Imagine being a millennial or zoomer and this is your nostalgic memory of Wendy's. A fucking commercial with some boomer. Meanwhile, based Gen-X got to experience the toppest fast food resteraunt decor of 80's Wendys with those "old fashioned" themed decor and tables with old timey newspapers.
I want to go back. I want to dip my fries in my frosty again.
Those were great too. I was a kid in the 80's but the 90's salad bars were kino. In high school we would go to our Wendys and order basic cheeseburgers and dress them up at the salad bar with gf's salad. I just wish they hadn't have wrecked that old timey decor and become generic like literally every place did in the 90's. Everything became very samey-samey.
You can sometimes find places that have never been remodeled for one reason or another and they're glorious.
The theory I've heard is they're all boring boxes now to make them easy to repurpose if that location closes. Seems most of these chains now have very little faith in their own products.

Because there was no delivery yet, and you had to go deliver your lazy ass self to the Pizza Hut to get it, go in, sit down, and eat.

I remember getting excited as a kid when they'd update the numbers on the sign. Eventually they went to the soulless 'Billions and billions served'. Later just 'Billions served' and eventually dropping the slogan completely.

Yeah that's an even bigger shame to get rid of one of those ones. The one I posted was around the 70s so not as classic.
ah, but are you old enough to remember when all these little burger joints had their own THEME they forced their employees to wear costumes? In the 80s Wendys employees had cute little striped uniforms that looked like prisoner outfits. Long Johns had pirate outfits, and McDonalds had to all wear clown outfits.
You're only calling it bait because it got a lot of (You)s. It could just as easily have been sincere retardation. Zoomers are literally the "i was being retarded on purpose" generation. Cope incarnate.

If he ate Wendys he wouldn't have even made it two weeks without dropping.
Honestly though what would have happened if he just altered the portion size of the meal? I mean if you buy a big mac, what would happen if you ate it as 2 or 3 meals instead of 1? If I eat 3000 calories worth of vegetables a day I would still get fat and die.

It doesn't matter. If you listen to what he SAYS he ate, there's no way he could have gotten as fat as he says he did. He's just a fucking liar.
>people on here unironically defend a corporation selling people poison that's been molded to look like food
"fresh" and "real food" restaurants have killed way more people than McDonalds has. McDonalds is not unhealthy or unsafe. Just don't eat it every meal in huge portions like a fucking idiot. You fucking redditors went apeshit over Chipotle for years and that place is ground zero for food borne illnesses.
Why does this happen more often at "real food" restaurants than fast food chains? I tend to only eat fast food because I don't like leaving my car to deal with others, and I like chilling with the heat up listening to podcasts.
Did you just prove that I'm living the kino lifestyle?

Are the burgers and fries really that bad? It's a lot of salt and carbs sure, but that's nothing compared to a large soda with all that fucking sugar.
If he hadn't been a rampant acholic I wonder what the difference would have been if he hadn't had the drinks with each meal compared to the supersized sodas.
STFU gay, you don't even know what a 'carb' actually is or what salt, sugar, or anything else does in your body. You're just regurgitating works you heard that you think makes you some kind of expert on diet.

McDonald's is pretty terrible in all respects. It's not even a good deal price wise. You pay $10 and get a baby amount of actual food, and of course it's usually quite dry and mediocre. They can play as many shrinklflation games as they'd like, my stomach knows when it's full or not, even a large Big Mac meal feels like I just had a small snack.
>Slappy Macs, or Maccas as the Emu Clan call it, is shit
Good catch, anon...and outside their nuggies and fries, they are not worth eating. The prices are atrocious at this point...
and guess who we can, in part...thank for that?
If you said a drunk fraud doing a documentary, you were right.
McDonald's isn't a real human, and isn't your friend or the hooker you rent to fuck in the back of your VW bug.
It's there to punch out sub-ferior products to people. Your peak was the 80's boom, going into the mid 90's, then it bottomed out because they chase profit, not quality.
In the 80's, they were still making a name for themselves. Expansion was beginning. They were definitely not everywhere in every town. Quality control was a little shoddy (better now on their fries, but still way off "acceptable").
Their sellers were cheap, shitty burgers, cheap fries (but really good fries) and overpriced sodas. As for quality, they WERE superior to now. Far superior to now. But trust me...they were not THAT good, they were just that cheap to buy.
Burger King was always shit.
RIP Hardees double roast beef & cheddar.
(Wendy's now with great curly q's.)
Taco's Bell and Mayo also used to be way better, prior to the minced cat head meat they use now, with miniscule portions.
Sonic is also garbage...the company sellout trashed them hard. Franchisees are always lazy, greedy fucks anyway, and they won't survive the coming Franchise Wars that Pizza Hut or Taco Bell will win (depending on your area).

