Burger King to rescue stricken economy...with a burger!

http://www.slashfood.com/2009/09/28/burger-king-to-sell-quarter-pound-double-cheeseburger-for-1-dollar/

A buck a burger, sounds pretty good to me. That's what, $1.25 Aussie for a burger. I went to KFC the other day and got two colonel burgers, I handed over a 20 dollar bill and I didn't get much change! O_O

Yeah but do you really want to eat it?

Also, the thread topic is of course facetious in nature, but won't it ruin the economy in healthcare expenses when the fatties load up on burgers?

Like the areshole, would you want to eat it? Who knows what stuff they're putting in it to keep the price that low.

Even though KFC isn't exactly healthy themselves, their ingredients are pretty good quality.

I am ashamed to be part of such piracy.

Well they already water down their mayo.

What the hell, water down mayo. That's just weird. I've heard of watering down soft drinks and cordial, but not sauces silent

It's ok, all their chicken is delivered fresh and there's a cook at each store etc. God those ads are a load of bollocks.

ACTUALLY, the chicken is fresh from Steggles and Ingham.

Not so sure about the cook at each store.

For those not following, I work at KFC.

yeah, it's delivered fresh, then slapped in a freezer.

Its whacked in a fridge, but its never actually frozen. It just kinds sits there in bag, and its all gooey and shit.

Wow. This thread makes me not want to eat KFC chicken. But the chips are good. And the Mountain Dew.

You do NOT wanna know how the Potato and Gravies are made.

You do not wanna know the shit that's been put in the fryers.

Tell me how it's made. I don't want to waste my money on some crap

Please, do tell.

There's this gooey residue that collects at the bottom of the chicken fryers. There are bagged up and put in a freezer.

When gravy is needed the residue, which is now solid but crumbly clump, is mixed with boiling hot water and Gravox.

The potato is just powder and hot water.

Here's a tip, go to the Farmer's Market and get some fresh produce. So long as you eat processed foods you're going to be eating shit that some grubby bastard has had his fingers in. It's easy and cheap to maintain a healthy diet by cooking all your own meals, and they taste a whole lot bloody better than fast food. Or restaurant food, if you're good at it.

That sounds disgusting, but sadly, I'm still not turned off.

I'm with your Fox. As much as I want to, I'm not turned off by it and probably will end up eating it again. Taste too good, and too easy to get D:

I'm not sure about where you live, but in the Adelaide China Town, they have this place where they give you a plate for $5 and you can fill it up with as much food as you like. That's good cheap food.. cheers

Sounds pretty dodgy.

A Chinese restaurant near me got closed because they used cats as food =S

I know have to live with the fact that I more than likely ate cat, several times.

Yea it is kind of dodgy. It taste pretty good though, and doesn't make me sick. I'm not expecting much more for $5 dollars Razz

Maybe they forgot to order it and are strecthing it out until the order arrives, the Subiaco and Innaloo stores are like that, funnily enough the one in Bunbury too last weekend
