Help[Facts] Re: Slightly off subject
in reply to a message by Sarah
Discussions of food, beer, or how ugly the Pontiac Aztek is are NEVER off-topic, Sarah. :)
Whoppers are one of my favorites, but having eaten them for over thirty years, I can attest that they've greatly SHRUNK rather than gotten bigger. In the late 60's when they were a new thing, the patty in Whoppers was about 6-1/2" in diameter -- truly BIG. And with cheese it was 59 cents: such a deal!
Over the years the Whopper meat shrank in diameter, altho it may have gotten very slightly thicker. The taste remained among the best, but unfortunately, the "dining experience" at BK's deteriorated badly.
IS THERE SOME CORPORATE DIRECTIVE THAT NO EMPLOYEE OF BURGER KING MAY *EVER* EMPTY A TRASH RECEPTACLE OR WIPE OFF A TABLE OR SEAT?? If I get a Whopper, it's for takeout.
I had one as recently as three days ago in Lexington, but ate in the car after checking out the dining room. It was disgusting but far from the worst I'd seen. (That one was in my old hometown of Hickory, NC. For the only time in my life, I actually complained to the Health Department. Yuck.)
