Fast Humor

So I'm not sure about you guys, but I've always been a fan of when fast food chains decide to be humorous. I don't want them to be inspirational, like say:

No, screw that. I go there to get a burger, not to fly a kite with my multicultural team of imagined inspiration and togetherness. That's why I like Burger King's old "Have it your way" campaign, where they just put a bunch of random stuff on all of their containers. Remember that? Here's a refresher, a sticker they put on their doors:

Well to my delight, I was at taco bell a while back, and I got this one jumbo XXL something something box deal. And after consuming most of my meal, I was examining the box and found this little gem on the bottom:

Why don't more places do this?

It's not just Costco, I guess.

I was out at Taco Bell, having lunch, wearing my Sounders FC shirt, because it's hella comfortable. A lady and her two kids walk in. One of them points at me and says:

Look, mom! A soccer ball!

Apparently, since I cut off my "long hairs", now all anyone can see is my big round head.

In Blackjack you could double your money

...But in a KFC, a Double Down could double your chance for a heart attack. Above is a (pretty crappy) picture of a half-eaten Double Down sandwich they started selling. It was one of those things that they revealed on April 1, but then we found out it wasn't a joke. Of course, I had to try one. It required finding our way to the KFC Taco Bell in the next town over, which was a pain in the ass because Moscow sucks and doesn't have coherent roads.

So it's 2 pieces of boneless chicken acting as the bun and containing 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of cheese, and ?? of mayo (I don't even know if it WAS mayo). Don't get me wrong, it was good... but the taste of the KFC chicken overpowered everything else. Honestly, if you were to just slap 2 pieces of chicken together and ate it, that's probably going to have the same taste as this, just fewer chances for heart attacks. Oh, and it was like $5. So you could have gotten 5 snackers instead of this, or 5 tacos.

Consensus: It's alright, but I probably wouldn't have got it if it weren't for content on a blog that's partially about eating. But, if you have $5, a KFC around and are immune to heart attacks, I guess it couldn't hurt to try.

No two people are not on fire.

The other day, we went to Taco Bell to buy lunch, only to find it was closed. Apparently there had been some sort of fire.

We were about to leave when Tom asks one of them "Is the chalupa machine okay?"

They replied, "Actually, that's where the fire started".

Tom made the saddest face I have ever seen a human make.

In happier news, the next day it was fine. Tom got his chalupa fix.

See, Matt? the blog is alive!
