    I went to Burger King a couple months back and got me, a friend helping me and my wife each a #1. Nothing special, just basic whopper meal

    $51.

    When did a number one start costing $17 each? Fuuuuuuck that. I paid it knowing full well that that was the last time I’m ever eating fast food, unless its a pair of freshly made deluxes from Dick’s in Seattle.

    Fools trying to charge sit down pricing for their cut rate food, poverty wages and phenolic benches. Fucking, never. I’m all for millennials killing the fast food industry, c’mon guys, let’s get on that.

      Yeah totally, I swore off mcds (even though I only eat it once every 6 months, hate myself, then crave it again) once I saw that a single big-mac went up to $8.99 (just the burger!) And it has just increased since

      It’s fucking madness