The only thing you know about people on the left is what Fox News tells you, ironic.
it's funny because in red states it's nothing but chain stores and restaurants everywhere you go. Absolutely no culture and most of the midwestern states are completely interchangeable. Liberal cities are the only ones with small businesses.
lol dude the left has always hated small business and preferred megacorps if given the chance. small business is after all the backbone of bourgeois individualism.
Well there is nothing wrong with supporting big businesses. Big businesses are better for the working man. They give better benefits that small businesses never do. They have fairer hiring practices which stops white nepotism. Ever worked for a small business? Good luck getting hired if you are brown or black.
This is the opposite of my lived experiences. Red states are rich in local culture and local small businesses, many of which then grow into regional chains. The blue states I’ve lived in are fiercely anti-small business and they are dominated by big businesses. You say its the opposite which means you don’t even live in america and are just spreading propaganda
Being an alcoholic caused me to lose weight even though I chase with sweet drinks. I go days without eating anything at all. Then after the binge I tend to be sick and the thought of food makes me want to vomit so that's a couple more days of no eating.
Alcohol makes you fat as fuck because
a. There's tons of sugar on it and is probably a big reason why so many people are diabetic
b. Your liver actually swells which is what causes beer belly
c. You eat a lot when you're drunk
If alcohol was to be banned I bet the obesity rates all over the world would drop.
>Wendy's
It was just announced yesterday that Wendy's is opening 10 stores here in Australia. For whatever reason they've never tried to open here. One of my hotels had one in walking distance when I was in the states. Wasn't bad but I don't really see it as all that different to the existing American burger franchises on offer (McDonald's, Hungry Jack's (Burger King), Carl's Jr, Five Guys, etc.) aside from the shape of the burgers.
Yeah I'm american I actually already knew the Hungry Jacks and Maccas thing. But then again I'm not typically dumb american. It's interesting, hell it's interesting your version of KMart is successful.
Our Kmart completely revamped their operation years ago to become successful. They cut a shitload of product lines with small product margins and focused on homewares, kitchen stuff, furniture, etc. They basically became the inexpensive homewares store that still offered reasonable quality for dirt cheap. Essentially Ikea Lite.
Yep ours were left to rot by sears basically. Amazing difference ownership can be.

That has happened to Target and Big W here. Neither have any reason to exist any more, no specific market, no product focus and are just kept on life support by the supermarket chains that own them. They don't even offer a decent online presence like Kmart. I'm astonished covid didn't kill them. I don't know why they don't just convert them to warehouses or sell off the shop space.
>but I don't really see it as all that different to the existing American burger franchises on offer (McDonald's, Hungry Jack's (Burger King), Carl's Jr, Five Guys, etc.)
Wendy's tastes more homestyle taste. McDonald's tastes like plastic and Burger King is sort of in between the two.
>hmmm, morgan these liver tests seem to indicate you have taken an unlikely amount of damage from your mcdonalds diet that has been going for less than a month. It's almost like you have been binge drinking almost every day since you were 13 and are now 33

This guy is a gay with a bug up his arse about McDonald's because it makes money selling burgers or something. As if a slice of tomato in a burger at McDonald's is any different to one you put in a sandwich at home.
Fuck him and his soi-sucking little unscientific test. I can't believe the number of idiots who fell for that obvious shit. PROTIP: There's nothing magical about food, most of it is neither "good" nor "bad". The term 'junk food' is just as fucking meaningless as 'health food', and is for fucking idiots who have to oversimplify everything because they're too stupid to actually understand reality.
>As if a slice of tomato in a burger at McDonald's is any different to one you put in a sandwich at home
I'm typing this about 10 inches from my garden tomatoes so yeah there definitely is a difference between those and the Styrofoam ones they put on the burgers.
Not that anon but tomato is a bad example because of all fruits and veggies it probably suffers the most from the industrial food process. A garden fresh tomato and even one you buy at a grocery store are nothing alike taste wise, to say nothing of getting one pre-sliced that's been delivered to a restaurant.

and that's the nice thing about August-September. the tomatoes just keep on coming barring the occasional one that rots apart on the vine.
>all fruits and veggies and meat suffer the from the industrial food process
Go get some cucumbers from a small organic farm. Compare them to ones from the super market. Do the same with carrots and bell peppers and strawberries. Do the same with a steak (grass fed beef vs feed lot) or chicken. Note that I'm talking about small farm organic, not the industrial scale organic you'll find at a super market.
If you can't taste the difference, then you are either in some lucky timeline where super markets have good food or a hell dimension where good food doesn't grow any more.
Yes, I wasn't implying tomatoes are the only ones. They're probably the most immediately noticeable though. You can grow a tomato with almost no effort that's tastes like biting into ketchup it's so rich and delicious. Meanwhile, every supermarket tomato is practically tasteless because of the harvesting, ripening, and refrigeration process destroys the flavor.
When you get into things like steak and bacon and even some processed foods there are certain grades that you just can't get in supermarkets because they are diverted before the buyers have access to them. They end up in restaurants and such.

