Title: Burger King
Post by: Varche on 30 August 2023, 13:45:02
You know you are old when:

We had to take our dog to the emergency vet hospital in Granada city in the night. After we left him there, we were very thirsty. Couldn’t find anywhere where we could get a coffee. Then we saw youngsters consuming at outside tables at a Burger King. It was still over 33C at 2.30 am.

Pulled over and parked and crossed dual carriageway on foot. Door locked. Must be an outside ordering hatch. Went round the side to see a car being served ….. Long queue. Walked a bit further looking for ordering hatch. Couple of issues. QR code , no menu ( mobile phones in our parked car over the road.  Worse though, the thought of shuffling along from the back of the queue on foot whilst yet more cars joined the queue.

We did the only reasonable thing and left. Still never been to a Burger King.

We did get a decent coffee in a pot cup at a motorway stop ten minutes later.

Burger King has been taken to court somewhere, probably America, on the grounds that their Whopper isn't really a Whopper!  ;D

I quite like a Burger King, if fast food burgers is all that is on offer.  About a million times better than the shite that McDonalds sell.

Double Whopper meal, with strawberry milkshake. Nom, nom, nom.

The Whoppers are certainly smaller than they were. I remember when it was a real challenge to finish a double whopper, and a single one was a decent meal. Now you can inhale either in about 30s flat and still be peckish. ;D

Never been in a burger king & the last McDonald's I had was about 3 years ago, to be honest we'd rather make our own with plenty of fried onions.

I prefer thier fries to the others, saying that the burgers are a lot better and they sell onion rings. ::)

Same here. Swmbo makes her own burgers and they are delicious. Rarely eat take away food and dont eat out much, as the food at home is much nicer and cheaper.
Swmbo needs a break once in a while though, so once or twice a year I take her out.  :D

Significantly so. ;D

But that's not the yardstick I use when comparing burgers.

I used to enjoy a Burger King whopper, but they seem to be pre-pared and microwaved now.

Back in the Y2K hysteria days, when I was doing 7 days a week, 18hrs a day, work would cover some of my meals costs.

So luchtime was often a double whopper meal, with another double whopper on the side, and evening meal would consist of something like Pizza Hut's meal for 2 for me....

I think during that year or so, The ratio between burger size and my size might have changed ;D

I see Burger king, KFC and MacDonalds and the like as a "snack" not a substitute for a proper meal  :P
unless you order several "meals" , as Jamie eludes too   ;D
by the time you've queued and waited, you've expended any energy/sustenance you get from the "meal"
so I don't bother  :D

Especially given the cost nowadays.

I don't think the kids do now. They park in  the carpark, order on the app, its delivered to their space, and when finished, unwind the window and chuck the rubbish on the floor...
