Old Man Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Does Sadako call you when you finish eating it and inform you that you only have seven days left to live? That thing would kill you in seven hours, not seven days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I only hope she was able to keep it down, because all that meat coming back up wouldn't be fun at all. I'm sort of glad they didn't do that in the US. (Insert your own joke about good or bad taste here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it isn't officially available in the U.S., I heard that some Burger Kings will make you a Windows 7 burger (though you may have to print out an ad or something for the Japanese Windows 7 burger to show them what you want.) Ah, here's the article I was looking for: So there you have it. According to the YouTube description, the burger is supposed to be only available in Japan, but our hero printed an article about it from Gizmodo, brought it to the restaurant and BK was happy to make one for him. It cost $9.19 before tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of a "vegetarian burger" that has no meat pattie, and a "low-carb burger" that has no bun (I'll bet that's messy!) Next time I have money I'll stop in my local Burger Palace* and discuss off-menu orders with the manager. If I get something of interest, I'l;l report back here. *Not an actual chain.

lemming Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore On the Starbucks – The Red Eye, I've often ordered extra shots thrown in. What got people wondering was when I ordered eight shot Americano's. (Normal is four). I did ten once just to freak someone out. A little too strong. I may get the Grilled Cheese at In-N-Out next time I swing by. When I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1982, I made fries dipped in the seasonings and those turned out well.

They had a drink called the Pinball - 6 shots of esspresso. I consistently ordered "2 Pinballs in one cup" that they finally added a Super Pinball - 12 shots of esspresso. I may still be on that caffeine high come to think of it. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the vegan burger come with a Gradneburger or similar patty, or no patty at all? The Burgerville chain in the Northwest does in fact continue to serve Gardenburgers (a spicy black bean variety is a feature on the current menu). I don't know if they have a secret menu, though. They used to have a fry sauce so renowned that they sold it in jars -- I wonder what happened to it, as now they just have ketchup on the tables. I iomagine they could make you a double patty Tillamook Cheddar Burger is you asked politely, but that too would be a lot of meat. They can make seven-layer Whoppers work because the patties are so thin. Burgerville's patties are thicker, which makes them seem meatier at the same weight.

OddHat Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore A true Vegan burger would have to be made without butter, cheese or any other animal products. Of course, considering how much of what burger chains pass off as food is flavored and colored corn syrup, that might not be a problem. Or, a Vegan burger could be made of Vegans. That might be OK. Or it could be imported from Vega, or Vegas, but that would just start to get silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to make a similar drink with vodka, Kahlua and Irish cream. I called it "Smoggy skies over Los Angeles". The only thing I didn't like about it was that If I drank more than a couple, I'd fall over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore There are a number of vegan burgers, but they are outnumbered by vegetarian burgers. The vegetarian ones usually have whey or eggs that disqualify the vegan label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