>actually believing in 'muh organik' >relying on subjective feels about 'taste'
Get a fucking clue retards.
>taste doesn't exist!
Not only are you a retard, but you can't read. The argument wasn't about organic vs. non-organic. It was garden vs. supermarket. Organic farming is usually pretty pathetic and yields shittier produce. People eat it not because it's better or more flavorful but because they think it's not going to kill them. Outside of possibly berries and soft fruit, it's almost always not true.
>There's no difference between junk food or healthy food with CICO
Actually it is. Take 2 people with more or less the same physique, eating 2000 calories of healthy clean food, and take the other eating 2000 of pure fast food. Do you honestly think that in 3 months they will have the same body composition, hormonal markers, blood markers, liver markers, cholesterol markers? Do you honestly believe that in 3 months the person eating fast food every day for his diet will be even able to sustain that diet without getting massive dopamine withdrawals if he doesn't have the meal? If you want to extend this, extend this hypothetical study for 30 years. Do you honestly believe in 30 years the 2 people will be equal in overall health and well being?
Calories in calories out is the most important thing for weight loss/gain, but anybody who says a calorie is a calorie and it doesn't matter from where it comes from, is not thinking properly at all.
>clean food
"healthy food" is notoriously unclean and the term itself more indicates the delusion and latent mental illness of people who get into fad diets and food fanaticism than anything. You're not special because you have a smug attitude towards processed food, gay. You're not "cleaner".
>Smug attitude towards processed foods
Just because I can be objective about food quality doesn't mean I don't eat processed foods. I probably eat more red meat, bacon, sausages, and simple carbs than you, pussy. But I get it, you don't know shit about shit, which is why you go for character attacks instead of the substance of the argument.
>I probably eat more red meat, bacon, sausages, and simple carbs than you, pussy.
The fact that you can make such a statement with ZERO evidence throws any credibility to your >IM OBJECTIVE claim utterly and completely out the window. You're just utterly delusional.
Actually since I'm bulking, my diet literally everyday is Kraft Dinner, ground beef/pork, sausages, beef burgers, bacon, ketchup, mustard and mayo, and whey protein. That's how I hit my macros.

To be fair garden lettuce is also absolutely nothing like the crap you get at fast food places although sadly lettuce and tomatoes are not in season at the same time (lettuce season is May and June).
It's good to see that polchuds finally care about being healthy. The sad part is that while it might fix their bodies, it won't fix their horrible personalities and they will continue to remain virgins.
the mentally weak create enemies in their mind to make attacks against,usually out of charactures of people they dont like. Hyperbole is part of characture.
also propaganda is designed in part to mentally isolate.
Covid was the final excuse to get rid of them but even before the pandemic, they were increasingly a liability. Plus most kids have ipads or similar devices to keep them entertained while out and about.
Yeah as a 90s kid I loved them (and the stuff like Discovery Zone) I mean play places were all over the place in one form or another, fast food, theme parks, small places like DZ as I said, etc. But god as an adult you realize how much of a biohazzard you were in and are lucky to be fucking alive.
>Plus most kids have ipads or similar devices to keep them entertained while out and about. >kids getting up and moving around in a play place >kids sitting sedentary and staring at a screen
What could possibly be the issue there...
ah bullshit. you mean to say people weren't complaining that TV was ruining kids back in the 80s-90s or you didn't have Gameboys and whatnot back then?
You couldn't lug a TV into a Playland back then and you might have like 3 Gameboy games so when you got bored of playing those you'd have to find something else to do.
Television sets were heavy and had to be plugged in. Very few restaurants had them. The few who did were usually sports bar type of places. Same with computers and video games. Handheld games existed by they were extremely basic and wouldn't hold a child's attention anywhere near as long as an ipad does.
Speaking of bars and touch screens, I remember the local bowling alley had one of those early Megatouch CRT touch screens.

