I could manage that in a day. A little for breakfast, go for a run, half of the rest for lunch, take a nap, eat the rest for dinner.

Does McDonald's Food Not Rot?
A Facebook post claimed a six-year-old Happy Meal "didn't rot," but that phenomenon is in no way exclusive to McDonald's food.www.snopes.com
I see. So the reason why some of what I saw, which looked almost in pristine condition, just hard as a rock, were simply left out to the exposed air, eventually drying the food out.
How's the McRib?

I've never had Little Caesar's pizza since the 90's, I'm curious if it's totally different now from the Little Caesar's pizza of the 90's in terms of flavor(cheese, dough, sauce, etc) or if it's the same recipe.
Anyone who has tried both know?

Here's an article about this thread's patron saint.
On this day: KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders passes away
December 16: Colonel Harland Sanders lost his battle with leukaemia on this day in 1980, leaving behind a global restaurant franchise that he had grown to despise.
Sanders was affectionately known as ‘the Colonel’ after being awarded Kentucky’s highest honour – the title of Kentucky Colonel – in 1935, despite not serving in the military.
Born in Henryville, Indiana in 1890, Sanders worked a string of oddjobs (including a stint as a steam engine stoker, and as an insurance salesman) during his early career before finding success selling fried chicken from a roadside restaurant in 1930.
Over the next nine years, Sanders developed his patented recipe for chicken, which he kept a secret until 1952, when he sold his first franchise to a restaurant in Salt Lake, and Kentucky Fried Chicken was born.

The franchise grew rapidly, hitting 600 locations by 1963 and becoming too big for Sanders to manage alone.
In 1964 he sold the business to a group of investors for $US2 million (about $24.1 million in today’s currency).
As part of that deal, Sanders was to be paid a lifetime salary and his likeness used as the business’ trademark.
This deal set the stage for an eventual showdown between the Colonel and the adoptive parents of his hand-reared empire.
Cooking up trouble
Sanders proved a deft hand with the media and, with the guidance of an adviser, was able to increase his status from minor celebrity to a national icon, helping establish Kentucky Fried chicken as a leader in the booming fast food industry.
But all the while the new owners of the company were looking for new avenues to increase their profits, from changing the recipe to introducing new products, and none of it sat well with Sanders.
The recipe for the gravy served in the franchise’s growing network of restaurants was reportedly a major source of consternation for the Colonel, who considered the cheaper, faster-cooked recipe introduced by the new owners to be an unacceptable replacement for his own.
In some instances, Sanders was known to visit unsuspecting stores to sample the gravy, and if his high standards were not met, berate those responsible.
“My god, that gravy is horrible,” Sanders was quoted saying in the Louisville Courier-Journal; a remark he was promptly sued for.
Then, in 1974, Sanders and his wife filed a $US122.39 million (roughly $928.6 million in 2019 terms) against packaged food and drink company Heublein, Inc (which bought KFC from the investor group in 1971).
The suit alleged Heublein had interfered with the couple’s plans to build their restaurant chain, and was misusing Sanders’ image to sell products he had never been connected with.
That misuse, the suit claimed, would cause “the general public to erroneously believe that said products originate from and are the result of the quality control and supervision of, as well as having the personal endorsement of” the Colonel.
Then in 1975 the case was settled, with Heublein paying the Sanders’ a $US1 million ($7 million today) settlement, continue his annual salary, and – perhaps most importantly – take his advice on cooking.
Five years later, Sanders was diagnosed with leukaemia and shortly afterwards died.
For the last 20 years of his life, he was never seen in public wearing anything but the white suit he was known for.
KFC’s successes continued and the company spread globally – even becoming the first western franchise to open in China.
The business now has more than 22,000 stores worldwide and – alongside sibling franchises Pizza Hut and Taco Bell – turned over $US49 billion ($71.3 billion) in sales in 2018.

How's the McRib?
I get one when it's available. McDonald's had a deal previously where if you bought one you could also get a second for a buck. Now every time they bring back the sandwich but don't bring back the deal, I feel ripped off. It's soured my enjoyment somewhat.

Question:
To you, how big does a piece of chicken need to be to be considered a tender.
Because what im eating is 6pieces the size of a nugget and a half, and its advertised as a basket of tenders and im annoyed because i paid 15$ (Tax tip and 2 small sides included)

Should take 3 bites or more to be considered a tender.

That sounds about right considering tip and tax.
We have a place called Stickys, about $11.50 + %8.7 tax for the same, except just one side of fries that they forcefully stuff in the box. However, they are more like long strips and the quality is of the best I've had. So far, I have not been able to finish the box in one setting.

When I worked at google, in my team we used to bring in different weird flavors of oreo and dare eachothers to eat them.
(they have some real weird flavors in the us)
Now that I work from he I will start that tradition again. Since my wife works from home too and my youngest son does school from home, I will surprise them with that Pineapple one tomorrow and force them to try it.
It will be fun. I can already imagine just how god damn awful it will taste.

I am used to exotic tastes.
I made this one many years ago.
I call it 'The Sushi Hotdog'. It tastes as awful as you can imagine. But I ate it all. Sometimes it is like a challenge.

I remember when it was all you can eat during certain hours, both pizza and dessert. We'd pile in a dozens of us high school kids in those booths and just chow when we got there and chow again about 3 hours later. It was like free refill pizza, free refill drink and whippy ice cream on tap.

I'm trying to eat healthy right now so I can get fit and build some muscle but this thread is testing my will.
Granted, I didn't eat a lot of fast food before either, but I'm basically cutting it entirely until Independence Day when I stuff myself with burgers like the founding fathers intended.

Tim Tams or Penguins? The Australia versus Britain sweet treat taste test

I love fast food.
My favorite thing to get ever are the tacos from Jack in the Box, y'all I'll order like 6 of them with no shame even though I really want to get 10. And their taco sauce is so good, goes great on them. Jack in the Crack also has the best ranch sauce ever I dip the fries in 'em. I've never seen them outside of California before though dunno if there're any out there.
I love McDonald's just for their fries. Because it's so world wide and international I'll eat literally anything off their menu even the Fillet 'O Fish. People say not to put cheese on seafood but McDonald's makes it work. I always order like 2 Quarter Pounders though supersize fries and no soda.
Between McDonald's and Roundtable Pizza (the best imo) I'll have a tough time choosing. I love pepperoni pizza.
Does anyone else miss KFC's parfaits? It's the only thing that was ever worth getting there tbh.
