When visiting England a few years ago, I saw the sign for Wimpy on the M20 and it brought back childhood memories, so I had to stop to get one.
Normally, when I eat something bad, it takes a few hours to kick in. This burger had me feeling nauseous the minute I finished.

Have you ever noticed that drive-by ATMs at the bank have braille on the keys?
/Probably a logical reason for that.

I think it was "Wimpy Burgers twice, 1 MR, 1 well, heavy on the onions".

Maybe the standard ATM is produced *with* the Braille inscriptions, and it would be too much work to remove them from those machines that are to be installed in drive-throughs?

I suck at grammar and even *I* know that sentence is non-correct.

Did anyone else see the hair on the tweezers? Gross. I enjoyed the reactions to the braille burgers though.

Wow! The Rand ain't what it used to be. Some of the bigger burgers approach R60.

I'm sure you'll tell me that
Pink's
hot dogs are great too.
In-N-Out
is okay, but definitely doesn't live up to the hype. If I want a plain burger but don't want to wait 7 minutes for it, I'll go to McDonald's and pay 89¢.
I like what I like, you like what you like, you'll get over it.

I used to eat occasional Wimpy burgers smothered in some kind of mysterious pink sauce. Not bad tasting at all although quality was horribly variable in terms of quality, consistency and cleaniness. One time it might be delicious, the next time you'd be picking gristle out of some flattened greaseburger. It's not surprising they became a has-been chain.
Most of the Wimpy sites got bought by Burger King when they entered the UK market leaving all the dross. The brand struggles on but it's basically a handful of restaurants scattered around.

As far as I know, it is legal for blind people to be goddamn passengers in cars. It's not rocket surgery, people.

I was at a McDonald's drive through once and was at the window picking up my order. On the window was a sign saying "Braille menus available for the visually impaired." It took me awhile to figure out most of the problems with that:
1. The sign was at the drive through. Presumably there was a sighted driver who could have read the menu to the blind person in the car with them.
2. Assuming the driver was illiterate, the only way to know that there was a Braille menu was to read the sign stating so which an illiterate driver couldn't do.
3. The sign was at the place where you picked up your food after you had already ordered it, not where you would need to get the Braille menu to place your order.

Seriously? I was in California recently and went to In-n-Out since I've heard so much hype over the years. The burgers were greasy and flavorless, and the fries were undercooked and and had the taste and consistency of cardboard. The chocolate milkshake was the only redeeming part of the meal. Even my kids, who love burgers and fries, thought it was all pretty disgusting.

Nope, I wrote boobies for fun. I think filterpwn capitalizes it.

Can't have a burger thread without your token Californian babbling about how great In-n-Out is... given it is better than McDonalds, but there are so many better places than In-n-Out.

In N' Out is also unfortunately often very location-dependent. Not that I have eaten beef in 15 years, but enough people have told me the same thing that on a reasonably regular basis that I doubt it's changed much. Some locations just pretty much suck, others are pretty damn good. Bit of a lottery at first. The only tip I can pass on is try not to hit them during the ultra-busy periods, those are the times that corners start to get cut by people desperate the get the burgers out the door and into the hungry people sitting there waiting not so patiently.
P.S. And to get in before the "OMG it's a vegetarian kill it with bacon!" crowd, I don't eat beef because to me it tastes like shiate. Just about any other meat that doesn't end in wurst or consist of organs I'm cool with. I've always felt it's pretty simple, but for some reason I usually get a whole boatload of assumptions with the not eating beef statement. Probably because of the passive-aggressive numbskulls from PETA etc.
