    Fast food is expensive too. And it’s hurting their sales, and they can’t figure out that they need to slice profits, not the product.

      Burger King is just inedible now. And by that I mean twice now I’ve eaten there, and then within an hour my stomach upset. Then followed by 12 hours of what can only be described as “VIOLENT DIARRHEA”. Yes, all caps, because thats the urgancy that situation called for.

      Two different locations too. Plus the first time I went with a friend, and she got it too. The first time I chalked it off to being that particular location. Then, nearly 8 months later, different location, different city. Same result.

      After that, Burger King is officially just as banned from my diet as taco bell is. Inedible.

        Chipotle is still the king of food poisoning. They have a proven track record in toilet-related war crimes going back many years. Guess I’m adding BK to my no-go list now too.

          Whereas I’ve never had food poisoning in the 10ish times I’ve eaten at Chipotle, Cici’s pizza is 3 for 3 for violence out both ends for me. The third time I was practically fooled into it, but I’d rather just starve next time (there won’t be one).

        Inedible Now? Your same experience was mine over 15 years ago. I was getting stomach pains and shitting really bad every single time I had BK. He’ll even towards the end I couldn’t even swallow a fry. I had started switching to onion rings cause the fries left a wax taste in my mouth after.

        I haven’t had BK since then. 2010 ish. I ended up dropping all fast food after Covid cause the prices just don’t match up with quality anymore.

        I heard a single combo meal at McDonalds clocks in near $20 these days. Fuck that noise. Not for a thin, dry “meat” patty that gets microwaved and then thrown between a pair of bread slices. No sir. No thanks. I rather spend that $20 on take out from a real restaurant.

      Hey buddy, those yachts aren’t gonna buy themselves. What do you expect them to do, live on less?

      It doesn’t help when a good chunk of their customer base still goes on a regular basis. I often see long lines at drive thrus in my area despite combos costing $10+.
