Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...

:leon

Seems like a local spot would make this way better and cheesier but this is definitely a fun side order. If Taco Bell sold these I'd order it alongside a couple cheesy bean and rice burritos. That's really the highest praise I can give a fast food side item

The shape is pretty fun and they all were welformed. Combining with the bbq really completed the "I'm a fucking savage and I will eat this abomination and laugh in the face of God" feeling.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on June 23, 2016, 11:31:28 PM: I do like that Burger King seems to be one of the only major food chains to even try to challenge Taco Bell's dominance in the field of "Mutant Food Concoctions". Their black-bun Whopper from last year was in fact delicious, and made my stool the color of astroturf.

Had some of these today, they're surprisingly tasty. Artificial af, but with a pleasing crisp/soft texture. Would make for some very fine party hors d'oeuvres.

Post by: kick51 on June 24, 2016, 12:48:18 PM: not terrible. Probably won't go out of my way to try them again, but better than expected. Thought they'd be way saltier and questionably textured. It is a little dry in the middle but not too dry.

The BK in Saudi caught up to the shittiness of the american BK last year. I hate to tell you this, but it will happen to yours eventually.

BK went from straight fire like chicken parm sliders, their old school chicken tenders, and the old school fries to some shitty cafeteria food quality bullshit. It's a travesty.

I live in the US. My favorite fast food joint would have to be either Subway or Popeyes. I've eaten at the former almost every single day for the past 7 months. I never buy chips or soda so I don't feel bad about it. When I was in Singapore, the only difference I noticed was that they didn't have whole wheat bread. I couldn't even find wheat bread in grocery stores. Still don't know why it isn't popular out there. My only Popeyes experience in the country was very disappointing.

Post by: TVC15 on June 30, 2016, 09:47:26 AM: Naysayers are naysaying.

https://consumerist.com/2016/06/29/burger-kings-slightly-congealed-mac-n-cheetos-underwhelm-customers-food-reviewers/

Some of these reviewers sound stone distinguished mentally-challenged though:

“The primary things we associate with Cheetos, I think, are the crunchiness and the delicious cheese dust they leave on your fingers. Burger King’s Mac n’ Cheetos feature only a hint of crunch and an inexcusable lack of cheese dust.”

Um, the WORST thing about Cheetos is the dust. If science could produce a dustless Cheeto, it's likely that no other foods would be necessary.

I go back and tell the lady at the counter. I show her the receipt taped to the bag and she tells me "No no no. You ordered a double. Let me see your receipt." like I was fucking lying. So I show her. She gets all agitated and grabs my bag (with fries inside) and goes in the back and starts yelling in Spanish at the lady making burgers. A minute later she comes back and hands me a burger. I asked "what about my fries?" "No no no. You have your fries already". I told her she took them with her to the back because they were in the bag. She starts to yell at me and says that she didn't take my fries and halfway through her tirade the lady making burgers yells out that she has the fries. After all that shit no apologies or anything. Just basically "take it and leave". Fuck Burger King.

In Japan, Subway and BK are my two favorite foreign food chains. I love them in the USA as well, but the service is actually decent in Japan.
