Burger King. The fries are better, you can usually convince yourself the burgers actually have real meat, and they have nice chocolate pie desserts.

If I'm actually eating fast food, its pretty clear quality is already out the door, so its really a matter of which one I encounter first. That tends to be McDonalds, there aren’t too many Burger Kings near me.

Burger King - because their burgers actually taste like what I imagine a burger would taste like.

McDonalds fires are nice but waaaay to much on the unheatly side, I used to spend some time at a Mcdonalds(Note the Absance of work, I bugged somone who acutal worked there) and say it largly depends on where you go

For example

GOOD McDonalds Inculde
All Airport Versions
Ones RIGHT next to High-way offramps but having nothing behind them
The Ones in Super-wallmarts

BAD ones to avoid like the Plauge
Ones not right off the highway or in the middle of a City Community
Those South of the Border


No real rules for Burger Kings, Some good some bad but McDonalds are very much a good or a very bad

Also if the manager is over 60 run like Hell, Those are the guys who never see the nose-picking teens in back and fire them

That one applys to all fast food chains

i only get the chicken nuggets at mcdonalds. The tacos at burger king suck horribly. It may be a regional thing to accomodate the high hispanic population in the chicagoland area, but they still suck.

I chose Door #3, but between McD's and BK, I hafta select BK. McD's patties are kinda soft and grainy--not grainy, but I can't think of a word to describe their weird-ass texture--they fall apart in your mouth without you even having to chew them. It's like something you would encounter in an old folks' home, something made for old people to down easily when they're being hand-fed by a nurse's aide. It reminds me of the old Pre-chew Charlie's skit on SNL, a classic bit of Bill and Chevy BTW. Now, I hear they are thinking of fucking around with the fries recipe. WTF for? At least they were decent, if you could get over the fact that this is obstensibly a potato product made with frikkin' beef extract, and with no disclosure to the public made of that little fact. Oh, and you know that little old lady who sued them over their hot coffee burning her bits and pieces? Well, let me first say "yes, I agree she is stupid, I can't comprehend someone attempting to drive with a hot beverage in their lap, that's almost a parody right there." Now that I've said that, I'll add that McD's made a public statement that the reason their coffee is so hot is so they can use less beans. That's right, it's strictly bottom line. Anywhere else, you can get a full-flavor cup of coffee, but not there, because they have to use less grounds. This means that the coffee is something like 165 degrees. I've had breakfast there before where I've ordered coffee, put cream and sugar in it, then eaten my whole breakfast and left before even opening the joe to attempt a first sip, and still scalded my fucking tongue. I can count on my fingers the number of times I've eaten there in the last 10 years, and my issues are the coffee, the burgers, the service, and the chicken nuggets. In other words, just about everything! Like, what the hell did they do to the nuggets? When they were introduced, they had some texture, like BK chicken strips, and you could tell that they were actually derived from some part of a chicken. Something with muscular fiber, something made of meat. Now, what the hell are they? Strange, inflatable grease puffs that do the same as the meat patties and dissolve as soon as they hit your tongue. It's disgusting. Now, the service. I've never seen intelligent, halfway-attractive people behind the counter. But I've worked at McD's, and I know why: because they realize McD's treats employees like shit (another issue for my boycott) and those people, should they ever get desperate enough for a job to get on at McD's, leave anyway, as did I. McD's deliberately schedules shifts so as to minimize people getting breaks and benefits. I defy you to try it.

The last time I went there, in Michigan, was typical of all my other experiences: a Clearasil-slathered fuckface at the counter, subordinate to some obscenely obese "local girl" bursting out of her ugly McD's pants, shirt coming out of the waistband from the strain of too many rolls of fat. This particular instance, I ordered seperate items because I wanted water instead of a pop, so they charged me for the corresponding combo, minus pop, which was more expensive and definitely not what I had ordered. Then the bitch manager has the gall to argue with me, so I took my money and left. McD's is a brain drain on the country. I hypothesize that people who start there in high school can't make enough money to get into college, so they get stuck there and after a few years give up on any aspirations they may have had, or think that they just can't do any better, and so become one of those fat bitter managers. FUCK MCDONALD'S!

Oh, and their shakes are nasty and overpriced too. I can get hand-dipped shakes at the local mom-n-pop, faster and for less money, and have more flavors to choose from.

I like BK much better, but I have not yet tried McDonald's new fries. Still, I think the Wopper(sp) is better than the Big Mac. I hate the special sauce.

Trust me Harry you don't want to know, My tales of Woe and Horror have sent grown men running screaming from the room

A BL double whopper is a substantial burger. The "Big" Mac is nothing of the kind, and tastes even less like real meat than the whopper. Therefore, I go with BK.

Oh hell yeah. There are, however, two things that really bum me out abt BK:

They discontinued the Big King, which I thought was perfect, and the franchises in Seattle all got shut down. I think the franchise owner is going through a messy divorce or something, but whatever it is, that means there's one less alternative to Ronald. I hate that fuckin clown!

One of my friends worked at a KFC a while back, and he had tons of horror stories. Stuff like bloody chicken, chicken that was on the floor, spitting in the chicken, and ummm...how should I say this...bodily fluids on the fries. Believe it or not, some mental nutjob was caught fucking the chicken.

WTF? A chicken? Jesus Christ.

And the worst story I know about was from a friend of mine who worked in McDonalds. It was no where near that bad. All it involved was a pregnant possom that lived behind one of the fry machines, and was delivering babies when it was discovered. The cooks all gathered around and began kicking the thing around the room. While funny, it was also kind of disturbing, in a way. It was still no where near that.

A chicken?!?

*Shudders* Most Unholy Fuck, NEVER repeat that store ever again.

I urge all board members to deal with there local KFC appropriately, one Molotov though every window and a pipe bomb by the gas line.

KFC doesn't even use real chickens. They've been genetically modified to have bigger breasts, and lack beaks. I think they're called animal 42.

ROTFL. That guy was screwing an imitation chicken? That's about as low as it is possible to go.

BK's burgers are much better, and actrually taste real, but McDonalds ha more of the stuff I like, such as the McFlurries, and the fries. However, Wendy's has the best burgers and chicken nuggets.

The Bacon Double Cheeseburger in BK is by far and way the best burger.

But McD's do better milkshakes.
