Looks like that clown stayed up late hitting the sauce (bloodshot eyes).

I told her I had a ‘whopper’. She was very disappointed, too.

They should rename it the Buttigieg Bun! I’ll stop here before I say something naughty.

I’m such a “bad boy” - Costello as in Abbott and Costello!

AND LOVING IT!

“If you are going to Arby’s for the fish sandwich you are the problem”

Wrong. They are great, way better than anyone else’s, including McDonalds. I LOVE Arby’s fish sandwiches and now they have a spicy fish sandwich that is out of this world good. Wish I had one this very minute!

I swear whoppers used to be huge...and now look at them....same as Mcdonalds....their big hamburgers are anything but, although I will never eat that crap again, and haven't for several months.......

its hard to find good decent fast food but I do like Panda Express.

Those pictures dont show if the bun size changed. The patty size could have been the same but the bun size was different.

with all due respect to Sir Mixalot, and Dick’s on Broadway

Oh my God, Becky, look at her buns, they’s so big
She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends
Who understands those rap guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute

I mean her buns, it’s just so big
I can’t believe it’s so round, it’s just out there
I mean, it’s gross, look, she’s just so blah

I like big buns and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty, bitty waist
And a round thing in your face

You get sprung, wanna pull up tough
‘Cuz you notice that those buns was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring

Oh baby, I wanna get with ya and take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me but thhos buns you got
Make me so horny, ooh, rumple smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz
Well, use me use me ‘cuz you ain’t that average groupy

I’ve seen them dancin’, to hell with romancin’
She’s sweat, wet, got it goin’ like a turbo vette

I’m tired of magazines, saying flat buns are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

So fellas, fellas, has your girlfriend got the buns?
(Yeah, yeah, hell, yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake thhose healthy buns, baby got back

This has been going on for years. Back in the ‘70s I worked with ad agencies and went to several shoots for hamburger ads. The photographer would often spray the buns with clear lacquer to make them shine and have to change out the lettuce several times because the hot studio lights wilted it. Then the photos were carefully airbrushed and color corrected until the agency got the look they wanted.

EVERYONE knows that the food doesn’t look like the ads - BY FAR. You have to be an idiot to fall for it.

Huh. I just got 2 of the Arby’s fish sandwiches yesterday. (Kinda snap decision family outing, wifey didn’t want to make up a picnic meal at last minute, wanted Arby’s instead, I acquiesced...) Anyway, the Arby’s fish is supposed to look like some sort of fillet, was slightly short of the bun on 2 sides, stuck out respectably far on the other 2, average would be about the same as the bun. Definitely better than McDonalds (at least as of about 6 years ago), better the BK’s now, too (used to be good).

Ok, so I’m down to ~1 fast food sandwich a month now, and, expecting great fast food is sort of a contradiction, maybe I’m not a proper judge.

Truth be told, it seems to me all burger ad pics are “generous”.

Good fish? At the end of our outing I caught 3 trout, took ‘em home, cleaned them (no scaling necessary for ~ 11” trout; leave heads on*), wifey made up Filipina recipe where she fills the gut cavity with salted tomato, onion, a little chopped garlic, a little salt and pepper outside (to taste), wrap with banana leaf, cook over real fire with some hickory branch pieces as part of the fuel. YUM!

*My wife eats the heads, says it’s her favorite part - hahahaha!

Yes, whoppers used to be huge. In ‘73 I was single, eating one meal a day and it held me. Whopper with cheese, apple pie, and soda.

Trust me, about half way through it you’ll be glad it’s not that big.

The Briquet Sandwiches are good too.

Watch out for the ‘foodies’ around here, value signaling about fast food. They can be every bit as disgusting as any other value signaler.

In all honesty, the advertisement buns just look tiny.

That Filipina recipe sounds interesting. Yes the Arbys aren’t bad in taste.
