Technico Support Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) On 7/24/2024 at 11:20 PM, Octopus said: So I had a resent resurgence of thought towards this. McDonald’s had the Angry Whopper a looong time ago and it was a game changer. Then when they stopped I was mainly a spicy chicken sandwich guy. But a year or two ago I rediscovered how great Quarter Pounders were. So for a bit it was McD’s. Now I’m a bigger fan of the Whopper though. Burger wise, Burger King. Also shake wise, Burger King. I like their Oreo shake. But Fries and practically everything else, McDonalds. The breakfast food is better and their app is far superior. But the Whopper is my favorite right now. I don’t have a Costa near me. I’m guessing Coffee? In Minnesota the battle is between Starbucks and Caribou Coffee (big in the state chain). I’d say if I’m just getting an espresso type drink, Starbucks. Caribou can be more sweet (but I’ll add more espresso to even it out). Caribou has a better wood and rustic ambiance and better much breakfast sandwiches. In fact, I usually order a cold press with an extra shot of espresso and oatmilk with a sausage & cheese biscuit. I’m going Caribou!!! McD’s switched to fresh beef instead of frozen for Quarter Pounders a little while back, which really improved the taste. I’m still more of a Whopper guy (no mayo, no tomato) but both BKs near me suck. On 7/25/2024 at 11:08 AM, Log said: The McDonald's app is pretty great. Top-tier fast food app. That's a low bar, but you actually get some good rewards from McD's. It honestly is the gold standard of fast food apps, no joke.

twiztor Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) @Octo i just read [a headline, not an article] that they're closing [some? all? i don't know] Applebee's locations in Wisconsin, so i hope that is not happening near you. [i have no idea where you are or how widespread the Applebees closing is. maybe i should have read the article after all] edit: i couldn't find the article i saw, but there's this one: https://khmoradio.com/wisconsin-applebees-restaurant-closures/ also, this is unrelated but hilarious: https://www.firesofheaven.org/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.scored.co%2Fpost%2Fj8eEBSt2QpQZ.jpeg&hash=1e682528dcbf7e1ccc37eb2a98ae8d5e Edited August 3 by twiztor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is an anti-pickle person, and it's one of the foundations of our marriage. gotta love getting that wife leftovers the flip side to it though is that when you get a snack and they say they’re good they then want some. It’s the cosmic handoff for extra pickles. On 7/26/2024 at 9:54 PM, Curt McGirt said: and yes I love Arby's unconditionally. Arby’s is underrated. I don’t understand the hate. I’m guessing it is location-based. The jalapeño poppers, Motz sticks, and curly fries are top tier sides/ apps. They have good chicken sandwiches too. On 7/26/2024 at 9:57 PM, Curt McGirt said: Well I'll be damned, I look up at the TV and they have a new Fiery menu at BK. You might want to check it out. they had a ghost pepper one recently that was good. The best part of the Angry Whopper was the sauce though. It was orange like Good Burger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I say despite my not being able to enunciate exactly what they do differently there. And I find it interesting to see pineapple identified as a "wacky" topping and associated with California. Are Hawaiian pizzas not a popular thing down in the States? Hawaiian pizza is kind of like Guy Ferrari and Cold Play. It’s made fun of more than it deserves very fun shirts. I had a video shoot a few weeks ago and we got a few pizzas. One was a very good Hawaiian.

I can’t blame them for being born there with all the serial killers and drunk Packer fans. If Applebees wanted to pull out of Wisconsin, I wouldn’t blame them but those poor souls would have no other choice but to clog their already cheesed up arteries with Culver’s for every meal. Don’t get me wrong, I like Culver’s. But a poor soul can’t eat a Butterburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I walked straight out of Culver's once due to the color scheme. It was so sterile it was creepy and I just got weirded out. Arby's is like Spirit Airlines on the Late Show but they had some current cool due to their Twitter, until Musk and the crazies killed all that.
