Dunno about you guys, but I eat BK semi-regularly, so if there's something wrong with the food, it's not on this end of the world. Although I was in the US a little over 3 years ago and it tasted fine to me.

Unless when you're a kid and see an awesome toy, or you're an awesome person and see a videogame trailer. Burger King's fries really suck IMHO, too dry textured and flavorless. Their burgers are pretty good though. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Aug 20 2011, 11:31 AM.

The Darkness Posts: 1,205 Group: Elite Member #41 Joined: July 12, 2008	I actually like Wendys fries the best ever since they started doing them differently. But I do agree that Burger King actually has some really good fries compared to other places.

Going to answer it, all he hears is "WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW!?"] Seriously, this is sad. While the King was fucking creepy as heck, it was definitely one of the more entertaining mascots.
	--- Quote: Blacklightning Nov 14 2011, 02:48 AM I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem

Can't say I cared much for The King compared to other mascots, let's face it, no one is going to come up with a mascot that can stand up to Ronald McDonald, even though he's all but forgotten now too.

Master Posts: 6,709 Group: Elite Member #83 Joined: September 10, 2010	I like Wendy's and Mcdonald's fries a lot more, sure Mc;s is more soggy, but it has flavor. Wendy's now uses sea salt, which is both healthier than regular salt, and tastes better. But they all have good burgers I think. Burger King might be my fav on the meat side.

Bullshit Patrol Posts: 1,177 Group: Guardian of the Realm Member #48 Joined: October 6, 2008	Burger King, at least the ones around here, dominates with Breakfast but lacks the man-sauce to keep up with the burger side, just something about the prices versus quality. At least in my area.
