The Best Burger in America - As if......

..... we didn't know who had the best burger in town.  Seriously though; If you're from Texas, or from Corpus Christi for that matter - you're all too familiar with the famous burger that had many of us munching on them when the bars closed on any given night.  I won't even begin to tell you how well Whataburger employees knew me. LOL.  

Corpus Christi, Texas is the birthplace of this wonderful creation and so proud to say, "We're CHAMPIONS!!"

Thank you Fast Company for sharing this info.

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 37 - Dunkin Donuts Tirade [NSFW]

Excuse my French, but this bitch is crazy.  She didn't get a receipt and demanded her order be free.  Okay, sure Dunkin' Donuts will honor the request, but I wouldn't have given it to a nut-job like this.  Then again, she probably would've returned with an AK-47 and shot everyone.  Oh, and she made sure to let everyone know it was going on Facebook and the internet.  It's true, her stupid ass is all over the internet for everyone to see and laugh at.  Geez.... are people really this stupid?  The video is full of explicit language and racial epithets. You've been warned.  It is NSFW.

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 36 - Taco Shell Love

OMG, I don't even know what to say.  Are people really this stupid, or are we stupid for eating at these places?  

Geez.  I know these workers get very low pay, and some need this job to pay for school, books, or other necessities in life.  But if you hate your job so much, don't make love to our Taco Shells.

While Taco Bell has yet to respond to this Facebook photo, KFC fired an employee in February for making love to some mashed potatoes.

Nobody Forces Us To Eat Anything by Ryan Lopez

So on October, 2011 I offended someone with one of my blog posts, Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 25.   

I think I gave a pretty decent response, but suffice it to say, I discontinued the series with the hope of bringing it back someday.

But before I bring back the series - my partner, Ryan gave a response I'd like to share with my readers.  I thought it was great.

"nobody forces us to eat anything, unless you consider the peer pressure to 'be with the group and not a hater' when it comes to eating with family, friends or co-workers. Even so, most restaurants will nowadays at least try to offer something healthy to everyone that is knowledgeable about their health and cares to not over indulge.  Still, if I was raised in a family that never ate healthy and this food is all the food that I knew, I might not be aware of what is healthy and what is not. Granted, it's not hard to see how the sh!t on this particular blog, "Foods that will make you fat," will undoubtedly make you fat, but at the same time until people really started saying something about the health concerns that fast food brings with it, these restaurants had no healthy options. If they did they more than likely were not that healthy to begin with. 

My point is this: While there may be some frivolous lawsuits out there, lawyers aren't cheap and time is money, especially when you consider the expensive attorney you'd need to hire to try and take on a fast food corporation as well as the time it'd take for this case to go through the numerous courts just to possibly get anywhere with any results whatsoever. It's not easy to just go and sue and get money. The people that decided to bravely take this journey on are mainly interested in having their message heard and making change. Take the infamous hot coffee incident that, for the most part, everybody has heard of but no one truly knows the details. A woman at McDonald's spills hot coffee on herself, sues because the coffee is too hot, wins and makes money off her own mistake.

Sounds horrible right? 

But what if I told you that the coffee was so hot that it seared the flesh off her bones. When the poor woman got to the hospital the doctors could see the internal muscle and bones inside the two gaping holes in her legs that the hot coffee had made. She needed multiple skin graphs to fix the injury that her insurance wouldn't cover and that she couldn't afford. So she sues McDonald's for two reasons: To not only get the money that she needs to pay back the debt she owes on her surgery, but to also get McDonald's to lower the temperature on their coffee so this suffering could not happen to anyone else. 

While suing McDonald's because you're fat sounds outright ridiculous, it'd help get them to change what they offer so at least there's something somewhat decent to eat there now for all of us health conscious people out there. But what about those that aren't and all they can afford to feed themselves, as well as their children, is a quick fast food meal? At least those places now give not only alternate food options but possibly what their food products now contain regarding calories and grams of fat. They didn't do this on their own. Somebody had to have the bravery to stand up to them and say something. So next time you may thing about criticizing the "lazy, good for nothing" plaintiff that's suing somebody, or consider standing up and applauding tort reform (lawsuit reform) please check out the documentary, "Hot Coffee". Yes, a plug at this point doesn't sound too good, but it really opened my eyes to what's happening to the courts in our country and how it doesn't look too good for our future unless we stand up and say something right now. Change does not happen by itself, it takes people to make it happen, as well as a whole lot of bitching. I appreciate what these people have done for us, and we all owe them a big thank you. I won't forget it, will you?"

For About $20, You Could Buy...

So which foods are you choosing?  For the past couple of months, Ryan and I have stopped eating at Fast Food restaurants.  And during this time we've managed to save more and buy more.  I'm glad we're doing this, it makes our time together far greater than it already was.

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible

I actually watched the video below yesterday morning, and got so sickened by it, I couldn't bring myself to blog about it.  I can honestly say, not very many people make me angry or sick to my stomach, but the very people who were behind this horrible beating, made me extremely nauseous.

Also, yesterday morning I had just finished blogging about another McDonald's incident that occurred a couple of weeks ago when I came across this one. What these young girls did is beyond redemption, it is so serious that investigators are now contemplating pressing hate crime charges on the perpetrators.

The vicious girls, who are 14 and 18 yrs old, dragged 22 year old Chrissy Lee Polis across the McDonald's restaurant to the point where her hair was literally being torn off her scalp.  It is one of the most disturbing videos I have ever seen.  And my anger is also directed at the McDonald's employees who were taping and watching the incident with no one offering to help.  A customer attempted to help her, but the kicking and beating simply continued.

Update: 

The McDonald's employee who taped the incident has been fired, and the franchise owner says he may take further action against her employees.  All I can say is, God Bless her, because McDonald's may have several lawsuits heading their way.  Even if they don't go to trial, settlements could ensue.

Mind-Boggling News: Woman Goes On Rampage at Fast Food Restaurant

What is wrong with people, really?  Am I just being too judgemental?  

When idiots like this (see video) walk into a McDonald's restaurant, and go all American Psycho on the employees, they're not only making a fool of themselves, but showing the world how well our education system is working. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that, because smart people pull this crap too.  In either case, this is the second time in two weeks I've come across a disturbing video a involving a McDonald's restaurant.

 

I don't think I'll be working at a McDonald's anytime soon - it's life or death it seems like.  My love (my partner Ryan), if you're reading this, please stay at Bank of America - it's safer!

Mind-Boggling News: National Hiring Day Consists of Running Over People

Remember when McDonald's announced two weeks ago that they were going to hold a National Hiring Day in order to fill 50,000 jobs at all it's restaurants?

Well... Ronald  is frowning, and it looks like Mr.McDonald   got more than he bargained for.  Now we wait and see what lawsuits will be popping-up out of this crazy-ass incident.  Even though McDonald's is indirectly involved, these bitches will somehow find a way to sue - mark. my. words.

On Tuesday, in "what was supposed to be an uplifting event to help boost the economy," two bitches went for each other's throats, probably because there wasn't enough "Bic Mac's secret sauce" on one of their burgers.  This shit is crazy - like for real.  

One of the bitches ran over the store's owner, manager and several other people before driving off.
