except for the whopper deal which is like 4 extra words, same here.

HOWEVER I've been ordering pretty much by app lately and then just picking up from wherever, and that lets you customize, let's the workers see your written request rather than shouted at them through a speaker, AND time to make it and you don't hold anyone up just zipping past to grab your poo poo

How does the app ordering pickup work? Do you submit your order at home, then go to the drive thru and tell them you ordered from the app or something?

I'd probably use that since you can get deals sometimes.

BK probably has the worst system, at least at my location. Other apps get your order made after you push the "buy" button but BK doesn't seem to start making it until you pull up to the window and say you're there to pick up that specific order. I made the mistake of ordering a shake and then telling them about my app order at the window and had to drive all the way around and start again. BK does have instant-use coupons but again you have to tell them the numbered code at the intercom; mcdonald's instant-use coupons are a better system because they can scan a QR code.

Jack in the box has the best ordering system since you place the order, then on the next screen you get a big red button for them to actually start making it and you can time it pretty well

Ok so what would I do? Get in the drive thru and wait until, when, to push the order button? Push the button then go to the intercom and tell them the order number? How are other places different?

Just walk me through this like I'm an idiot (I am). I mean not just for BK since you said theirs is different. I just woke up and can't concentrate.

you've got two methods: making the actual order on the app and using an instant-use coupon that doesn't involve paying over the app. both need to be vocalized at the intercom, not the window

Order small onion ring with BBQ sauce for dipping

Order 2 for $5 whoppers minus some toppings (at least no ketchup/mustard, others are optional), add cheese.

Combine into rodeo whoppers???

Is it really a lifehack if you're just taking different steps to create something that's already on the menu

I was going to verify that the rodeo roadhouse whopper or whatever it is is still on the menu but the burger king website wants me to sign in before I can even see what's on offer, lmao. Why gatekeep like that

I just found out they cancelled the dutch apple pie, that makes me upset.

I haven't seen any good coupons for months until recently, their 2 small fries and 2 whopper jr's for 4 bucks are a great value.

Easily the best fast food fish I've had. Gambled on it because the last time I'd tried one it was not so good.

I got the impossible whopper the other day because a lifelong vegetarian friend of mine got it and said it was unimpressive compared to what they expected a whopper to be and tbf that checks out imo. way closer to what you'd get from a college union burger. still bodes well for a meatless future, but the whopper jr was way better

There was no zesty sauce for like... most of this year? Because they ran out before the horseradish harvest or some poo poo?????

I read that in either this thread or this subforum and have no idea if it's true.

I had once and only once, and I have no idea why it happened, a server at Hungry Jacks (Burger King) tell me they were not called Onion Rings anymore they were Hot Rings now.

So I said can I have one Hot Rings and spent the next while wondering if a joke had been played on me or something.

They are definitely still called Onion Rings.

Also, Hungry Jacks has a burger copying the Big Mac called the Big Jack, and a whopper sized version called the Mega jack.



So I guess when people ask what you're doing you can say having a big jack.
