First deployment...15 months....Dairy Queen burger.....O...M...G

Back when I actually ate the poison that is fast food, I pretty much liked it all. None of it tasted bad.

I did, however, once order a Wendy's double cheeseburger. When I opened it up, it was SO soggy due to the condiments/moisture/grease, that the bread was like a soaked sponge. I basically threw the whole burger out and I never went back ever again because the thought of the soppy bread made me sick to my stomach. Imagine what it would have been like to bite in to that? A mouthful of disgusting spongy wet bread. Blegh. A gift from Nurgle that gak was.

Man I haven't eaten any fast food in about a year and a half. Last time I did I got a burger king rodeo cheeseburger and got food poisoning for the next 3 days. I literally don't understand how so much muck was able to come out of both ends simultaneously after not eating for 36 hours.

Since then my life has been much better and I've lost some weight and yet to get sick like that again. It's to the point where I'd rather starve than eat McDonald's or burger king or Wendy's or Taco Bell or any sort of fast food really.

Although I will say there is an exception and that is in'n'out. I will not and can not turn down a double double animal style with fries. But I sort of feel like they aren't even fast food because of the quality. Although I live clear across country from the closest one so I don't really eat there like ever.

I got salmonella poisoning from a chicken sandwich from Jack in the Box about seven years ago. I was laid up on the couch for about six days, with it physically impossible for me to keep down food.

Easily the worst fast food experience of my life.

Had Domino's pizza twice and both times it's given me the two-bob bits. Luckily there's a Pizza Hut closer to me that is better quality, and independent takeaways around that serve the same pizzas for half the cost.

When I was around 18 I had special fried rice and pork something or other from a local Chinese takeaway.

I was so sick that I lost over a stone in weight in a week, hallucinated and had two doctor visits I don't remember, couldn't hold down water and could not stand up for two days of the 10 days I was very very ill.

Recently I had a salmon dish at a Ruby Tuesdays (thought I'd eat healthy...) and about 2 hours later was enjoying it vacate the premises either end at high speed and with extreme prejudice.

The culinary highlight of my visit to San Diego was the deep fried chalupa at Taco Bell. Just incredible. No wonder the US citizen has a reputation for being hefty.

Worst was the food poisoning I got from a blueberry chicken salad from Wendy's. Two days of squirting from both ends. My own fault, I know. Salad, what was I thinking?

Gas station cheeseburger in a vending machine. Scraped the mould off and all was good. About 2 hours later though after I ate some Starburst fruity things I garnered explosive bowel movements .... feth Starbursts right in the fruity squares they are.

I see two candidates to win the Golden Window Screen Awards

Agreed.

As to my worst fast food experience: Taco Bell and Chipotle. I made the mistake of trying a Taco Bell burrito with cheese sauce, and vomited shortly after. I have also never had a good burrito at Chipotle, despite eating at many different locations many times; the ingredients are never evenly distributed.

Best fast food experiences: Jimmy Johns, Panera Bread, Subway, and Little Caesar's.

The Chipotle solution is to order a burrito bowl and ask for the tortilla on the side; they always end up giving you more in the bowl for the same price and you're then free to properly mix the ingredients


Denny's, for whatever reason, always gets me much much more closely acquainted with my toilet than I'd ever like...

When working: I am 5 minutes to closing and someone orders a burger. Ok, but we have no Lettuce, onion or pickles so it is dry. I take it she then yells at me. I tell her there are none left, she goes balisstic. I get her tomatos and put it on her plate and she yells at me saying her burget is ruined because of my dity hands, which i just hands
As a Customer: A new Pizza place opens up 5 minutes from here. I go, First I pay on an Ipad and have to sign it. and I dont get a physical receipt but it texted to me. I pay 6$ for a small soda and a piece of pizza, 15 minutes later it arrives.....You know those mutant not fully grown slices of pizza that come from a full pie? I get that and it tastes like gak

I am 14. I go to a mcdonalds at a food court and order a single cheese burger, should be $2. she looks at me, then looks back at the computer. then she turns and talks to the manager, and he looks at me. they walk over and ask if I have $222, I say no. they proceed to YELL at me for wasting their time by making a prank order of 100 cheeseburgers. WHAT. THE. FETH.
I mean, seriously. my mum's boy friend shows up and pretty much calls them slowed, it was hilarious.
also, subway meatball sub on herbs and cheeses with no salid is the bast. period.
reading some of these im a bit scarred, im planning on applying for a job at a pizza place soon.

