Sample too much of the product much?
 

I was watching TV adding some more rot to my brain and it became commercial time. A "Wendy's" commercial came on and it showed "Wendy" when she was, ironically, a "little" girl. Then it flashed forward to view the present woman that she is today. I Laughed Out Loud (LOL), and then I Rolled On The Floor Laughing (ROTFL). I guess it's not that funny, as obesity in America is a serious epidemic, but I just found it comical. I very rarely eat fast food, and I do have a very ill sense of humor, but am I wrong in saying that perhaps "Wendy" shouldn't be the spokesperson for her inheritence? I mean, tobacco products have labels on them that say things like, "Warning: this product may cause cancer". Shouldn't fast food have labels that read something like, "Warning: this product is NOT a good source of anything and could cause heart congestion and irregular blood sugar levels".

I lol'd when she said hungry.

whata bunch of ahose shit. im ean c'among have you all not had taht steak xl braurger bualls hit from fucking burger aking?????????????

the apoint is that is italsed luike ASS

So far the courts haven't forced fast food to put those labels on. I guess it was easier to get people to rally behind sticking it to tobacco companies.

I mean shit, I love me some cheapy fast food burgers but I treat them like I'd treat any non-nutrient substance. Eat rarely, don't expect much.

whats funny is I saw that ad for the first time last night and said the exact same thing ot my wife.

If I do the fast burger and fries deal, I choose "5 guys Burgers and Fries".

have you had elevation burger? it's the y8s approved food quality version of 5 guys.

there looks to be one not too far from you in the providence town center maybe?

Five Guys = greasiest shit I've ever had, bar none. I have never had a bacon cheesburger with more liquid death dripping from it than the one I had there. Tasted okay though. For the common FF burger joints I prefer Wendy's over McD's or BK. Rather go to Chipotle or Chik-Fil-A or Quizno's but they're not everywhere.

We got one here in Carlsbad recently. Amazing stuff.

It reminds me a lot of In-n-Out from a thematic standpoint, and while the burgers are similar in quality, I definitely prefer Elevation's fries.

Me too.
MD's chicken fingers < Wendy's chicken sandwich < Chick-Fil-A, best chicken ever.

while elevation started here in Northern Virginia, it was inspired by In 'n Out. The guy who started EB was a Cal Poly SLO grad. also apparently he's a big meat lover.

The point of EB is mostly to make a (relatively) inexpensive product but using known quantities for ingredients. local, grass-fed, organic beef and the like. Single source for ingredients is huge when you compare it to the million-cow-blend of the large chains--what's that adage: a drop of sewage in a barrel of wine makes a barrel of sewage? After living with a food production expert for several years, I can absolutely appreciate that.

I met Hans once in his first store. Nice guy. Likes U2--which I think led to the name of the place as well as that of the Vertigo burger (as many patties as you want).

I wouldn't have an issue with Five Guys if they didn't smash the burger after they wrap it.

Not sure what I was trying to say here but I think it's regarding this:

These things are so gross. I watched a friend eat one and his face went numb.

I think that happened to the guy that did "Supersize Me." People are nasty.

In 2 weeks she could look like this :)

old video, no fancy Coke Freestyle fountain .

Pretty much every drink I've ever had out of one of these things has given me either a headache or the shits. I think there's something weird going on up in the syrup nozzles.

This reminds me of a story the local news did about how some families are struggling to afford food. One of the couples they interviewed was obese. I couldn't stop laughing!

it's because poor people "live" off cheap food. there's a difference between well-fed and morbidly obese because you eat a $1.25 box of Lil Debbie cakes for dinner three nights a week.

I love how they tried to portray the fat people as starving.

no way dude, they are so good. You can make vanilla root beer for crying out loud. They have freaking Peach Fanta!!!! and Purple Drink!

