Fuck the McRib, tell Burger King to give me back my Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch and my Spicy Tendercrisp sandwich.

I died inside when I found out they canceled the Spicy Tendercrisp.

We have. Group hug?

Also, they never even released the McRib here in Australia, so y'know... I haven't even experienced this joy.

You both totally missed Ribwhich Tour 2000, there's none left now and the last one was swapped for a fast car so you won't be making it to the spelling bee either.

rero please stop making simpsons references, this is a serious discussion about fast food.

I'm a big fan of Subway, apparently America doesn't have 24 hour subways? I have TWO near me, I can get subway whenever i want, and that's often!

I enjoy the PIZZA sub the most, the parmijina or whatever one is also quite nice.

i used to love TIM HOURTENS or whatever when I lived in canada, especially the donut holes called TIDBITS

we have krispy kreme in sydney now (not here though) and they are so good but i cant eat them anymore because i seriously put on a shit tonne of weight last time i went there.

australians, help me think of good aussie fast food chains to share with the americans

hungry jacks doesnt count

even though they are better than mcdonalds

Where do you live, Wingedassassinsnineteeneightyfour? I'm all up in Perth, so that may have something to do with it. I went to Sydney a while back (and am off again tomorrow, rock out) and I noticed that the McDonalds there had like a million things that we never got. So chances are that if it (the McRib) appeared in the Eastern states we might not have got it!

That or like, it did appear in WA, and I was like, comatose from an extreme ping-pong accident.

There are like no 24-hour restaurants in Western Australia because the whole state shuts down at 5pm on the dot and we fucking love it that way WE ARE SO SCARED OF CHANGE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE.

At any rate, uh, good fast food chains. We don't have many. Uh.. .Nandos? I like Nandos. Is it Australian?

My Boost shut down to make way for a Boost Juice (?). Same thing happened with the sushi place I would not touch if you threatened me with violence. Now there are chairs where the Boost is so no fresh juice for me ;_(

Boost Juice is hella nice, but hella expensive. And the chicks who serve it (or flamingly effeminate guys) are irritiatingly chirpy. Like annoying. They get paid to snort crack out of sight of the customer, I am sure of it.

HJ's is better than McD's but they are slower. Well the ones I have been to are and one of those was a Burger King. Forget waiting on that I will just go elsewhere I will not put up with that kind of jive.

They are just as fast as maccas in my territory. Well maybe a little slower but that's because everything isn't PRE-MADE like at maccas.

Also tell that Burger King to get the fuck out of town, this is Jack's territory.

Starbucks is also a place I will not wait for. I can go to the DCM that is just a half minute walk away and get my coffee almost instantly. And it tastes better.

Beetroot is about as Australian as beef. If they really wanted to make a burger Australian it would have kangaroo meat in it and maybe a deepfried witchetygrub. Delicious.

Hey Cycle I just wanted to say I've been admiring your signature for like since I joined up here man, it's great. It hypnotises me.

Cycle I once went to a hell of bad HJ's. Drinks on the floor, pickles like everywhere and the food was cold after I had waited fifteen minutes for my food. And it was fucking wet. To hell with jive of that magnitude I ate at McD's across the street whilst staring at them with my dagger eyes.

They really did taste like meat pie didn't they. So freaky but so delicious.

Didn't they have a ham and mustard as well? I think?
