DQ tried to get me to "donate" some money to some charity thing by offering me coupons and I thought much the same thing when I turned them down.

Great fries usually get fried twice, once at a lower temperature to cook them through and again at a higher temperature to crisp them up. Fries that are frozen usually get fried once at the factory at the lower temperature, and then the final fry at the store to get them crispy. If fries only get fried once, it's difficult to crisp them up without over/undercooking them, so your choice is to have crisp, overcooked fries if cooked at a lower temperature, crisp, undercooked fries if they are done at a high temperature, or fries that are properly cooked on the inside but lacking crispness if they are cooked through at a lower temperature and pulled before the outside gets crispy. It's a display of french fry noobery to act like fresh cut fries are automatically better, without a double fry, they probably suck.

The double fry and being frozen in between is very important, here's a great article for those that are interested- http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/...nch-fries.html

had jack in the box for the first time today and was underwhelmed. sourdough burger (terrible, seriously the worst burger patty i've ever had), curly fries which were decent, and 2 tacos that were edible, and probably what i should have expected for 50c each.

Loses points for not using bacon flour in the bun though.

I went to Salsaritas for lunch today and I know that people ITT have raved about the magical drink station at other places with the 100+ possibilities of drinks but honestly it just confuses the **** out of people.

Peach Sprite here. Not enough peach drink/soda options in the world IMO.

Either Sunday or Monday, Chick-Fil-A will offer a peach shake...

It replaces the banana pudding shake.

On that note, I feel like for some reason Michigan is the only state I've seen where you can find Rally's or Checkers that aren't in the middle of the hood.
