Fast Food Blogging #4

I didn't skip #3, I just wrote #2 on two different entries. Anyway, I don't normally get fast food quite this often. I eat it more than most people, but not every night! It's just been my enthusiasm for this new project (and laziness, and I keep putting off going to the grocery store). Anyway, last night I went to Wendy's, the one that's on the triangle between Monroe Drive and Piedmont Ave. They're having this newfangled promotion where you collect cups (only medium sized and larger), and if you get like 32 cups then you earn a one way domestic flight on AirTran. 64 is either 2 one ways or a round trip. Smiley has started saving for two round trip flights, 128 cups, so I thought if I was going for fast food, I might as well hit Wendy's and help him out. I got the number 2 meal, which is a double. Wendy's ALWAYS asks if you want to upsize, which is fine.

What REALLY annoys me is this new thing where they say, "See you tomorrow" when you're about to pull away. It makes me paranoid, like they recognize me and fully expect to see me tomorrow. Which they won't. Not ever again will I go to Wendy's two days in a row because of this. They've actually lost my business. No one wants to go to a fast food restaurant knowing they'll just be back the again the next day. It makes me feel guilty when I hear them say that, because I know it's a possibility and that I should be eating healthier, so I try to make sure it does not become true. So I go to McDonald's the next day instead :)

The burger was strange, to say the least. I guess they must have run out of quarter pound patties, so it was one quarter pound patty and two of the smaller kind that they put on the double stacks, which made for a burger with actual terrain on the top bun. I started imagining little sesame seeds hanging out on the plateau above the two double stack patties, and then skiing down the slop to the quarter pound patty while telling their friends, "See you tomorrow." Of course this little fantasy died the moment I tried to pick it up off the wrapper and the patties all slid around, with the new terrain resembling a much more chaotic and greasy wonderland. No skiing anymore, but I bet it would be great for capture the flag.

Fries were good, coke was great! They almost always have a good syrup to soda water ratio at Wendy's. Unfortunately my coke got in my stomach too fast, but then Smiley went to the gas station to buy a 12 pack. No ciagrettes even though there ws only oneleft in the apartment. He doesn't think ahead too well.

I think I may order in tonight since it's Lost and Veronica Mars night. Not wings, though, I'm having those for lunch at work. Or maybe I'll hit Quizno's. Does that count as fast food? It's pretty fast, but pretty hgih quality, too.
