    Look at those tiny ketchup packets. Dear god could you imagine those people here in the US having to deal with that when they normally use a god damn drink lid to pile ketchup onto?

    French fries should be 60% ketchup or malt vinegar by volume, it's law.

    Man I bet those packets have more ketchup in them than our usual packets.

    Also when they switched a lot of fast food places to those obnoxious dip and squeeze packets instead of the old ones, the restaurants started getting cheap and only giving one packet when you go through the drive through and what the fuuuuuuuuck.

  • bowenbowen How you doin'? Registered User regular
    I usually just park, go inside and grab a giant handful of ketchup packets.

    I also bought some of these:

    So if they only have the pump stations I can fill 'em on up.

    Whenever I eat in at mcd's or wendys, I always get ketchup for the fries.
    But whenever I take out I prefer not having ketchup.
    It's odd.

    Those are the packets I was talking about!

    They fucking suck! Restaurants will only give you one at the drive thru for an entire large fry! “But it’s the equivalent of three of the old packs” shut up that’s enough for like half an order of fries!

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    Those packets are awesome when they actually have it enough of them. Only Wendy's used to have them though and they switched back to the shitty ones that have enough ketchup for a single fry.

  • BrainleechBrainleech 機知に富んだコメントはここにあります Registered User regular
    Mc'ds is the only one around here that doesn't hand them out

    The Ketchup burger king had before was good now it's adequate.

    If you're in japan and want fast food burgers you should be going to Lotteria or Mos Burger man. They're so much more interesting than McDonalds.

    When I was in Japan for my honeymoon, I got a really bad throat infection and had to go to the hospital for IV antibiotics, then right after we went to Mos Burger and it made me feel so much better.

    Yep. Typical Aussie tomato sauce packets from fast food places look like this:

    and they hold half an ounce of sauce.

    Ok my wife says that the wrapper says it's a "Moon Viewing" burger.

    20160902%2BMcDonald%2527s%2BTsukimi%2BBurger%2B25%2BYears.png

    the wrapper says Tsukimi, which refers to a fall tradition of looking at the moon because it's extra big. Specifically looking at the moon's reflection in a pond??

    There are specific foods and iconography related to Tsukimi, including eggs (because the yolk looks like the moon) and rabbits (because there's folklore about a rabbit that lives on the moon)

    so Tsukimi Burgers are a range of special burgers that have a fried egg on them, and they're decorated with a rabbit because it's part of the season.

    The rabbit on the moon makes more sense than the man on the moon. It never looked like a person to me.

    Okay Thats just wrong. Not because of the concept, but because those eggs are obviously completely cooked. It's not a fried egg on a burger unless the yoke is soft and pops, making the sandwich into a sticky, gooey, runny, delicious mess as soon as you pick it up.

    update: the korean bbq place was really good and we ate a whole lot

    it was a Korean chain called 678 owned by a comedian, and they had a wall of celebrity signatures, but it was also incredibly high quality. Like, they had their own in-house butcher and all the cuts were just exquisite, and it was cool because they had a whole room full of furnaces to heat up the coals they used, and also it had some of the best sides. They had this scrambled egg dish that was just the most incredibly light and fluffy mix and it was just divine.

    also got to try a "German-Style" Korean beer which was pretty nice, as well as pork jowls

    Well my view is basically if you can't do something the way its suppose to be done (Baring where you are specifically trying to do something new), then you shouldnt half-ass it.

    It was mostly a joke but Americans typically use way more ketchup that that. I was not kidding about regularly seeing people use large drink lids to pour a massive amount of ketchup onto them.

    Applebee's has a fried egg burger that's pretty good. Something to keep in mind if you're going for the dollar margaritas.

  • bowenbowen How you doin'? Registered User regular
    Red Robin also has an option with an egg on the burger, probably one of my favorites from them.
