Fuck fast foods (and fast fashion and everything related)

There's more but they had to crop out the 1ga bag of fries that they use as insulation for your burger.

I'll agree with that. And they're all so overpriced, I can't afford to eat any of them lol

And too strong opinions on them. How anyone part age twenty or so can have any thought on them besides 'yuck' baffles me.

What blows my mind is that it's all large franchise. We have tons of independant selling various form of fast-food. Stuff like Sandwiches, Pizza, kebap and more. But I can't think about only 2-3 large chain, basically we have Mc-Donalds, Quick, and that's it ? or may-be burger kind did a comeback last years, not even sure...

What really amazes me is that, that's not all of them

I was pretty sure most of them were made up. I hope this crap never makes it over here

lol at the attempted superiority

Trillion dollar market

Literally the largest restaurant chain in the world

Still enough market demand for dozens of other restaurant chains to complete

I'm guessing that you're some combination of "not poor" and "not from the US."

I'm no longer poor, but I do travel through the continental US on a regular basis. Even though my workplace reimburses me for food when I travel and budget doesn't enter into the equation, I eat fast food fairly frequently.

Scenario A) I've been though a series of planes, airports, and rental cars for the last eight hours. I'm in central Iowa, I've just checked into my hotel, and there's a major winter storm 30 minutes away. Non-fast food takeout isn't an option because this town has 20,000 people in it and I would need to travel for an hour to find a larger town. I could find a nice local restaurant, but there's an Arby's that's a block away from my hotel. Since my priorities are 1) putting some warm food into my face, 2) not driving through snow, and 3) going to sleep, it's Arby's.

Scenario B) I'm driving back home from Chicago, which is about a 7-hour trip by interstate highway. I'm in the scary part of Indiana when I realize that I'm hungry and still hours away from civilization. Food options are a) fast food and b) truck stop food. That last option is basically "unknown fast food with an unreadable label that's been sitting in a heated tray for 4 hours."

Scenario C) I'm in a small southern city that I've never visited. My plane was delayed and my luggage is lost. The rental agency couldn't find the car that I had reserved, so I'm driving a lifted pickup through dark and unfamiliar streets. By the time I finish shopping for some basic overnight things (deodorant, hairbrush, underclothing for the next day), it's 9:45 and most nearby restaurants are closing. Five Guys is a block from the hotel and because they close at 10, I can either choose that or try finding and walking to a restaurant that's open later.

Those are all examples from this year. Basically, takeout options outside of major cities are horrible. In small cities, most places - if they even exist - close earlier than fast food chains. If I have the time and energy I'll absolutely find the nicest local restaurant and enjoy some regional cuisine. And under normal travel circumstances, that's exactly what I do. But sometimes you just need to put warm food into your mouth and get to sleep.

What, you think you're better than me? Nobody's better than me! Hahaha

God no. Belgian frites are in another league!
