I like the human hamster cages they put out front.

Dennys, IHOP, Burger King, Dicks are showing a pattern of really idiotic, incompetent, and out of touch executives.

People actually eat that crap?

Fast food - nasty. I prefer getting burgers at old-fashioned diners, where you see it grilled and get all the tasty add-ons to your liking. To me, In-N-Out has no appeal, the burgers are bland. I won't even mention McD's, yuck. Burger King is a step up, but not much. Carl's Jr makes a decent burger. 5 Guys is okay. Nation's is pretty good. But an old-fashioned hole-in-the-wall diner beats them all. Fast food is fast garbage to me.

This "pink tax" seems bogus to me.

A couple years ago I went to the drug store to buy a laxative. I looked at the labels for the active ingredient and strength per dose. The generic Walgreens bottle was something like $3 for 24 yellow tablets.

The "pink" bottle, dubbed something like "Walgreens women's laxative" was $2.50 for 30 pink tablets. They were the exact same active ingredient, exact same dosage. But the pink "woman's laxative" was 50 cents cheaper for the same thing, with a bonus of 6 extra tablets.

This is the reverse of what the "pink tax" is supposed to be. In my case it was a "pink" discount. Personally, I don't believe there is such a think as a "pink" tax. Any price disparity is random.

Guilty pleasure I must admit.

I look at a McDonalds every once in a while, just to see if that nasty mcrib is there.

Then I get 2 mcrib sammiches and a heart attack sized fry.

Good for a year.

Unless it’s Del Taco.

I’d marry Del Taco if I could.

I think now I’ll support chicks by taking out Wendy’s and Chick-Fil-A.

Although, can I get my Whopper in a pink box?

When visiting Des Moines a couple weeks ago, my daughter took me to a Be-Bops Burger fast food place, where I got a huge burger and chili-cheese fries. Son-in-law took a look at my meal and asked if I was trying to kill myself. Guilty pleasure, done once-in-a-while but it is heart attack food!

Sure, you just need to tell them you self identify as a chick.

I’ve known women who wear men’s jeans, because the jeans are tougher, safer and longer lasting. Some wear duck weave work pants and men’s duck parkas, because they’re warmer in cold, windy weather.

I must rate Booger King as lowest on my list.
Burgers are always dripping soggy wet, with
inedible chunks of lettuce hulls and
Razor thin sliced Tomato.
The PINK ad campaign is driven by the fact
women hate to eat their SHEET

If a woman is dumb enough to pay more for a “women’s” razor....

A yuge number of women will not buy a product if it does not cost enough to satisfy their opulent sense of self. They pay more tax because they pay more period. How does this awareness campaign hope to change the stuck-up factor of the distaff part of humanity? How much Chanel Number Five would a woman buy at Nordstroms for a dollar ninety five?

Burger King franchises are not held up to the same standards as Mcdonalds. McDonalds is actually very strict, corporate sends folks out to do inspections and if you are a problem child they will pull your franchise license. Burger King is happy as long as the money is coming in.

Re “can I get my Whopper in a pink box?”

Probably if you use KY Jelly or Vasoline!