Obviously McDonalds isn't great for you but the massive sodas are what really fuck you up. It's why the most obese countries are the ones with the highest soda consumption.

my mom is 68. she be like "yeah Burger King's too much for my stomach anymore I could plug it down when I was 40 but I'd get horrific indigestion now."
Burger King takes my stomach like 2 extra hours to digest compared to normal food. Like I'll still have burps that taste like their weird aftertaste 4 hours after a meal.
Agree with you on the alcohol part but restaurants have very high margins on soda and push everyone to get it. If you want water, you get the shitty tiny clear plastic cup of shame, though they will sell you bottled water since it too has a very high markup.
This guy is an absolute grifting cocksucker, but he's not wrong about this: https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4629
Get edumacated you 'muh healthy' 'muh junkfood' gays.
>not simply one, not even two, but three Big Mac hamburgers a day can be part of a nutritious and healthy diet — one that, if not perfect, is substantially better than what most people eat each day. The reason for this is simple: people are generally ignorant about nutrition, believing healthy eating to require strict adherence to certain things and avoidance of others. The simple fact is that human beings are omnivorous. We can, and do, live quite well on extremely varied diets ... The notion that a Big Mac's full complement of diverse ingredients would be lacking in nutrition is demonstrably wrong; as is the belief that it contains unusually large amounts of things we normally think of as bad. It does have a couple excesses, but as we'll see they're not unusual, and by themselves not problematic.
tl;dr: Food is just food for the most part, and your retarded beliefs about 'muh nutrition' is bullshit you got from people trying to sell you particular foods, books, and hate their corporate competitors. Grow the fuck up retards.
I don't. It just saves me a lot of typing. Like I said, the guy is a self-absorbed cocksucker. Doesn't make him necessarily wrong about any particular thing. I just wouldn't take his advice when it comes to cookies.

This guy's documentary accomplished nothing about America's growing obesity problem, and alot of it isn't even being caused by McDonalds anyway. It's caused by giving everyone and their mother food stamps and other government supplements.
It was a total bullshit garden gnome hit-job on McDonald's from the get-go. Whether motivated/financed by their market competition or just some Lentil-sucking ideology doesn't matter. You don't need to bother trying to figure it out, because bullshit is still bullshit any way you cut it.
Anyone who bought into anything this guy said is a fucking moron. "I ate a Big Mac and now I feel sick". Yeah, real scientific gay.

If you can understand this one simple point about food, you'll save yourself a lot of time, stress, and money over a lifetime ...
Your car engine needs oil to run properly, just like your body needs calories and nutrients. There is a range of types and grades of oil that will work in your car. If the level gets too low, that can cause problems, and if it gets too high, oil will get sprayed out of the engine. There's an optimum RANGE to keep your oil at, that you can check using the dipstick.
Just like you don't need to keep checking your oil level every five seconds to make sure it is DEAD ON middle of that range, you don't need to worry about your diet that much if it's within a certain range. Nor can you make your car engine work better by trying to keep the oil level at the maximum mark on the dipstick. At some point any miniscule difference becomes insignificant/unmeasurable, which is why there are 'healthy' ranges in the first place - on dipsticks and in terms of diet, with margins of error where slightly high or low isn't going to result in major problems either, especially for short periods. When you got your recommended daily requirement of whatever milligrams of Vitamin C today, did you weigh yourself first and adjust it accordingly gay? Of course you didn't, because it wouldn't matter anyway.
That's how stupid you look falling for garden gnome bullshit where you're running around hyperventilating about everything you eat, jumping through hoops trying to eat a perfect diet, and buying the products your told too, as if doing so is going to make you live forever.
PROTIP: It wont, just like your car engine is going to eventually fail, and no amount or type of oil is going to change that, or significantly/measurably even if it did.
tl;dr: Don't be a dipstick. Eat anything you want, but less than you're eating now lardass and you'll be fine. Listening to some book-selling quack on Oprah doesn't make you a nutrition expert.
Though do remember to vary up your diet from time to time, kids. You don't gotta get crazy, but some olives & salad won't explode your ass out once in a while.

