The BACONATOR
according to reliable internet sources, almost a third of people living in the U.S. are obese. in response to this alarming statistic, Wendy's decided to unleash upon the public, the leviathon known as "The Baconator". among the weapons in its arsenal are two 1/4 pound patties, two slices of american cheese, mayo(of course), and 6(SIX) slices of bacon. as if simply hearing the list of ingredients alone weren't enough to make you cry, this arterial terror delivers a punishing 840 calories with 23g saturated fat and 2.5 g of trans fat. holy shit. i actually had one of these a few months back. we were in a bar in arlington, and after last call we drunkenly decided to go to wendy's. from the back seat of brigitte's car i craned my neck in an attempt to locate my reliable number 2, big bacon classic value meal, but lo and behold it was not there. in its place, was the mighty Baconator; its massive, backlit form looming above. probably saying something like "fuck it, you only live once!" and with alcohol clouding my judgement, i ordered. i'll admit, it was tasty, but several bites in i was like "dude, i can't finish this motherfucker". not in the sense that it was impossible to do so, but more in the sense that i shouldn't finish it, given my innate sense of self-preservation. i don't recall who won that epic battle that night(probably Baconator), i can't remember a whole lot after my blood stopped moving and i started seeing things.
burger king's genius marketing team
the photograph above is a screenshot depicting a man being awaken by the burger king "king" who hands him a breakfast sandwich on a silver platter. this is just one sample of burger king's recent trend of having awesome commercials. i could post man, many pictures and videos, but for the sake of being concise, i will only put up a few videos, and try to explain why they're so good.
the king is such a giant ass. the fact that he has that perpetual smile makes it much better than if he were making any other facial expression. apparently, his assiness transcends time, for in the future, he is also a gigantic ass.
i have actually eaten the sandwich in this ad, and it's good. it does get old quickly though. the first time i ate it i thought it was delicious. the second time i made a quick stop in for a coffee and a little something before my 10a.m. class. it was tasty going down, but by 10:40, the honeymoon was over, and it had run through my system like Patton through north Africa.
the latest creations to be birthed from those amazing minds at burger king feature a new menu item, and someone really wanting it. this concept is really funny to me.
taco bell is awesome
i have nothing specific, or any recent memories that would be impetus to me writing about taco bell, but since fast food is the theme of this post, i have to say, taco bell is indeed awesome. it's cheap, quick, mexican and delicious. they also offer one of my favorite go-to purchases. the consistently delicious spicy chicken burrito.
somehow, tb managed to take something that costs like 35 cents to make, sell it to me for $1.29, and have me think that it tastes like it should cost 5 dollars. i am never let down by the flavor or value of this item, and it always reminds me of why i decided to make a run for the border. ¡que rico!, taco bell. me gusta.
