Burger king gets bought for $4 billion

I guess there on the Value Menu of Companies you may want to buy.

I wonder if the purchaser would get a free supersize upgrade or toy with his purchase.

Pffttt.... McDonald's is where you supersize and they don't even call it that anymore. BK has large size and imo much better burgers than McDonalds, though it is a toss up between fries for me.

Anybody who thinks BK & McD are on equal footing on the french fry front - is a communist.

BK's fries suck.

It is all about the chemical additives not the real flavor of anything anyway. McDonalds fries are consistently either floppy or burnt to a crisp in every one ive been to from San Diego, Washington State, Kentucky, Virginia and everywhere in between. BKs fries are fairly consistent in both length and taste and to me taste much better in ketchup than McD's.

When McDs fries are fresh and warm they can be great, but 8/10 times I find they are cold and either a floppy mess or an overcooked potato cracker. BKs fries might lack a bit in flavor but make it up in consistency. The added fact that you can also get onion rings from BK is also a bonus as McDs doesn't have those at all. You might have a sucky ass BK in your area or something, I dunno; but during my many trips across the country BK is a good bet to get good food for very cheap.

I will take a whopper any day over a big mac and its 1,000 island secret sauce. BKs buck double is just about the greatest thing going as well and I've heard reports they lose money on them if sold alone.

So honestly, suck my nuggets for trying to say I'm a communist.

If only Jack-in-the-box would come over to this area....

I tried the BK chicken biscuit and was pleasantly surprised to get a mcmuffin as well since i think they messed up the order or something... both were good but I felt it later.