i used to love sitting in that little slanted window area. always felt so cozy
It's not the one pictured but a mcdonald's in my area (but I don't go to it others are way closer) even after getting rid of itself and rebuilding into a generic modern box like others are in recent times still kept their giant classic sign just like this one. I have mad respect for that
I remember getting excited as a kid when they'd update the numbers on the sign. Eventually they went to the soulless 'Billions and billions served'. Later just 'Billions served' and eventually dropping the slogan completely.
Yeah that's what the one near me says, also has a small message board thing for your typical small fast food messages ranging from "have a nice day" to "try our app" etc
what fucking year do you live in. the mcdonalds in my area have all had digital signs for like a decade now.
It's just this particular one I'm talking about. Others are dif
Not everyone here is a zoomer who thinks the Earth sprung into existence when they were born.
no I mean what middle of nowhere shithole do you live in where the mcdonalds hasn't been updated in 20 years during a time when the company was updating it's entire image.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit nor is being personable. Not sure if you're a troll or just an insecure asshole, either way, stop shitting up the thread with your mental issues.
I already said that they updated to the modern building but kept the old shit out front too
One of the franchises in my hometown had a really old sign like pic related that they refused to update. Sometime in the mid 90s eventually it either become unrepairable or the corporate offices made them change to a new one. It was looking rather shabby towards the end.
Yeah that's an even bigger shame to get rid of one of those ones. The one I posted was around the 70s so not as classic.
They later added pizza. According to inflation calculator, $2.99 is $6.38 now, which isn't a bad deal for all you can eat and drink.
ah, but are you old enough to remember when all these little burger joints had their own THEME they forced their employees to wear costumes? In the 80s Wendys employees had cute little striped uniforms that looked like prisoner outfits. Long Johns had pirate outfits, and McDonalds had to all wear clown outfits.
They were unique. Now most fast food places wear a polo with the company logo and an apron. Many don't even have uniforms, just an apron.
Who had the most unique uniforms?
Long John Silvers
And this is their current generic uniform. So much soul has been lost.
Nothing brings me more joy than successful bait.
You're only calling it bait because it got a lot of (You)s. It could just as easily have been sincere retardation. Zoomers are literally the "i was being retarded on purpose" generation. Cope incarnate.

Actually came here to post this one.
Honestly though what would have happened if he just altered the portion size of the meal? I mean if you buy a big mac, what would happen if you ate it as 2 or 3 meals instead of 1? If I eat 3000 calories worth of vegetables a day I would still get fat and die.

It doesn't matter. If you listen to what he SAYS he ate, there's no way he could have gotten as fat as he says he did. He's just a fucking liar.
Also get a supersize me whenever asked. This doc was bullshit.

>people on here unironically defend a corporation selling people poison that's been molded to look like food
"fresh" and "real food" restaurants have killed way more people than McDonalds has. McDonalds is not unhealthy or unsafe. Just don't eat it every meal in huge portions like a fucking idiot. You fucking redditors went apeshit over Chipotle for years and that place is ground zero for food borne illnesses.
Think I'll have Chipotle later. Thanks.

Why does this happen more often at "real food" restaurants than fast food chains? I tend to only eat fast food because I don't like leaving my car to deal with others, and I like chilling with the heat up listening to podcasts.

The food they sell is garbage stripped of nutrients, but that doesn’t make the documentary any less fraudelent, you cocksucker
Lol Sperglock sucks, I’ll support anything against him
Are the burgers and fries really that bad? It's a lot of salt and carbs sure, but that's nothing compared to a large soda with all that fucking sugar.
If he hadn't been a rampant acholic I wonder what the difference would have been if he hadn't had the drinks with each meal compared to the supersized sodas.
STFU gay, you don't even know what a 'carb' actually is or what salt, sugar, or anything else does in your body. You're just regurgitating works you heard that you think makes you some kind of expert on diet.
>heh oh yeah he ate fast food everyday and had a shitty drinking habit and he got FAT and UNHEALTHY? yeah well who would have THOUGHT that would happen heheh

sorry if you thought it was a piece of scientific experiment and not an activist documentary, i guess you're too retarded to distinguish between the two. Now go watch Fathead, dork
To be fair his alcoholism became public information only around 2017. Most people saw it way before that.
McDonald's is pretty terrible in all respects. It's not even a good deal price wise. You pay $10 and get a baby amount of actual food, and of course it's usually quite dry and mediocre. They can play as many shrinklflation games as they'd like, my stomach knows when it's full or not, even a large Big Mac meal feels like I just had a small snack.
they were better in the 90s
at least Burger King burgers actually fill you up and load you down
They are also more expensive
>load you down

>Slappy Macs, or Maccas as the Emu Clan call it, is shit
Good catch, anon...and outside their nuggies and fries, they are not worth eating. The prices are atrocious at this point...
and guess who we can, in part...thank for that?
If you said a drunk fraud doing a documentary, you were right.
McDonald's isn't a real human, and isn't your friend or the hooker you rent to fuck in the back of your VW bug.
It's there to punch out sub-ferior products to people. Your peak was the 80's boom, going into the mid 90's, then it bottomed out because they chase profit, not quality.
In the 80's, they were still making a name for themselves. Expansion was beginning. They were definitely not everywhere in every town. Quality control was a little shoddy (better now on their fries, but still way off "acceptable").
Their sellers were cheap, shitty burgers, cheap fries (but really good fries) and overpriced sodas. As for quality, they WERE superior to now. Far superior to now. But trust me...they were not THAT good, they were just that cheap to buy.
Burger King was always shit.
RIP Hardees double roast beef & cheddar.
(Wendy's now with great curly q's.)
Taco's Bell and Mayo also used to be way better, prior to the minced cat head meat they use now, with miniscule portions.
Sonic is also garbage...the company sellout trashed them hard. Franchisees are always lazy, greedy fucks anyway, and they won't survive the coming Franchise Wars that Pizza Hut or Taco Bell will win (depending on your area).

