So I had the $1 double cheeseburger that Burger King is being sued over

Went to Burger King today craving something greasy and bad for me, which I don't normally do, but every now and then I'll indulge a bit because I eat pretty healthy most of the time.

I always order from the value menus to limit portion sizes, anymore. I was looking at the value menu with indecision, and the clerk mentioned they have a $1 double cheeseburger (but its not on the menu). So I ordered one along with a small onion rings.

Got home and was surprised at how generous the beef patties were. I'm an experienced value menu eater so I know what the competition offers on their $1 menus. This was definitely more generous than I've ever seen for a $1. Even Jack-in-the-Box raised the price of their Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger to $1.20 (around here), and it has less beef than BK's.

Then I remembered...a couple months ago I read an article/news blurb about Burger King franchise owners suing Burger King because they were losing money on one of the $1 menu items. I thought, could this be it?

Yes it is!

I can actually understand their point now. Nobody else offers a cheeseburger this generous for less than $1.40, maybe even $1.50.

$1 is still to much for the poop sandwiches they serve at bk.
 
Once a few months ago, I fasted for a day and ordered 20 of those things. Best 22 dollars I spent in my life 😛
 
Definitely the best dollar burger as far as quantity goes. They're still the worst 'health' wise but if you're eating dollar menu burgers the health part is not something you're worrying about.

Hmmm....pretty sure I established this somewhere within the first 10 words of the first sentence. Could have sworn I said something like...

"craving something greasy and bad"

Now, don't you think your post was just redundant after that?

how bad is quite relevant.

So you're saying I should order the full sized 2000 cal menu items? 😵
 
Wow $1 is pretty good for a nice burger. Near $5 here from pretty much any fast food place.

We don't have BQ here, but this thread made me hungry for a baconator. Mmmmmmm

you don't have sales tax where you come from?

Oh, ah yeah we do but it's included in prices. It wouldn't be legal for a company to advertise a product at the tax-free rate without being very explicit about it. And no one does, they advertise the price that the consumer pays.

I don't get why they don't do that here. I would love to be able to see a price posted up, and actually pay THAT price. Don't have to worry about having enough, if paying with cash for a few items.
 
Dammit, I wish there was a Burger King nearer to me. It's probably for the best though, as I'd otherwise likely go there a bit too often.
