The Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich is terrible

I'm an installation tech and let me tell you, I tend to eat on the road 2-3 times a week for lunch. Depending where I go, my choices CAN be limited but with my GPS and looking ahead on google maps I can go to places (where possible) where I can eay WELL. I haven't been to McDonalds or Burger King since the millenium. If I really need to go fast food, I'd go to a Harvey's (americans don't have this I assume) where the burgers are grilled to your tastes, where you can pick out fresh ingredients and the guy prepares your burger in front of you. No where close to my grill but I'll take that over the processed shit I see that runs on the tube. The double down? I try my damnest to eat healthy or at worst case, eat a family diner that to be honest have made me discover some real special niches (trip advisor helps) and cost less than these "value meals" with 1500 mg of sodium in a burger, seriously WTF.

It'll be a cold place in hell before you'd see me eat a double downer and to be honest, I think people who eat that kind of shit pretty damn pathetic... especially when I see them woddling down the street.



I didn't pack my lunch today, I drove the same distance to an ethnic supermarket and bought a fresh whole wheat panini, 5 slices of provolone and mortadella and an italian tomato and a nectarine (for 4$) and ate a really amazing sammich/desert. Oh and water is free!

I'm not going to say I never go out and enjoy myself once in awhile but seriously, if you eat out more than twice a week, you need to eat better.

Breakfast? When you wake up drink a tall glass of water (or orange juice or milk) avoid anything salty and you'll realize how quickly you wake up. Those McWraps? Mmmmm sodium delight!

There was this little independent convenience store in my home town that used to make their own homemade spuds/taters/potato wedges. They were, in a word, glorious. For four bucks you got a box of them that weighed 3 pounds. And they were just perfectly done. I've never had potato wedges that good anywhere else.

The local stuff is usually best. It's a shame little town places fold up due to the big chains.

I'm having a food problem right now. For my friends birthday all my friends want to go to this place called the Silk Road that has a lot of the more authentic asian food.

I HATE THAT PLACE. Blech. Last time I was there I got this spring roll thing that had cucumber and sprouts and mint in it. It was godawful. I couldn't even eat it. I had to open it and pick out the cucumber. But for some reason I really want to eat that spring roll again. I hated it yet I want to eat it.

Chicken McNuggets are so much easier to deal with. Emotionally.

My uncle owns a restaurant and right now he as a challenge on the go that if you eat his four pound burger you get the meal free plus twenty bucks.

I'm eagerly awaiting stories.

Woohoo low in sugar!

On a very generous 2k cal diet a single one of these things (and they are REAL SMALL and leave you hungry and thirsty) this is what it takes from you. Almost 1500mg sodium, jesus christ folks. 40g of fat...

They may be unhealthy but those chicken sandwiches are not small. I can't even eat a whole one.

The sodium content is pretty insane. I don't bother getting a soda with a burger or a chicken sandwich. All I want is water.

Ya know I read an article when I was a kid that said they rub down prop food for commercials with Vaseline before taking pictures or filming.

Turkeys are raw in the middle, with the skin put under a heat gun, then brushed with food coloring.

If the ice cream isn't the product being sold (say, the product shot for a box of cones), then they substitute colored shortening instead.

I believe all apples have food-grade wax applied in order to extend freshness. Also, apples have a waxy cover by nature.
