I can't remember what I was doing or why I thought it needed to be traced, but imagine my surprise when I "remembered" why I disliked it so!

Love this post. I'm glad you don't like Burger King because your dislike has made me smile :=)

"Abomination" is SUCH a great word :)

Glad to make you smile!

I love your brain, Ant. I too remember cringing about the "croissanwich" when I first heard those ads. But I had already given up fast food because, well, it's icky.

Love this entry!

But, enquiring minds (attached to a gal who is giggling right now) must know - WHY were you eating a McDonalds hamburger in a Whole Foods parking lot?

[antof9]

Sorry to leave you in suspense! I think it was hunger+lack of funds. And because Whole Foods bugs me so much, it seemed the best place to eat it :) (of course, I went in there to buy bulk lentils and cheese afterward, but ...)

Maybe all of their sandwiches totally rock now, but I doubt it. ;)

um .... yeah. I rather doubt it too.
