My girlfriend is terrified of the burger king and I think he is kinda creepy too.  Imagine raising your shades and the burger king staring it at you, or waking up and having the burger king in bed with you... Kinda creepy eh....

If you think the Burger King commercials are creepy, you'll probably think these are creepy.  Here are 2 videos I found on youtube of Burger King parodies:

They HAD good ads at one time:

Change IS coming though, so new ads will most likely come to be with a rather upscale feel to them, I'm guessing...

"I'd call it more contemporary, edgy, futuristic," Chairman and CEO John Chidsey told The Associated Press. "It feels so much more like an upscale restaurant."

New Burger King:

(...and does that mean no more dollar menu???)

Unless someone else is paying BK is my choice over McD's. The food is much better at BK. They've improved their fish sandwich. As for McD's, they have 2 things that are really good - The Fish Sandwich and the Chicken Nuggets. Wendy's has good food, but the ones around me can never get the fries right. 99 times out of 100 they're soggy. (Not that I've eaten there 100 times).

Do I think "Booger King" ads are creepy?  No, but that typo sure was hilarious!  Grin

Wendys around me also have soggy fries.  While I prefer crispy fries, in my opinion, they taste better than McDonalds, since McDonalds fries are coated with beef extract at the manufacturing plant for McDonalds, but fried in vegetable oil.  Burger King fries aren't much better.  While their fries aren't coated with beef extract (to my knowledge), most locations fry the french fries in vegetable shortening.  I know this because at my local BK restaurants, after the fryers are cleaned out, they have big blocks of shortening  dumped into the fryers.  The worst fries in my area are at Long John Silvers.  My local LJS locations only have 1 or 2 fryers, and everything is fried in the same oil.  Fish, chicken, hush puppies, and french fries are all cooked in the same oil.  Even the fish & chicken taste nasty being cooked in the same fryer.

They need to bring back The Marvelous Magical Burger King from the '70's, along with The Duke of Doubt, The Wizard of Fries, The Burger Thing, etc.  Cheesy

The worst fries in my area are at Long John Silvers. 


The worst, soggiest fries I've ever had is at White Castle (rest of the food as well as the service is pretty awful too, & they're almost always in bad neighborhoods).  I think that chain is only in Ohio & Indiana.
Agreed on Wendys.  It's been decades since I've been to a LJ Silvers, don't have any around here.


I've always thought McD's has the best fries of any fast food chain.

The White Castle “slider” was born in Wichita, Ks in 1921.  Currently there are franchises in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

The White Castle fries?  Nope.  But nothing beats a bag full of those little square sliders and a Saturday evening in the park.
