Somewhere in the US, all of these establishments exist in less than a quarter-mile stretch.
McDonalds
Taco Bell
KFC
Burger King
Little Caesars
Applebees
Wendy’s
Starbucks
Dunkins
ChikFilA
Outback
Panera Bread
Sonic
IHOP
Ruby Tuesday
Waffle House
Bojangles
Golden Oak
Waffle House
They couldn't all exist within a ¼ mile stretch because the parking minimums in the zoning code would require these be spaced over like an entire mile at least lmao. Especially when considering the motels and fuel stations that'll be mixed in.
Non-Amerikan, here's my review of these:
McDonalds - been once when I was 12, I liked the toy
Taco Bell - never been
KFC - never been
Burger King - never been (which goes for all but McDonald's tbh) but I hope they use a king as mascot
Little Caesars - that's a stupid name
Applebees - what
Wendy’s - twitter :bird-screm-2:
Starbucks - never been but heard of :left-unity-2: going on
Dunkins - c/the_dunk_tank
ChikFilA - ( this one hates gays or smthing)
Outback - :aus-delenda-est:
Panera Bread - isn't that a dish?
Sonic - you made this one up
Ruby Tuesday - what
Waffle House - you def made this one up but it's funny
Bojangles - this is that horse Netflix show
Golden Oak - this sounds fancy , though white.
Applebees is real, it's just the food and drinks which are fake.
Little Caesar's is 10 dollar pizzas made of cardboard, one of those "you get what you pay for" situations
Dunkin' Donuts is what people outside of America think Americans eat for breakfast. Even the matcha tea has sugar in it. Their Bavarian Creme is great tho.
Sonic is a hamburger stand, and also has blue slurpee drinks.
Waffle House is not only real, it has a reputation for being open even during natural disasters or national emergencies.
So do they serve waffles at waffle house
What a fun word, waffle
Little Caesar’s is 10 dollar pizzas made of cardboard, one of those “you get what you pay for” situations
They used to be 5 :sadness:
used to be one of the best dollar for dollar, but they changed their sauce in the 2010s and have been terrible ever since.
Sonic is a drive-in, like those stereotypical American 1950's car hop diners. I'll catch hell from the south-of-the-Mason Dixon line crowd for saying this, but they're not as good as A&W, which is basically the same thing, but with actual edible slop. Sonic has a better selection of giant styrofoam tankards of various limeades and fizzy potions, while A&W serves root beer in frosty (read: chilled) glass tankards. Best fast food cheese curds you're going to find in the US, possibly only really challenged by Culver's.
Ruby Tuesday is a faux fine dining slop place where everything on the menu is a microwaved bag of hot brown. The roasted zucchini sides are decent, and the salad bar was OK back before plague times, but yeah... Not really worth the price for what you're getting.
Panera is a southern thrash/groove metal bistro-style restaurant renowned for their lead chef's racist antics and not loading most of their food with corn syrup and random preservatives. They also have baked goods, Five Minutes Alone, and flatbread pizzas. They're all right, but pricey for overglorified fast food, even if it's less terrible on your gut than, say, burgers, Anthrax, or Megadeth.
:feast: We have the best junk food, folks; more and more people are saying it, believe me
This is the "culture" for which white people literally killed an entire continent's worth of human beings
Here's my review of these, as an American.
McDonald's - bland but fine, good if you want something comfy.
Taco Bell - bad but open late, good if you're hammered.
KFC - terrible how the fuck is this place still in business.
Burger King - better than McDonald's and just as comfy.
Little Caesars - cheap as hell pizza, but used to be a lot better recently it's kinda shit.
Applebees - fine but too expensive for what you're getting.
Wendy’s - best of the "cheap burgers" crowd.
Starbucks - overpriced but comfy, great place to use the wifi if you get kicked out of your house and need to look for a nearby shelter or couch
Dunkins - I will never call Dunkin Doughnuts "Dunkin" that sounds like absolute shite.
ChikFilA - best of the "cheap chicken" crowd, but not quite good enough to be worth waiting an hour in line. known for funding anti-lgbt politicians but frankly every corporation does that.
Outback - fine but too expensive for what you're getting.
Panera Bread - bland and not comfy. maybe comfy for you if you have different childhood experiences than I've had.
Sonic - second rate Wienershnitzel.
IHOP - cheap and good, highly recommended.
Ruby Tuesday - fine but too expensive for what you're getting.
Waffle House - cheap and okay, mildly recommended.
Bojangles - used to be the best of the cheap burger crowd, now mid-tier.
Golden Oak - fine but too expensive for what you're getting.I'm sorry but Burger King is absolute gut-destroying trash, the worst of the national chains
so, bojangles and waffle house are specifically regional to the south, so i think these probably all exist within a quarter mile in like atlanta or maybe florida. i'd say maybe in texas, but honestly, there would be too much parking for that level of food density.
So uh, no ethical consumption and all that- but how safe is it to assume that anyone still working at Chickfilet sucks? Like, wasn't their anti-lgbt stance really big news? I'm struggling to imagine a single American who isn't aware of it in one way or another.
On the one hand that's the case and I wouldn't be surprised if they've attracted a lot of young chuds, but also I've heard that they treat their workers better than McDonalds and the like, so I'm sure there's a lot of people who work there even though they don't agree.
Chick fila is privately owned so the views of that family is more publicized than the views of the Mcdonalds shareholders. The executives/shareholders of all of these companies support anti lgbt politicians and policies
Yeah irdk why I didn't assume that. And the publicizing of those views just increased their profits so yeah I'll just settle on no ethical consumption.
