What is the point of fast food anymore

[email protected]

Ah yes, Five Guys. Where the fries turn into a pile of greasy mush if not eaten within the first five minutes your order is ready. But you've completed that task, you're now full-up on fried potato, but now your burger is cold or at best half eaten. Nobody should have to eat with the gusto of a professional contestant just to make the most of things. It's a meal that conspires against itself, every single time.

If you skip the fries, the burgers are actually pretty good and can enjoy it at any pace.

You figure "accente" should be "l'accente"? Then it would be "the the accent".

I'm sorry you're too used to frozen preserves potatoes from Sysco or other manufacturers of potato-like rectangles to appreciate real fries.

When I can buy like a large 5 top pizza for as much as a single fast food combo, i know which I'll choose.

Where are you shopping? Only having a 5lb bag of jasmine rice is weird.

Just use powdered instead of the fresh herbs. I would consider doubling up on most spices if you are using powdered.

Garlic and ginger both can be frozen. They also last a good while, so you can keep them in your fridge

I'm trying to get myself together too (though not nearly as impressive as your method). I'm writing down everything I spend, from a soda, or groceries, to rent. I quickly saw I was spending, like, to the penny of my check,, and saw I wasted a good $200 on just bullshit. I'm trying to put on my big girl panties and get it together. Whenever I saw no to something, I've been putting it in a savings account. Like, "eh, I can make dinner at home." Okay, then that $15 for the cheeseburger that you were okay with is now going into savings.

My goal is to end this year without debt. School, credit card, all of it. Tired of it lol

Yeah… I only do fast food using apps and only go if there’s a good enough “discount”(quotes because it’s really what the prices should be anyway, obvs.).

You don’t know what a brk bcntr is?! What is this world coming to when people can’t figure out the POS POS’ extremely shortened words?!

Breakfast Baconator. 670 calories of greasy bacon sausage and cheese on a bun.

I think accent is spelt without the trailing "e" in french

You figure “accente” should be “l’accente”?

50 USD for 2 people to eat at five guys. Case closed

Ah, I see. It's moreso like "people from this location put currency symbols after numbers" not specifically dollar signs. Like, we put currency symbols before the numbers in American English eg "Oh, that's $12.00" or "Oh, that's €12.00." A german, writing in dutch, would write "Oh, das sind 12,00 $" or "Oh, das sind 12,00 €."

...about $30, you mean. I mean if you're trying to go for 2k+ kcal per person you'd hit 50+,but a normal person would have a hard time eating more than 15$ of five guys.

The Jimmy Johns app is atrocious in this regard.

"Buy 16 sandwiches this month for free cookie!"

Fucken nerds.

It's comfortable, but also the salt they sprinkle on there must be a narcotic substance of some kind.

That said, McDonald's vs an OK sit-down restaurant are roughly the same price here. The latter is going to have better food - generally - but Mickey D will be more consistent, have the ability to order without talking to anyone, has a drive-thru, can order home (SOME restaurants don't do it here for some reason, most do luckily)... Basically, the fast food will win in all factors of convenience, but you won't feel as satisfied after eating it.

I've done that most of my adult life and yeah even just pasta with jarred sauce is so much cheaper, better, and healthier than fast food.

Your next big level up may be realizing that exercise doesn't suck nearly as much as the feeling of being out of shape

I got a double cheeseburger platter from a BBQ place

Are you even allowed to do that?
