Burger King...

Alianora La Canta · Post by **Alianora La Canta** » 08 May 2010, 17:52

My most convenient branch of Burger King gets confused when I ask it for milkshakes. Sometimes it gives me milkshake and sometimes it gives me ice cream. Occasionally it gives me nothing at all because they stop serving milkshakes after a certain time (which is before college finishes).

I confess to not having tried either their burgers or their fries.

Ive seen this character in the adverts a few times and frankly it scares the shite out of me.

It looks like some sort of Dr Who villain

OK, if you've told us you've never been in a Burger King, I could still understand you (after all, I don't have a Facebook yet...), but if you're telling us you've been in a Burger King only to order milkshakes, you deserve this...

While the burgers may be of superior quality to that of its rivals, as far as i'm concerned their cataclysmically over priced

Personally, i like gherkins and ketchup already on my burger, one of the most difficult think i have ever had to so is put ketchup from a lousy little sachet that didn't open properly on a whopper, while holding several heavy bags in a cramped outlet at a station on a small shelf in the store because there was no-where else to do it

I will avoid the franchise when possible, but i am glad to see the logo, albeit however temporary its presence is, on an otherwise featureless while car

Yeah, but what else apart from that? I hope that he was at least rewarded with a Big Mac for that.

You shouldn't put crap into your burger, it isn't healthy. Don't see why you wouldn't want ketchup in there. I have no idea what a gherkin is, I assume it's a subrace of gremlins, who make malfunctions happen in your burger.

Based on your earlier posts, I assume that you are a Finn, too. Gherkin is known as maustekurkku (lit. translated spiced cucumber) in Finnish, although many seem to think that the cucumber you find in McDonald's burgers is suolakurkku (lit. translated salted cucumber), a Russian/East European form of pickles known for its high salt content, but that's false.

Again, we have made this topic to go completely off topic. So let's quit talking about cucumbers soon enough, mmkay?

Actually, it went from fast food sponsorship to fast food. We managed to stay on track for quite a while.

IHOP is the cure to world hunger. Dirt cheap and you get a kilo of pancakes. If only the rest of the world shared the love of Maple Syrup that my home does.

There is a very simple reason for my not ordering food in Burger King (well, two since I decided to see what all the fuss was about yesterday):

1) I really like milkshakes, the McDonald's ones aren't quite as good (and cost more, though they do at least sell me a milkshake every time I ask for one) and the specialist milkshake places charge an absolute fortune.

2) Having now had a full meal in a Burger King, I've decided their fries are too greasy and burgers too small (and too greasy) for my taste. I think I'll stick to paninis, sub sandwiches and the like. The fact that they gave me a massive book of food vouchers implies to me that management is somewhat aware that they are having trouble getting people to eat their food twice without quite grasping why.

Alternatively, you can try doing ice-cream milkshakes with a mixer yourself. With some syrup and cream, they're really good, methinks.

Why are the apple turnovers from McDonalds so bleeding hot when you get them? That shouldnt be allowed.

I could - if anyone was daft enough to trust me within 10 metres of a mixer!

Disapointing on both counts. I wonder why Sauber are having such problems getting a sponsor deal, surely you would just lower the price until someone is interested (I would advertise on the Sauber if I could afford it) because some money is better than none.

Somewhat true, but you have to remember last year Brawn went through the same problem, despite leading both Championships from the start. Unfortunately, not every company seems to be ready to shell out at this moment.
