Burger King in Spain decided to jump on the whole blind box craze popularized by Labubu and is now selling Mystery menus. Yes, you don't know what burger you are going to get. You can now gamble on food.

Is it just me or is that a little bit fucked up? What are they going to invent next? Mystery bag of groceries? Random amount of gas when refueling?
Bad for people with food allergies...
I think the idea is stupid too, but if you know you have a food allergy and willingly walk into problem areas... imagine knowing you have reactions to pickles, but you don't order no pickles on something that comes with pickles, hoping that maybe they'll forget this one time. YOLO?
Bad for people who don't want to become obese and die too.
Most of the time, I choose the smallest offering when I go out because even that’s more than enough. I don’t think I would be happier with a triple bacon monstrosity.
Some of the stuff Wendy's does is obscene.

Obscenely awesome.
I think the lack of veggies is worse than the excess of meat. This way it just sits in your colon causing cancer.

You're an idiot woth a death wish if you have food allergies and are going to a fast food place. Everything contaminates everything in those kitchens.
Might vary by restaurant and managerial staff, but on my days in MacDonald an order with allergy notice would be handled by an experienced member who would open new bag of everything.
They were a chore, but very rare.
Seriously. All the regulations and corpo speak in the world doesn't change that working conditions are absolutely shit and the employees are doing less than the bare minimum because they are being paid less than the bare minimum.
As someone with celiac disease, I never expect a ton of legit options at a restaurant so this feels like a weird take. Much less a fast food restaurant.
