not to trivialize anyone's suffering, but how many orders of cajun rice does a rice cooker, a bag of rice, and whatever reasonably approximates the seasoning cost?

I mean, that depends on an awful lot of things.

Assuming 1 smaller bag of rice
2 peppers
cajun seasoning
ground beef
chicken gizards
Chicken stock
onion
celery
Crystal hot sauce

You're gonna get a helluva lot of servings out of $10-15, more or less depending on what you tweek and assuming you started with nothing at all. You're looking at about 10 cups of of cooked product out of a 2lb bag of rice for that, give or take after adding in your meat and bulk options.

Popeyes po boys are for sure missed. Popeyes also used to have wraps that were chicken and red beans and rice back when those were everywhere and they kept them going locally until like 2019 and they were a nice cheap lunch.

Man, I miss those wraps. I had a Popeye's across the street from college and between morning and afternoon classes I'd go by and grab either two of those and a soda or one and a side and a soda for lunch at least twice a week.

There was also a BK nearby that did $1.00 double cheeseburgers, and if I felt spendy a family owned middle-eastern restaurant/grocery nearby as well. I miss 2009.

This reminded me of a local ice cream company's flavor I had as a kid that I haven't seen in 20+ years

it was dinosaur themed

Distressingly blue vanilla ice cream with malted milk balls (a whopper or malteser with no chocolate shell).

It was delicious and also turned your poop dark green, like a big glob of seaweed washed up on the beach.

mushroom swiss is like one of the standard configurations at a non-fast food restaurant if they serve burgers

seems really strange no chain has made it a permanent item

or maybe one of them did and i don't know about it???

seems like a wendys kind of thing to do

or maybe even an arbys roast beef with mushroom and swiss

its a slam dunk why it don't exist???

I see Sonic commercials all the time despite never living near one. I went to one in Texas once and it was like a 20 minute drive to get there. Got back home and they left out my burger. I was pissed. Haven't been back since. Well, because there isn't one near me.

I usually get a shamrock shake once a year but I forgot. So I am mourning.

What is funny is they dropped it at Carls when they switched to the new thickburgers.

a lot of places have actually switched to using fresh mushrooms. both dominos and papa john's use pre sliced but not cooked mushrooms these days. I've had maybe 50/50 luck with local places though

According to the FDA defect handbook

You can expect to find about 20 maggots and 75 mites in each 100 grams of drained canned mushrooms.

I used to be a vegetarian and gobbled a lot of gross gardenburger whoppers. The burger was called the BK Veggie and about 25% of the time the drive thru kid wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about and I'd wind up with a bun, lettuce, and a lot of mayo. I don't miss that.

i had a friend whose dad worked for a processing plant and he got me hooked up with illegal, unlicensed experimental ice creams. the dilbert double trouble bar, an ice cream bar with a chocolate busicuit bottom and chocochip cookie top. decadent. the cookie was so hard your teeth would sink through the entire ice cream later rather than breaking off in a convenient chunk. no one on the internet believes it existed. only i alone remember, and now you who will remember my rememberings.

It lives again. Ask for it even if it's not on the menu. If a location has onion rings they should be able to.

The Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes are back. As someone else pointed out, so is the Rodeo Burger, though it's cheap and doesn't come with cheese by default. You have to ask for it and they upcharge you.
