The soda and fries won't taste like this again

i too like my soda to be 50% ice

Unironically yes .

McDonald's , bk, and the rest of them include the ice in the syrup ratio. McDonald's Cokes are always fresh and delicious.

McDonald's Sprite is goddamn MAGICAL when you're hungover

Contrary to the guy you replied to's claim though, especially MCD Sprite no ice. I wish they'd bottle that magical elixir.

mate i think youโ€™re remembering a different reality because BK sucks hard and has since the 80โ€™s

Their fries were good as fuck until they ruined them.

While I prefer the flavor of the burgers from BK, I always end up waiting for my order far longer than McDonald's, then the combo of ingredients isn't even warm enough to melt the cheese on the burger (no, I didn't customize it into an abomination, just asked for no mustard.) So while I'd almost prefer it, I don't go to BK except for once or twice a year. Even then, it seems like they're constantly changing the fries that they're serving, trying to hit a sweet spot?

Instead my go to is the Daily Double and small fry from McDonald's.

No way. BK was solid in the 90's.

I can't think of a single chain that was shit at the time. Peak fast food.

I came to the US in 1999 and McDonald's was way worse than abroad

Well, that was already at the end of the 90's, no?

Sure, but I doubt if I came in 1998 it would be somehow amazing and ruined in a year or two

They were good for a brief period when they had those Rocket Power cheese fry things

And you'll never fire up bloodgulch with the boys again.

Joke's on you, I have an OG xbox 15ft from me and hooked up. Has an NES on top of it with Zelda inside rn though.

I remember burger king being better back then too it's literally inedible now, McDonald's and Wendy's and still good though just not as cheap as they used to be. Fuck burger king it's so bad.

And they have the audacity to charge 13-15 bucks for a combo now, at least where I live. Bottom-tier fast food for 15 bucks...

Lmao what the fuck?! I only go because they send me "8pc chicken fries and a medium fry for $3" coupons in the mail, and that's the only edible item (I swear they buy them from sysco and that's why they're ok lol). $15 they can go fist themselves!

Maybe this is just me but I used to LOVE fast food, my fat ass would DoorDash Dairy Queen almost everyday during the pandemic. Ended up gaining 50lbs after I had just reached my goal for losing 100lbs-120lbs. I'm 210 now but I miss being around 170. (used to be 300 a couple years ago)

I can say now that I don't eat fast food or Doordash anymore mostly because I feel like I'm eating micro plastic fake meat (may not be entirely true but maybe you know what I mean)

Quite the opposite in germany. BK has the better burgers and fries, but worse nuggets.

The nuggets in the US from BK might as well be made form plastic

Those were already gross to me. I stopped going to Burger King when they cha get their fries in '98.

I still have my glass Batman Forever mugs.

So do I! I just wish we could jurassic size our fries again!

nor will they ever be that big! can fit at least 2 today drinks in the size of that cup

What would be funny is if a Photoshop master put the fries in the cup, and vice versa.

I remember watching halo tv series. Those ass cheecks are good. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜
