    They aren’t my favorite but I started going there regularly after this:

    Might be a country by country thing, but in the UK a burger king whopper is genuinely not a bad burger for the price

    I actually find myself seeking one out on occasion

      My only issue with BK is you can burn hours later and it still tastes like BK. It was good when I ate it, but gross hours later.

      Something weird about that flame grilled flavor

        I have the same issue. I think they add the flame grilled flavor through the magic of additives and it probably flavors your stomach for hours

      Yes. Americans somehow managed to fuck up multinational chain brands. I don’t know how, they basically invented them.

      Disclaimer: I’ve never had one, it’s just every single American friend I have comments about how McDonald’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Coca Cola, etc. is better in Mexico.

      It’s definitely a country by country thing. BK in Mexico is (or at least was when I lived there) pretty awesome. BK in the UK also pretty decent. BK in Canada is garbage.

    Maybe 1998 Burger King. Possibly even 2004. But current Burger King is soggy bullshit that you’re lucky of it’s even warm.

      Why? It’s relatively cheap and tastes good. Well, as long as you’re not in the US it seems.

        Yeah, I think it’s an issue with the franchisees in the US. I give mine another try about once a year, and the past three times my burger patty has been below room temperature, and the produce noticeably old. The McDonald’s near me is just consistently mediocre, which is better.

        I’m from the UK and it’s not the worst fast food I’ve had. KFC is the really fucking dire brand here.

    I like the whopper (when they don’t overcook the meat or use wilted veggies) but that’s about all I’ve ever gotten from them.

    Jokes aside, I prefer Burger King to McDonalds, and I think it’s because McDonalds came under a lot more scrutiny in my country and had been forced to tone down their menu and marketing. Maccy D’s were the ones who rapidly expanded in the UK and also made bank from Happy Meals and the child market, so of course they’d have all eyes upon them.

    McDonalds are trying to make their menus and advertising appear healthier, whereas BK are like “look at this sexy dripping quarter pound whopper, you know you want it you fat fuck!”

    And that’s why I can order a Bacon Double Cheeseburger XL from my local BK and feel like I’m actually eating a burger, whereas the equivalent in a McDonalds costs 30% less but is half the size, doesn’t taste flame grilled and looks like it was rapidly cobbled from preprocessed shit that’s less than 32% meat.

    You want the best burger you can get for the cheapest price?

    You go to in-n-out

      That burger in Iron Man definitely should have been In-n-Out to be believable, no 00s hip LA playboy billionaire would have settled for anything less and Burger King in there was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

      Here’s how the scene should have played:
      Tony Stark is late for the press conference because there was a long line at the In-n-Out on the way from the airport, even though there were only a couple of cars in line at the BK across the street, BK was not an option!