The only thing you know about people on the left is what Fox News tells you, ironic.
it's funny because in red states it's nothing but chain stores and restaurants everywhere you go. Absolutely no culture and most of the midwestern states are completely interchangeable. Liberal cities are the only ones with small businesses.
lol dude the left has always hated small business and preferred megacorps if given the chance. small business is after all the backbone of bourgeois individualism.
Well there is nothing wrong with supporting big businesses. Big businesses are better for the working man. They give better benefits that small businesses never do. They have fairer hiring practices which stops white nepotism. Ever worked for a small business? Good luck getting hired if you are brown or black.
This is the opposite of my lived experiences. Red states are rich in local culture and local small businesses, many of which then grow into regional chains. The blue states I’ve lived in are fiercely anti-small business and they are dominated by big businesses. You say its the opposite which means you don’t even live in america and are just spreading propaganda
I think being an alcoholic will make you fatter than eating fast food.
indeed it does. i'm 34 and rail-thin because i don't drink at all. but many dudes are not yet 30 and already have massive beer guts.
Being an alcoholic caused me to lose weight even though I chase with sweet drinks. I go days without eating anything at all. Then after the binge I tend to be sick and the thought of food makes me want to vomit so that's a couple more days of no eating.
Alcohol itself doesn't add much body fat however it does inhibit your body from burning fat.
It also leads to bad food choices, just look at that Stoklasa fuck.
Alcohol makes you fat as fuck because
a. There's tons of sugar on it and is probably a big reason why so many people are diabetic
b. Your liver actually swells which is what causes beer belly
c. You eat a lot when you're drunk
If alcohol was to be banned I bet the obesity rates all over the world would drop.
Lead poisoning, in multiple forms, would go up.
>b. Your liver actually swells which is what causes beer belly

Like most corporations, McDonalds doesn't have a political "orientation" and will give to either party if it benefits them.

>Wendy's
It was just announced yesterday that Wendy's is opening 10 stores here in Australia. For whatever reason they've never tried to open here. One of my hotels had one in walking distance when I was in the states. Wasn't bad but I don't really see it as all that different to the existing American burger franchises on offer (McDonald's, Hungry Jack's (Burger King), Carl's Jr, Five Guys, etc.) aside from the shape of the burgers.
You are aussie and don't call it Maccas?
I do but figured I'm talking with Americans so used the full name, same reason I clarified that Hungry Jack's is basically Burger King.
Yeah I'm american I actually already knew the Hungry Jacks and Maccas thing. But then again I'm not typically dumb american. It's interesting, hell it's interesting your version of KMart is successful.
Our Kmart completely revamped their operation years ago to become successful. They cut a shitload of product lines with small product margins and focused on homewares, kitchen stuff, furniture, etc. They basically became the inexpensive homewares store that still offered reasonable quality for dirt cheap. Essentially Ikea Lite.
Yep ours were left to rot by sears basically. Amazing difference ownership can be.
That has happened to Target and Big W here. Neither have any reason to exist any more, no specific market, no product focus and are just kept on life support by the supermarket chains that own them. They don't even offer a decent online presence like Kmart. I'm astonished covid didn't kill them. I don't know why they don't just convert them to warehouses or sell off the shop space.
Still having a based K-Mart.
Oh how I miss those KTEL disco records on sale.
>oh look! it's another Rick James album clearance...and is that an ABBA?
>Maccas

>but I don't really see it as all that different to the existing American burger franchises on offer (McDonald's, Hungry Jack's (Burger King), Carl's Jr, Five Guys, etc.)
Wendy's tastes more homestyle taste. McDonald's tastes like plastic and Burger King is sort of in between the two.
Lost me when they got rid of Ronald McDonald and friends.
>hmmm, morgan these liver tests seem to indicate you have taken an unlikely amount of damage from your mcdonalds diet that has been going for less than a month. It's almost like you have been binge drinking almost every day since you were 13 and are now 33

I've been reducing it, it got bad when I hit age of majority. My labs last week came back better than those in Feb. I might have a thyroid issue though, one that predates my heavy drinking. But frankly, thyroid issues are very treatable and affect a lot. I'm optimistic.

