In-N-Out

You're doing it wrong.

Disagree. Soggy fries. Average burger. Really long lines (at least at the ones in Colorado). No thanks.
^This.

In-N-Out is a notch above Burger King.  Nowhere near the hype it gets.

Wow, your Burger King is hitting far above average. Most BKs are pretty disappointing experiences.

Heh.  Then that just drags In-N-Out down further.

I'm a teetotaler and have been around those who are drunk.  Whatever the self perception, yeah, being drunk is overrated.

Burger King is the Reggie Jackson of fast food; lots of swagger, many swings and misses. But sometimes they nail it just absolutely right.

I like the idea of Burger King with a 'fro jammed under a cap.

BK is one restaurant that is trying so hard to look like the late 70s, as far as color scheme and return to their 70s logo and theme song. And their You Rule commercials are annoying.  Sounds like a college jock who majored in basket weaving is attempting a singing career.

When they switched to the circular, tilted logo with brighter interiors in the late 90s, they started looking like a decent restaurant that was keeping with the times, only to revert back.

Maybe it has to do with familiarity, but I like Burger King much more than the common alternatives around here (McDonald's, Wendy's, and Hardee's).

Everything that becomes old becomes new again eventually.  Personally I prefer the older/simpler branding designs.

Throwing a couple of thoughts into the steak-versus-burgers discussion:

*  If you don't think there is such a thing as a bad burger, you must have forgotten (or been spared) the experience of a 1980's school cafeteria.

[...]

On the other hand, I don't recall having a good steak at a 1980s school cafeteria either.

I never liked the Burger King's "new" logo with the blue swirl.  Glad they brought the old one back.

True, unless it was either a "Salisbury Steak" (basically a hamburger covered with gravy) or a "Chicken Fried Steak" (a piece of shoe leather meat hammered to within an inch of its life, then breaded and deep fried).

As for multi-user restrooms, call me old-fashioned, but I'd be very embarrassed to have loud gas and a foul smell accompanying a bowel movement if women were in the same room. I've been married for nearly 27 years and I'm still not comfortable with letting flatulence slip in the presence of my wife. Not long after we were married, I bent over to pick something up and accidentally ripped one, and I've been ashamed of that ever since.

I wouldn't want unisex bathrooms because of a similar reason. I would hate it to be in the bathroom and to hear somebody take a loud and smelly shit, and when they come out of the stall it is a hot woman. I don't want to see, hear or smell that.

Eric Clapton

I find the vast majority of blues rock guitarists, especially from the 1960s and 1970s, to be boring and vapid. It's generic and has been done over and over so many times that it is just superfluous. If I'm going to listen to a bluesy rock guitarist, it's going to be somebody like Josh Homme (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age), who mixes the two genres in a unique and original way. But guys like Clapton just make me want to listen to something else.

I firmly disagree. I think the You Rule commercials are very effective, and not just because they went down well in the online meme community.

The general rule about Burger King is this: Good BKs are hard to find, but when you find a good one, it's pretty good.

From 1920-1967, Canadian silver coins were 80%. From 1967-1968, they were 50%. Some silver 1967 coins were 80%, some were 50%.

I am the opposite. I prefer the blue circle logo.

Also, Burger King is one of the best fast foods and is significantly better than Mc Donald's. Especially the French fries are much better at Burger King.

It really depends on the location. The one remaining Burger King in Norman is far worse than the one that I worked at, which closed a few years ago.

I liked their old fries a lot better than the ones they have now, although I ate so many of them when I worked there that I stopped being able to taste them at all.

I dunno, either logo is fine. And honestly, I couldn't care less when the Whopper with cheese is one of the best fast food burgers I ever ate.