Worst fast food experience you ask? Maybe I'm weird, but I worked in a Sonic manning the grill for three months in the middle of summer in North Carolina. With. No. Air. Conditioning.

Panera Bread

I hear Demeter herself imparted the bread they sold to start up a business oriented around cheapo but all around decent sandwiches

I worked for a local Pizza take out shop, locally owned, not a domino's or anything. We were having very heavy rains and the river behind the building ended up overflowing and flooding into the shop, parking lot, and roadway. Shortly after, we lost power do to a short by the electrical panel at the rear of the building so we lost power to everything except the ovens since they are gas powered and the phones...

We continued delivering until 7:00PM when our flashlight batteries died...

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

My work - Burger King. Seeing exactly what goes in the bacon at Burger King. It is LITERALLY the offcuts from the short and rasher bacon, reground up and sliced.

Eating - KFC. a bout of food poisoning so severe I got dehydrated, wasn't able to eat or drink and ended up going to hospital to get an IV put in, and fluid. Still was vomiting after about ten days.

Panera was also one of the first companies to voluntarily post nutritional information in restaurants, so the divine order angle also works.

As a rule, Arby's is not worth going to, because everything they serve sucks. EVERYTHING.

But overall worst experience is the night I shared (and bonded) with my girlfriend after a trip to McDonald's.

We had JUST moved into my friends house, and didn't feel like cooking and they were closest place to get already made "food"

Within a couple hours she is in the bathroom. About 3 hours after that, I join her. We take turns in and out of the bathroom and with the garbage can (sometimes will both). Luckily by early morning the vomiting and explosive water cannon that was our rear ends was over, just a long day of cramps and sleeping.

It was the ONLY time I have gotten sick from food. I used to eat there 3-4 times a week (not that location). Never has vomiting been so violent that I pulled muscles in my back. My girlfriend had a few blood vessels in her face pop.

She won't go back to most fast food places (the kind with a drive thru). I wanted a McDouble the next day. Also have had my first experience with Burger King in like 2 years after that.

Which reminds me of the actual worst experience. When Burger King got rid of chicken fries, the A1 steak house burger, and their actual good fries all around the same time. That is the reason I stopped going there until a recent trip with a buddy. Everything I love they tear away from me.

My worst experience was at Wendy's. The burger I was served had something on it that looked like a brown branch instead of lettuce, the meat tasted like rubber and the bun was a wet sponge. Just around awful, never again.

I would say McDonalds but they don't actually serve food.

I once bought a little Cesar hot n ready that was bad some where. I spent the next 2 days puking my guts out with the added ting of spicy pepperoni after taste

Being that' I'm vegetarian I don't really have problems with Fast food. My normal meal from a fast food place is large choc shake and 2 large fries. That being said Arby's Curly Fries are magnificent. And their milkshakes are of good size for the price.

Those with explosives situation. Eat peanut butter. MRE peanut butter is way better for an blockage

For a second, I thought you meant Peanut butter would stop real explosives

Well its non conductive...

Panera is also only "eh" food and it's expensive. Once was enough. My wallet felt dirty after eating there.

You know that the shake (and the fries) have meat fat made in with them. At least at McDonalds. Short of getting one of their meatless salads and a carbonated beverage, you aren't avoiding meat-you just don't know it.

One thing I will say about McDonalds. The food in general sucks, with notable exceptions being McMuffins and their ice cream. I can't get enough of their McMuffins and the ice cream is so smooth.