Rebbit's the other way gay.
This guy is a gay with a bug up his arse about McDonald's because it makes money selling burgers or something. As if a slice of tomato in a burger at McDonald's is any different to one you put in a sandwich at home.
Fuck him and his soi-sucking little unscientific test. I can't believe the number of idiots who fell for that obvious shit. PROTIP: There's nothing magical about food, most of it is neither "good" nor "bad". The term 'junk food' is just as fucking meaningless as 'health food', and is for fucking idiots who have to oversimplify everything because they're too stupid to actually understand reality.
>As if a slice of tomato in a burger at McDonald's is any different to one you put in a sandwich at home
I'm typing this about 10 inches from my garden tomatoes so yeah there definitely is a difference between those and the Styrofoam ones they put on the burgers.
Not that anon but tomato is a bad example because of all fruits and veggies it probably suffers the most from the industrial food process. A garden fresh tomato and even one you buy at a grocery store are nothing alike taste wise, to say nothing of getting one pre-sliced that's been delivered to a restaurant.
and that's the nice thing about August-September. the tomatoes just keep on coming barring the occasional one that rots apart on the vine.
>all fruits and veggies and meat suffer the from the industrial food process
Go get some cucumbers from a small organic farm. Compare them to ones from the super market. Do the same with carrots and bell peppers and strawberries. Do the same with a steak (grass fed beef vs feed lot) or chicken. Note that I'm talking about small farm organic, not the industrial scale organic you'll find at a super market.
If you can't taste the difference, then you are either in some lucky timeline where super markets have good food or a hell dimension where good food doesn't grow any more.
>and bell peppers
My experience is the garden ones are about half the size of the store-bought peppers.
Yes, I wasn't implying tomatoes are the only ones. They're probably the most immediately noticeable though. You can grow a tomato with almost no effort that's tastes like biting into ketchup it's so rich and delicious. Meanwhile, every supermarket tomato is practically tasteless because of the harvesting, ripening, and refrigeration process destroys the flavor.
When you get into things like steak and bacon and even some processed foods there are certain grades that you just can't get in supermarkets because they are diverted before the buyers have access to them. They end up in restaurants and such.
Fair enough. And I agree about tomatoes. I feel dread ever time I bite one. Will this one be at least edible?
>actually believing in 'muh organik'
>relying on subjective feels about 'taste'
Get a fucking clue retards.
>taste doesn't exist!
Not only are you a retard, but you can't read. The argument wasn't about organic vs. non-organic. It was garden vs. supermarket. Organic farming is usually pretty pathetic and yields shittier produce. People eat it not because it's better or more flavorful but because they think it's not going to kill them. Outside of possibly berries and soft fruit, it's almost always not true.
Fat fuck detected.
>The term 'junk food' is just as fucking meaningless as 'health food'
You got me e-boin', tubs
>The term 'junk food' is just as fucking meaningless as 'health food'
Copypasta?
>There's no difference between junk food or healthy food with CICO
Actually it is. Take 2 people with more or less the same physique, eating 2000 calories of healthy clean food, and take the other eating 2000 of pure fast food. Do you honestly think that in 3 months they will have the same body composition, hormonal markers, blood markers, liver markers, cholesterol markers? Do you honestly believe that in 3 months the person eating fast food every day for his diet will be even able to sustain that diet without getting massive dopamine withdrawals if he doesn't have the meal? If you want to extend this, extend this hypothetical study for 30 years. Do you honestly believe in 30 years the 2 people will be equal in overall health and well being?
Calories in calories out is the most important thing for weight loss/gain, but anybody who says a calorie is a calorie and it doesn't matter from where it comes from, is not thinking properly at all.
>clean food
"healthy food" is notoriously unclean and the term itself more indicates the delusion and latent mental illness of people who get into fad diets and food fanaticism than anything. You're not special because you have a smug attitude towards processed food, gay. You're not "cleaner".
>Smug attitude towards processed foods
Just because I can be objective about food quality doesn't mean I don't eat processed foods. I probably eat more red meat, bacon, sausages, and simple carbs than you, pussy. But I get it, you don't know shit about shit, which is why you go for character attacks instead of the substance of the argument.
>I probably eat more red meat, bacon, sausages, and simple carbs than you, pussy.
The fact that you can make such a statement with ZERO evidence throws any credibility to your >IM OBJECTIVE claim utterly and completely out the window. You're just utterly delusional.
Actually since I'm bulking, my diet literally everyday is Kraft Dinner, ground beef/pork, sausages, beef burgers, bacon, ketchup, mustard and mayo, and whey protein. That's how I hit my macros.

>Kraft Dinner
Another non-American shitting up my Cinemaphile. Someone please make them stop coming here.
To be fair garden lettuce is also absolutely nothing like the crap you get at fast food places although sadly lettuce and tomatoes are not in season at the same time (lettuce season is May and June).
Their buns also taste like sponge
It was a dry summer in the Northeast which is good for tomatoes as they don't like too much rain.
It's good to see that polchuds finally care about being healthy. The sad part is that while it might fix their bodies, it won't fix their horrible personalities and they will continue to remain virgins.

