I told a story like this once, and some internet douche went all WELL AKTSHULLY on me and provided links that it takes at least 6 hours for bad food to make you sick.

Not sure if I believe it, but it was done.

Yeah no. For it to make you sick by hitting the digestive tract maybe but the stomach will quite sensibly get rid of poo poo a lot sooner if it's like 'noooope this is going to cause trouble if I let it stay in here'.

I haven't been to burger king in forever, so I put in an order on the app for a whopper.

The line was pretty busy so it took like 10-15 minutes then when I got there they said I still had to pull around and wait. For one stupid whopper. It wasn't even good.

gently caress you, Mr burger king

I haven't ordered a menu # item since they brought that back

rodeo burger

spicy value menu chicken

cup of water

$2 and change. It's like I traveled back in time the mid-late 00s when the McGangBang was under 3 dollars.

At McDonalds I might be tempted to go big and get some fries. But lmao at BK fries. I already got some onion rings on my rodeo burg. I'm all set.

I got the ghost pepper nuggies

they taste like the chicken nugget version of a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich

exactly as I predicted

not actually spicy, but mildly spicy with a good flavor

I am a Ranch Sauce Hater but these nugs belong in that sauce packet, they do not work with any other kind

I used to think Burger King was the best from 2002-2004. But I now often get rough stomach aches uniquely from Burger King so I stopped going many years ago. I recently went back to a Burger King last year and, while I did not get a stomach ache, the food really seemed to have taken a major decline in taste and quality. Everything felt more floppy and less "quality ingredients".

What happened? Or am I just remembering poorly?

(I remember, specifically, the best era of the menu was during the Teletubbies promption back in the late 90s or early 2000s (likely somewhere between 1999-2002) and they served an item called 'Tubby Custard", it was pink and similar to Pudding from a composition/ texture standpoint and I thought it was the most amazing treat. I went after school every day with friends and we would each get a Tubby Custard and play Gameboy. Eventually the item was taken on the menu, but I have never encountered what actual Tubby Custard truly was so I could continue eating it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?)

I used to love the whoppers but that seems to be more a case of being a dumb kid, as a slightly less dumb adult it's always disappointment with the king.

the classic chicken sandwich is the platonic ideal of burger king item

it is like super cheap dollar store chicken nugget meat. the meatpaste is only a vessel that carries the important part

so greasy that when you bite into it, it squirts out and will ruin your work clothes

but also it's crispy, and salty. so loving salty

food to captivate the lizard brain that controls your gross motor skills and your basest, most instinctual urges for satiety

put it in you'are mouth

I just got an ad for something called the Frankenwhopper, which appears to be a bunch of random poo poo (fries, onion rings, etc) on a Whopper. Talk about just giving up, BK.

I would destroy a garbage plate whopper w/ home fries, mac salad, baked beans, fries, mustard, onions

I would also destroy a poutine whopper with fries, cheese curd, and gravy.

The only thing I don't like about those ideas is that it includes fries, and BK fries are trash

Do the above recipes but with BK onion rings instead of BK fries and hell yeah dude

yeah I was spitballing a sex word that started with tele- to finish up that joke remembered Teleporno. Which kind of sounds like buongiorno. Ergo, gelato teleporno. And it even links back to tubbie custard as gelato is a creamy dessert item!!

Thanks for coming to my post making TED talk.

They definitely had their heyday back in the era of the stacker debut, the tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch, and crazy promotions like the shaq pack. They’ve fallen off hard when it comes to innovation, marketing, and quality.

Edit: Five Guys taking the crown for best whopper is also a serious blow.

Has anyone had their fish lately? I remember it being pretty okay but if it followed the same trajectory as the rest of the menu is probably repulsive now.

My wife still gets one occasionally, but requests a whopper bun with sesame seeds instead of the standard bun and extra tartar sauce. I have taken a bite or two and it seems like it is the same thing as I remember from years ago. I think it used to be called The Whaler before changed to the BK Big Fish. That name probably wouldn’t hold up these days.

All of my local BK franchises now operate from 10AM-4PM due to the staffing apocalypse. Meanwhile the Taco Bell down the road is offering $20/HR starting wages and a free iPhone to work the late shift, and seems to have no problem staying open until at least 2AM. Something tells me Burger King isn't long for this world, at least in my little corner of NE Ohio.

his face gives me the idea that slightly off-camera a gun barrel is aimed at his head

whether it is a literal gun or the metaphorical gun of "my income and overall welfare depend upon social engagement metrics" is irrelevant.

Dude got a gun to his head. You don't make that face when eating a fast food chicken patty because you wanted to.
