It’s Good to Be Bad

It’s been a month since I’ve landed in the land of horses and kings and I’ve decided finally to give my self a treat. So what will it be, a BMW, a Playstation 2, or maybe even a Motorbike? Nah I settled for the best thing money could buy, a meal at Burger King.

This particular Burger King outlet has been teasing me everyday for the past 3 weeks. Just sitting there with it’s big fat signs saying it’s only (1.99 pounds) a burger, come try our new bbq double cheese burger. So today, seeing that it was a holiday for me and I’ve managed to save 20pounds from transport, I decided what the heck.

The queue was surprisingly long, service was slow and the staff were almost never at the counter. Apparently, fast food is just as slow as it is in Malaysia. Anyway, I was spoiled for choices, choose the hugely popular Whooper, or something new? So after considerable consideration (what a stupid combination of words), I got the most NoN Halal burger I could fine ;) The Bacon Double Cheese Burger, in LARGE thank you.

Hrmm Large

I have to say I was disappointed at the size. It ain’t big big like the Americans, and sure the burger is big, but it still can’t justify it’s RM 31.50 price tag (It's inclusive of the drinks and fries and of cause the damn taxes Grrr). Still, after resisting temptation and taking these pictures for all you good folks, I tucked in, and to my disbelief they managed to burn the beef. Sheesh, how can you burn the beef!It's pretty obvious that they've only got two meathods of cooking, deep fying and pan fying. Sigh ... no originality lolz.

Hrmm Whooper? Har?

Hrmm just the packaging

Bacon, so non-halal

It was then I noticed the notice on my ‘unhealthy sized’ cup of Coke, it reads:

Not as big as Supersize in US

“This cup makes a statement about you. It says “Hey, look at me. I’m an ambitious and decisive person” You could have gone larger, but you didn’t. You could have gone small, but you decided against it. No, you know exactly what you want in life and that you’ll always have it your way”

Now this just makes you wonder. Is Burger King encouraging people to be proud their taking the large meal? Don’t they know the health implications this could draw up? I can imagine a lawsuit saying “Burger King brain washed me into thinking I need to buy large meals to be confident. Now look at me!” It’s just sick ….

Might as well say, You're unhealthy and you're paying way too much for food, but since you like it and probbaly can't live without it, Lemme print this on the cup to make you feel better muahahaha.

This is a relatively uninformative post, but I’m just using it as an excuse to post pictures of burgers hehe. Oh I almost forgot my verdict of the meal.

!!! BUrrrRRrrRRrP !!! – Definitely won’t have another for a long time.
