I congratulate you on the thouroughness of your "research". Why did youdo this, are you poor? Cheap? or was it a research project?

While I think your research was well done I almost got sick reading about each of the "meals" youconsumed. Have you ever worked in a fast-food restaurant before? There is a reason why these "meals" are only 99 cents.

While I'm glad to hear that you gained only a few pounds from this effort you do realize that it is not your weight that you should be concerned with ... but the things you cannot see like your blood pressure and cholesterol. If you need a wake-up call go to your local hospital and walk the halls of each ward. You will see what years of abusing your body will do to you.

I've seen my share of death ...

I think you should start a blog. With the ever expanding waistlines of Americans, you seriously could make some money with Google ads. Not a lot of money, but enough to support your 'habit' :)

I agree with the ranking of the Wendy's Double Stack.
I miss the old BK chicken tenders, the oblong ones. They seemed to taste better than these crown shaped abominations.
However, Wendy's has the worst fast food fries.

The Wendy's were I live has been horrible lately. Seems they've gone down hill here. The burgers (double stack too) taste like they have been frozen and reheated in a microwave (crap). The fries are usually soggy and cold. Dave Thomas would be mad!:|
I will pay a few bucks more and go to five guys.

Also Wendy's vs. McDonald's 99c Chicken Sandwiches... I had these two practically every meal when my wife was preggo in the hospital for days. They both have their qualities but Wendy's is chunkier meat and less mayo slopped on. Needed McD's version for a change though. Not too bad.


.99 Deluxe Double Stack
- They were up to $1.29 but are back at a buck. My favorite dollar burger hands down. delicious and good sized.
agree on this, except ours isn't deluxe. ???

Those are good for variety once in a while... but you can't beat 3 burgers and fries for $4 either. Both yum.

Right now it's 9am and I feel like some Taco Bell or McD's burgers already.

I remember when tacos from taco bell were 69 cents and would go on sale for 39 cents on sundays. Now it is $1 for a little shell, with a little meat and 5 shreds of cheese with shredded lettuce.

Agree with the Chinese food though, had it yesterday for lunch. $5 for a sitdown meal, large portion and was far quicker then Mickey D's or Wendy's.

Mickey D's used to have the best fries either, until they took out the beef flavor additive, now they taste like cardboard.

Yeah, I remember when they'd have crunchy tacos for .29 and soft tacos for .39

Is this what it's like to get old? :(

I was recently blindsided by the crown shaped "chicken". It was horrible, I couldn't finish the last one.

What about the Taco Bell Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito, or the Fiesta Potatoes?! They don't have those where you live?

Because he eats fast food for lunch? :confused:

B/c he has shitty eating habits.

The fact that he eats fast food for lunch means he also eats "shitty" dinners? :confused:

When did he mention he was eating that crap for lunch? Did you see the time of his post and read the second to last sentence in his post?

It's funny how people have dramatically different tastes in french fries. My preferences are exactly the reverse order:

QueBert:
1. BK
2. Wendy's
99. McDonald's

Me:
1. McD's
2. Wendy's
99. BK
