New fast food discussion/review thread

OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

Can you get free refills at least?

Coke freestyle machine at the BK in Sequim is pin protected

Ain't that a thing

That's pretty smart. Well until you watch the 3 people in front of you enter the pin. :p

My local Taco Bell has a kill switch on the soda machine. The cashier has a little remote to activate/deactivate it.

So many people steal soda...


Older fountain systems have a key that will disable it. Since covid, a lot of the local spots turn off the public machine until it's needed. Maybe they leave it on for lunch/dinner rushes?

steve fortunate washington requires sequimsh freestyle buttons receive frequent frisky tickling
fingerprint evidence still not clear if cliques fully received coke coded deposits but inspections are still ongoing


but do not question you are only 90 peninsula minutes plus degrees of separation or so east from visiting one of the best place names on this earth:

Spoiler
Show

Pysht, Washington

ancestral land of the Klallam people
european logging arrival started in the latter 1880s
labor needs quickly requiring pumping even more white foreigners across the borders to form a company town with a solitary mission to clear all surrounding hillsides down to the stumps mud floes be damned

last traces of the original settlement reased in 1920


Sequim is a Costco sized town, and yes I can confirm they chopped down every single evergreen tree here. Very little shade. I don't get the aversion to planting native evergreens!

The pin number req is a direct consequence of reducing staffing IMO, mainly front register. Fortunately I've grown used to water with my ff, no need to involve petty larceny

There's also a decent Asian buffet 20 mins from Sequim in Port Angeles. Strip mall Asian buffets are my guilty pleasure. Ones that have soft serve machines are the best

Edit: I donated a hundo to the modern Klallam people yesterday. Their casino is pretty nice. No free soda machine though, damn soda stealing locals


Rubios has a cool promo running this month... Use promo code MORE25, and you get 25% off your meal AND they upsize the serving sizes of your food by 25%. So big fat burritos, tons of chips, heaping tacos.


Went to CFA for breakfast yesterday. The burrito was way smaller than usual.

Cherry Berry w/Sprite was pretty good.

That's in WA? Weird, maybe they're sick of looking at evergreens. I'm in AZ and they planted a bazillion evergreens here.


$1 Double Stack from the Red Head, with purchase, seems like a good deal?

Offer only available at participating U.S. Wendy’s® for a limited time. Offer must be redeemed in the Wendy’s App. App download and account registration required. See offer in the Wendy’s app for further details. Fresh beef available in the contiguous U.S., Alaska and Canada.


I was told this morning that you could get a free dozen Krispy Kreme to celebrate Tay Tay's and Travis' engagement announcement, yesterday. I bet this doesn't help you either.

Found this at my local grocery store. For something that's packaged it turned out to be really good.

I was going to post that, but I didn't know what a Double Stack was.


Popeye’s has the butterfly shrimp box again for a limited time.

Make a visit imho.

Double stacks were a staple of my teen years. Per my last Wendys tr, 2x stacks now are a couple of little hockey pucks of beef in a bread sandwich. This is in Washington state, maybe your wendys suck less?

Debating getting winco fried chicken or my favorite $7 special

Is there anything unusual about them? Spicified, or cajunized, etc?


Free Big Mac if you buy 2 FFDP today only.


Really enjoyed CFA’s Pretzel Cheddar Club in both Spicy and Regular.

No.
They were kinda good, like good enough, but not great. Got them today.
I also got a chicken sandwich, albeit a large piece, was kinda meh and a bit underwhelming.

My friend said that the Popeye’s chicken sandwich is overrated, claiming they increased the price and now it’s worse. Hard to argue with him. He said his favorite FF chicken sandwich is chick fil a’s spicy deluxe (with pepper jack cheese) which I’ve never had.

I’ll be sure to order it for Science the next time I’m near a CFA.


That chili cheese burrito is going to hit like crack. I used to love those things.


Price is up ~ 10% on the sandwich but it can’t be about value if you are paying 30% more for CFA.

Rick is advertising a gold sauce for their chicken I will be tasting.

FYP, in case they came from Walmart.


Holy **** that's a banger of a list taco bell!

Caramel apple empanada is Mt Rushmore of fast food desserts
Double decker taco supremes were my jam too (when they were $1.29, I'm sure they'll be $5.99 now)


feck y2k, we deserve lava sauce

Popeye's knew exactly ****ing what they were ****ing doing from the start of the mythical $5 Sandwich.

They are the AT&T of fast food.


Popeye is dead to me. Hope he OD’s on Spinach for all I care.
