Re: The Junk Food/Fast Food Thread
Maybe they banned something in England since you're more health conscious than America. Like the Coke syrup tastes slightly different than America because you don't allow high fructose corn syrup, which American sodas have used since the 80s.

Re: The Junk Food/Fast Food Thread
Yea that could be the reason. From what I remember and we're going back to the early to mid 90s it had a much better batter/breading on it. It also had more flavor (in terms of the herbs & spices) now it's more generic. But like you say it could be down to something getting banned here. Yep we don't have high fructose corn syrup either, or any colorings so something like Cap'n Crunch wouldn't see the light of day here. It's because the colorings/food additives can have an adverse effect on activity & attention in children. Yet ironically you have places that sell imported American food/candy. Something like Cap'n Crunch imported is like £7-8 a box here.

I may appear strange solely because I am attempting to "fit-in" with strange people through the emulation of their strangeness.
I do not know what to write as my signature.

Re: The Junk Food/Fast Food Thread
It's quite simple to fit in, just be yourself. No strangeness here, we were having a discussion about junk food and you just posted two pics that added nothing of much value to the discussion. I think we are all well aware of the dangers of junk food and your pictures just stated the obvious and from one of such superior intellect I expected a PhD thesis on the dangers of junk food on ones health or maybe you could have just joined in the discussion normally?. I've got no issue with you, in fact you can probably add some valuable stuff to some topics, its just the way your going about things. Like saying things like emulating our strangeness can be perceived as offensive, but freedom of speech I guess.

Re: The Junk Food/Fast Food Thread
I like that he reviews this stuff, but I wish he was actually better at making videos. It's basically 8 minutes of bullshit with a 2 minute review at the end. Not to mention the fact that he records a YouTube video, talks on the phone, and eats all while driving. Just park the car, man.Dr. Zoidberg wrote:

Apparently the chip flavour is called All Dressed in Canada, so no need to go to jail to get them.

Is that all? They sell those in grocery stores with a few brands like Ruffles and Lays, they're not that great. They just taste like a sweet BBQ chip. That guy is overselling it greatly.

Re: The Junk Food/Fast Food Thread
I actually had the Cheetos Chicken Fries and the Whopperito tonight, and my opinion is the same as these video reviews. The Whopperito is terrible and I imagine will be discontinued soon. The Cheetos Chicken Fries taste no different than normal Chicken Fries, so I'm not sure why they even bothered.

I had the Whopperito once and it was fine. I liked it, but not enough to get it again. I probably won't bother with the new chicken fried.melancholy wrote:I actually had the Cheetos Chicken Fries and the Whopperito tonight, and my opinion is the same as these video reviews.

Re: The Junk Food/Fast Food Thread
Took 10 years off my life with todays breakfast..
3 sausages, 3 eggs, 3 rashes of bacon, 2 hashbrowns, 2 onions, all fried in about 1cm of lard served on toast coated with butter and then all coated with mozzarella. and a chicken pie.
And now I will wash it down with coke!
SO GREASY!! But I've never felt more satisfied in my life even if with each bite I could feel my arteries clogging. If I never eat again I'll be OK with that.
