Froot loops and enhanced in the same sentence. Heh
Yes, I’m quite the Renaissance man, ain’t I?
Don’t care for fries either.
I love Burger King as much as I hate McDonalds. Not only do I love a Whopper Jr., I have refused to go into MdD’s because of their pretentious ‘touch screen’ and the hired help schlepping your food to your table. Trying to make themselves into something ‘modern’, I guess, when Ronald the grotesque red-vinyl-hair freak is still what I think going there…not that I have to worry about actually walking inside, maybe for years.
touch screen ordering is great because you don’t have to talk to a human being
Instead I get the pleasure of touching a filthy screen with god knows what all over it.
I like it too, because I can wipe my snotty fingers off on the screen.
- not actually true. For me.
When were whoppers 99 cents?
When I go, I always use a coupon. Whoppers are BOGO, which makes them about ~$2 each.
~1995
I remember 95 or 96 being a young college student, Whoppers were 99 cents, you could buy Arby’s roast beef sandwiches cheap (I think 5 for $4) and Taco Bell was selling crunchy tacos for something crazy like 40 cents each. I was in literal poverty and was living off stuff like that.
Those were all promotional prices too, they were unusually cheap even back then. Once the promotions ended the prices went up a lot. (Not as much as now but you have to contend with 25 years of inflation.)
Ah ok.
I don’t recall burger king prices since my home town didn’t have a burger king until the aughts.
But I do remember McDaonalds and Hardees has some awesome hamburger and cheeseburger deals in the 90s.
I think Hardees had 3 hamburgers for $1 and McDonalds sometimes had hamburgers for $0.29, cheeseburgers for $0.39 when they had promotions. A giant bag full of McDonalds hamburgers and cheeseburgers for $6.
What really sucks is that you were probably charged 50¢ or so for that cheese. The default is no cheese; cheese is extra. This might contribute to why you were misunderstood.
