Burger King has unleashed an absurd new weapon in the fast-food wars

Back in 2006 I was in Nongbualamphu Thailand for 3 weeks. I really like Thai cuisine, but was really happy to find a BK in the Airport in Bangkok. After three weeks of good food I needed a greasy sloppy BK cheeseburger or two.

Fresh out of the fryer!

Yuck! That rates right up there with the Halloween tire black bun they tried to push last year. About as appetizing looking as a tire too.

Should put Glenn's face on it

I just have a hard time with some of this "new stuff".

I miss the old... 2 CBKO's and a large fry.

[Bullish]

Why not? Nothing else is edible at BK either.

I would rate Burger King near the bottom but interestingly the best hamburger I ever had was from one.

It has been maybe 20 years tho.

BK’s food is crap! But then again, isn’t most fast food?

...The Whaler was delicious. I didn’t know they stopped making them...

Probably fell for libs calling the name of it Politically incorrect. You’re right. They were very good.

I was in Thailand for six months! Nongbualamphu, I remember her! Had to get shots, but it was worth it.

First thought: disgusting

Second thought: capitalism, let the consumer decide if they are a hit or not

because there are people who will eat the hell out of these things, until their heart blows up in their chest.

“It took me for-EVER to get myself off of the Filet-O-Whatever-Kind-of-Fish-This-Is sandwich at McDonalds.”

I like the McD fish sandwich also, but eat them only occasionally. Just often enough to realize they keep getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller...

This generation of product development guys must be trying to outdo the Whopper-scented cologne

I don’t know what is going on with BK. Went by the other day to try their new beef fajita and saw they put pickles on it. Disgusting,

This is disgusting

[submarinerswife]

I know! That is all I eat there.

I was in Bahrain for a year, when they opened a McD’s there, the first day they opened we stood in line so I could get a fish sandwich and fries.

I felt like I had been on a desert island without a fish sandwich for a year. Because I actually was.

Ha, ha, dear, I know, I KNOW! Those Filet O’ Fish are the BOMB but they want $3/apiece for them here in NW Ohio! I’m too cheap to spring for that but once a year or so...And I have to have two, ya know. Oink! ;)

Whataburger...Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!

[upchuck]

These things are $.32/each. Pretty expensive for a fancy french fry. Think I’ll eat regular fires with a bag of Cheetos. Much cheaper. And I get to pick the flavor of Cheetos.

However, I’d pretty much trade Beau for a loaf of good Sourdough these days! ;)

Just FYI. If you are not eating bread because of the proteins, and the high glycemic load, you may be interested that *real* sourdough bread is quite healthy. The problem is finding real sourdough bread. Most is just ordinary white bread with citric acid added. Even most sourdough bread that is actually fermented is not fermented long enough to get rid of all of the bad stuff. But some bakeries do sourdough correctly, and may be a good option. Certainly better for you than regular bread (whole wheat or otherwise).
