If you're in line at Burger King, your life's already in kind of a dystopian place as it is. Clearly, several things have gone wrong for you to end up here.

Hah, a line a burger king.

No other fast food chain here (we don’t have that many options) has as many vegetarian options, so if I crave a cheap mediocre burger it will probably be Burger King.

I don't need to be a Burger King consumer (which I'm not) to consider this news a dystopia.

I prefer Burger King over most restaurants.

I'm probably going to order a burger anyways so I don't see the need to pay extra for a fancy one that I need a knife and fork to eat when I can get just as tasty burger from BK.

Burger King where you live must be a hell of a lot better than the ones near me.

With them being a franchising you sorta expect that

Or I just have cheap taste buds. While to other people food is a pleasure to me it's fuel.

[–] Anemia@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I think you care food-pleasure just as much as most people. Otherwise why not eat something healthier, faster or cheaper. I like to think that i didn't use to care much about taste before so for lunch i used to eat 1k kkcal in the form of a unflavoured, unsweetened meal replacement shake, took <5 min to prepare+eat+clean.

They mail 5$ coupons for 2 wopper meals. It's hard to pass up.

The real reason to go is the Bitties in the BK Lounge.