Covid was the final excuse to get rid of them but even before the pandemic, they were increasingly a liability. Plus most kids have ipads or similar devices to keep them entertained while out and about.
Yeah as a 90s kid I loved them (and the stuff like Discovery Zone) I mean play places were all over the place in one form or another, fast food, theme parks, small places like DZ as I said, etc. But god as an adult you realize how much of a biohazzard you were in and are lucky to be fucking alive.

We're trying to perfect the spherical human.
ah bullshit. you mean to say people weren't complaining that TV was ruining kids back in the 80s-90s or you didn't have Gameboys and whatnot back then?
>Millenial selective memory
You couldn't lug a TV into a Playland back then and you might have like 3 Gameboy games so when you got bored of playing those you'd have to find something else to do.
Television sets were heavy and had to be plugged in. Very few restaurants had them. The few who did were usually sports bar type of places. Same with computers and video games. Handheld games existed by they were extremely basic and wouldn't hold a child's attention anywhere near as long as an ipad does.
Speaking of bars and touch screens, I remember the local bowling alley had one of those early Megatouch CRT touch screens.
First touchscreen I encountered was at EPCOT Center. Really felt like I was in the future. I haven't been back since the 80s but hear it's been stripped of most of the wonder and now is themed out the butt with Disney characters.
It'll blow your mind to learn that the term "couch potato" dates from the 80s if not earlier.

Yes lardass, that is what he said.
Obviously McDonalds isn't great for you but the massive sodas are what really fuck you up. It's why the most obese countries are the ones with the highest soda consumption.

Burger King takes my stomach like 2 extra hours to digest compared to normal food. Like I'll still have burps that taste like their weird aftertaste 4 hours after a meal.
I never liked BK's fries compared to McDonalds's though.
If he wasn't getting drunk off his ass every night (and didn't order soda) he would've been fine eating McDonald's
Agree with you on the alcohol part but restaurants have very high margins on soda and push everyone to get it. If you want water, you get the shitty tiny clear plastic cup of shame, though they will sell you bottled water since it too has a very high markup.

Get edumacated you 'muh healthy' 'muh junkfood' gays.
>not simply one, not even two, but three Big Mac hamburgers a day can be part of a nutritious and healthy diet — one that, if not perfect, is substantially better than what most people eat each day. The reason for this is simple: people are generally ignorant about nutrition, believing healthy eating to require strict adherence to certain things and avoidance of others. The simple fact is that human beings are omnivorous. We can, and do, live quite well on extremely varied diets ... The notion that a Big Mac's full complement of diverse ingredients would be lacking in nutrition is demonstrably wrong; as is the belief that it contains unusually large amounts of things we normally think of as bad. It does have a couple excesses, but as we'll see they're not unusual, and by themselves not problematic.
tl;dr: Food is just food for the most part, and your retarded beliefs about 'muh nutrition' is bullshit you got from people trying to sell you particular foods, books, and hate their corporate competitors. Grow the fuck up retards.

Your car engine needs oil to run properly, just like your body needs calories and nutrients. There is a range of types and grades of oil that will work in your car. If the level gets too low, that can cause problems, and if it gets too high, oil will get sprayed out of the engine. There's an optimum RANGE to keep your oil at, that you can check using the dipstick.
Just like you don't need to keep checking your oil level every five seconds to make sure it is DEAD ON middle of that range, you don't need to worry about your diet that much if it's within a certain range. Nor can you make your car engine work better by trying to keep the oil level at the maximum mark on the dipstick. At some point any miniscule difference becomes insignificant/unmeasurable, which is why there are 'healthy' ranges in the first place - on dipsticks and in terms of diet, with margins of error where slightly high or low isn't going to result in major problems either, especially for short periods. When you got your recommended daily requirement of whatever milligrams of Vitamin C today, did you weigh yourself first and adjust it accordingly gay? Of course you didn't, because it wouldn't matter anyway.
That's how stupid you look falling for garden gnome bullshit where you're running around hyperventilating about everything you eat, jumping through hoops trying to eat a perfect diet, and buying the products your told too, as if doing so is going to make you live forever.
PROTIP: It wont, just like your car engine is going to eventually fail, and no amount or type of oil is going to change that, or significantly/measurably even if it did.
tl;dr: Don't be a dipstick. Eat anything you want, but less than you're eating now lardass and you'll be fine. Listening to some book-selling quack on Oprah doesn't make you a nutrition expert.
BASED AS FUCK post.
Though do remember to vary up your diet from time to time, kids. You don't gotta get crazy, but some olives & salad won't explode your ass out once in a while.
>I is smart
>when you overeat it sprays out of your ass and duck hole like over filled oil
