The Fast Food Thread

It's literally only in Indianapolis, Indiana. It's some weird test market thing. The website I linked a few pages back, Brand Eating, shows a lot of these test items and they're in weird as shit places.

For instance, apparently @Regime could be out there testing some fucking Chik Fil A burgers right now!

Test meeee companies god damn it.

Culinary wasteland.

Shockingly enough, the Cheesy Street Chalupas were a disappointment. I got 2 orders of 2 with steak for like $12. They're easily the smallest item I've ever seen. The chalupas were almost the same size as their old empanadas. The fried shell with cheese between it and a tortilla was good, but the inside was just a fountain of jalapeno ranch sauce. Sauce was good, but the problem was I opened them up and there were a bunch of diced white onions on the outside and I was pumped, but then when I bit in there were like 0. It was just meat and sauce.

Overall I don't know, I'd say they were like a 6/10. If they actually loaded it with the right ingredients they'd MAYBE be worth 2 for $5 but it definitely felt more like a 2 for $4 situation. You're better off getting a normal chalupa for the $4.50 or whatever and probably getting more out of it. It also took them like 5-10 minutes to cook the fuckers which were very warm so I'm pretty sure they're not coming back as they seem to be a hassle with the way they had to deep fry them in an unsual order or something.

Tried this.

Bubble gum raspberry cotton candy or something. Time to drop Nvidia stock if this is the best AI can come up with.

I can't stand HFCS anymore so options are limited most places. Basically order of taste is this.

Well maintained fountains with quality water (like 1% of locations)
Mexican coke with ice
Coke zero
Diet coke
Regular coke

In practice that means coke zero.

Going Zero really changed the soft drinks I like. I used to be mainly Coke/Pepsi but they have the worst aftertaste for me. Dr. Pepper, Squirt, Sprite, and A&W root beer have become my usuals now.

I really like the taste of Mountain Dew Zero but it's kind of hard to find.

Code Red Zero is a myth.

Found a flavor of Turtle Chips I hadn’t seen before. Injeolmi flavor. Not my favorite, but it’s got a subtle peanut butter flavor that’s still nice.
I’m still on the lookout for the sweet vanilla…can’t find it anywhere.

Sweet vanilla is okay, I think the Churro is the best flavor when they've been in the fridge. Classic are also banging.

Any thoughts on sunflower seeds? I spend a lot of time at work driving and gum helps me stay awake and ears popped for an elevation change, but chewing gum as a bearded man feels like a revocation of my man card. Was thinking maybe sunflower seeds would be more manly, but haven't had any in probably 20 years.

My problem with sunflower seeds, was it was annoying to break open and can be messy(imagine spit soaked pieces of shell in your beard). Also all the flavor was in the shell, so if I got say ranch ones, I would suck on the shell to get that flavor then get to a bland seed in the middle. If I got seed only bags, they were always just super salted to give it flavor. I dunno, maybe they make just seeds now that are flavored?

You can’t chew gum because you’re a man with a beard? What kind of fucked up childhood did you have?
