    Having dealt with BK Corp for years, most of the 'talented' management has been replaced with fresh MBAs that work for far less (especially in this economy when any job is a good job to them). Corp financials are in much better shape than years ago, but the franchisees still have a death grip on their wallets.

    Aren't they awesome? If the franchises weren't saturated in my area, I'd seriously consider opening one up myself.

    Since this post went up I've been meaning to mention Culvers... I had my first burger there last week... It was excellent.

    Send me a PM and I'll give you the coordinates.

    But in the meantime, you can get a "Butter Burger" at any Culver's. They actually slather butter on the burger patty as it's frying. And they have deep fried cheese curds - I like the chipotle style myself, but they only do that around Cinco-de-Mayo.

    So what about the Libertarian burger? Armadillo?

    The TEA Party burger? Rattlesnake meat?

    The cool thing about Chick-fill-a was they weren't the ones calling for the campaign. I believe it was a Fox News host who made the original callout and it just struck a cord with "us" and we acted by calling everybody we know.

    The problem here is that it's an ad campaign. It looks like a ad campaign, it sounds like a ad campaign and for a number 4 or 5 rate product it will go over like a 10th ranked product. IMO

    We have an old fashioned drive up burger stand where the car-hops still wear roller skates. And the fries are still deep fried in old fashioned hydrogenated oil.

    Going to the A&W drive-in when I was a kid was a big deal... something cool about those hanging window trays and those super thick glass rootbeer mugs.

    We had this place called the Dream Drive-IN. Only open in the summer. We ordered burgers piled with lettuce, onion, tomato and the fries were those thin, perfectly cooked ones that came in little boat baskets. topped off with a shake. It was a toss up to go to Dream Drive In or across the street to the A&W, not to be confused with A&W today...

    Yes. And it undermines the meaning of the word, making it a world equivalent to "Fantastic" in Wisconsin or "Brilliant" in the UK.

    And Freedom Toast. Every time I saw one of those I made a point to tell the manager that they wouldn't be getting my business. It was a BS act to try to subvert "Freedom" for whatever was not in political vogue as determined by the PTB. They also subverted "Patriot" the same way, too bad it wasn't just an act... but at least the sheeple bought into it hook, line, and stinker.

    Every time I saw that, I was thinking of George Orwell's Victory Gin, Victory Coffee, or Victory Cigarettes. Every one left a bad taste in my mouth...

    To go back in time and experience when we had a little freedom and ate whatever we wanted? Yes, I would. The probability of a time-travel machine is nil, so we are really saying I will never consider murder.