It's on par with the syrup ratio of Bodo's Bagels in Charlottesville. Best fountains ever.

maybe it's because I always try to make a fruity Sprite combo.

maybe. i just use the cherry booster and make a Sherly Temple.

maybe it's


because diabeetus.

when you were a kid, would you mix all the sodas together and call it a "murder"?

i would call it awesome.

Corn subsidies are the primary reason that poor people can afford to be obese.

We called it a suicide.

the dollar menu is fucking bomb. You can has so many foods for so little monies.

with the way fast food "meal" (I'm using the term meal loosely here) prices are these days, the dollar menu is the only thing keeping them alive; I don't think I know anyone who orders combos anymore.

We called it Swamp Water.

I eat at a fast food place maybe once a month. This month I tried the California Whopper. IDGAF, that was delicious. If I didn't absolutely despise fast food I'd probabaly eat one everyday.

Elevation Burger Coffee milkshake with Oero + Kaluha = BAD ASS Dessert.

I dunno. Five Guys is OK...but Whataburger is much better. But with no WBs around here, the best fast food burger I enjoy is at Rush's when I go to South Carolina.

Red Robin just opened up near my this week. I'm goin there in a few minutes to grab lunch. You guys dig Red Robin?

Red Robin is okay. I almost always get the Whiskey River Chicken Burger and about 1,500 fries.

apparently red robin uses no additives in their meat but it still comes from the mysterious million legged cow part.

Just got back from Red Robin.
My wife and I went there because it just opened, so we thought we'd give it a try.
What a waste of time.
I had a burger which was decent, but nothing to brag about. She had some kind of chicken sandwich, and we both had the bottomless rootbeer floats.
$26.xx was our bill.
I shoulda crossed the street from Red Robin and went to 5 guys, better burger for less money. Red Robin was packed, and every waitress in there (there was like 30 of them) looked to be 16. The music selection sucked too. How does a station go from Katy Perry to George Thorogood?
Sorry Red Robin, nice try though.
They should've put an Olive Garden in there instead. Within 300 yards is Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, and 5 guys. How many burger joints did they think Cabela's traffic would need?

sounds like red robin.

Yeah, it's definitely the same concept. Small menu, high-quality fresh ingredients. I just wish they'd have adopted In-n-Out's technique of assigning a unique number to each order, rather than asking for your name. Do you know many people there are named Joe in just a single restaurant? I've gotten into the habit of giving the name "Donner" at restaurants.


The Vertigo is a direct knock-off of one of the Secret Menu items at In-n-Out. For years, people have been ordering 2x4s, 4x4s, etc. The record, allegedly, is a 100x100 ordered by a fraternity, though the official policy now caps burger size at 4x4 due to abuse.

Here's a 20x20 from before that rule went into effect:

They have those fountains at some of the smaller food courts at the Atlanta airport (eg: the ones with Burger Kings) and for whatever reason, they seem to confuse the customers so badly that they have an employee who just stands next to the machine and helps you dispense the product.

I do like that they allow a much larger variety to be offered.




Now, shocking news from the Fast Food universe.

Several months ago, I was driving from Birmingham to Orlando. Somewhere along the way (I can't remember what state I was in) I stopped for gas and went into the McD next door. Ordered an Angus Deluxe, which seemed like the least offensive thing on the menu.

The burger I received actually looked like the picture on the menu! Seriously, it took me a moment to actually realize it, but the bun was not squashed, the ingredients were not hap-hazardly tossed on... This was the first time in all my life that I can recall receiving a fast-food product which actually bore a strong likeness to the picture of the product in the advertising material!

And what was even more surprising was that it was tasty. Definitely not In-n-Out tasty, but it was neither overly greasy nor overly dry, it wasn't slathered with some horrible sauce, all of the veggies on it were fresh and crisp. It just blew my fucking mind.

I really like the Angus Deluxe.

Most middle lower (low working class) fat/poverty stricken people are malnourished. Cheap foods, while abundant, lack the nutrients of their genetically unaltered predecessors. Processed foods compound the nutrient lacking problem.

The aforementioned 100x100. It is real.
