Ingram85 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Can’t beat BK for me as a mainstream fast food giant. KFC makes me ill. Maccies is just bad. Five Guys are the most tasteless, overrated and overpriced, fries are good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Five Guys is excellent, but it's just ridiculously expensive for what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the refill option 2 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: No. That's a myth. Interesting, as the rumours were you would have deformed chickens but I dont really know what to believe these days.

Tastes good though if it isn't in a oil bath Do you think anyone would actually eat KFC if the reason they had to change the name was they were breeding mutant chickens, so different to real chickens that they weren't legally allowed to call them chickens?! KFC claim they changed the name to get rid of the word "Fried" to make it sound healthier. The real reason, I've heard, is that the state of Kentucky was broke so they trademarked the name. Which meant to keep it KFC would have had to pay a shitload of money. So they took the word out of their name. That might be a myth too, but it's a lot more believable than the mutant chickens Edited February 23, 2018 by Stevo985 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2018 Never set foot in a five guys before. Don’t know how it differs to other fast food restaurants. A quick search suggests that the nearest one to me is a 45 minute drive away, so I won’t be finding out in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Day off and I’ve been awake since 07:45, just can’t be arsed to get out of bed. Got a few things I need to do today but no motivation. Does anyone else spend a long time procrastinating when waking up instead of just shifting yer arse on up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because the don't know why they're so big, and they're going, "Oh why am I so massive?" and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small." 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, go to BK and get a bacon double XL with cheese and bask in its glory. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 23, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yeah I like a BK burger, but can't agree that they're better than Five Guys. Five Guys is a lovely burger, but for the price I want that shit served to me at a proper table in a proper restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) BK is by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar the worst of the fast food places. Never had 5 guys. Edited February 23, 2018 by Wainy316 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2018 I rarely eat fast food these days, but I quite strongly dislike BK, I greatly prefer McDs. Don't give a toss about Pepsi v Coke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I will make an argument for McDonald’s breakfast muffins. The double egg and cheese McMuffin is a god tier breakfast. They have got me through a lot of post night shift journeys home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
