Looking at you five guys.

Story time. We t to five guys, go up to the country asked for a burger combo. Person behind counter says they don't have combos so I have to say out loud: lemme get a burger fries and a coke.

Like I get it but a combo is a burger fries and a coke.

Not cheap, not convenient, not fast, and, let's be real: It's barely food.

A while ago, I was charging at a highway stop, so I decided to quickly get something to drink at McDonald's. I just asked ordered a drink, nothing more. One lady started preparing the drink and put it somewhere behind the counter. I was right there, but she didn't hand it to me. I asked if she could give it, as it was the only thing I had ordered. She mentioned she was not allowed to hand over the order to customers, and she was waiting for someone else who was allowed to. It took roughly 10 minutes before I had my drink, it was very frustrating, especially for a "fast" food chain.

When I was in high school, we'd split a gram of weed four ways and go to Wendy's for the $4.20 meal. For less than ten bucks, you got stoned, a junior bacon cheese, four nuggets, small fry, and a small chocolate frosty. This was in the mid oughts so not that long ago!

The mid oughts was a different world, hundreds of years ago.

If you have a Braum's nearby you can get a bomb-ass burger with two quarter pound patties, crinkle cut fries, and drink or shake for about $9.

But you probably don't have a Braum's around unless you are in the US and in one of like two shithole states.

In my days, you got a week's worth of calories for $3.50

It’s been a long time since fast food was any good. It’s addictive, maybe comfortable, but definitely not good. Break your addiction, especially now that you could save so much money

Me when I go to my local hangry chicken and order the chicken + fries nachos only for them to give me dark meat.

[–] FPSXpert@discuss.online 2 points 6 hours ago

Dark meat at least tastes better and is more desirable where I'm at. Now you just get less meat in general for however much you're spending.

Give it five years and the taco bell quesadilla is probably gonna cost $10 and use the small tortilla instead of the big one. They may have won the franchise wars in fiction but reality is stranger.
