A couple more of these gems. Haven't found numbers 5 or 6 yet.





I think their just trying a little bit of everything now just to see what sticks.

I haven't tried Five Guys yet but Red Robin has some pretty good burgers.

The Five Guys that opened nearest us was a disappointment. Burger was OK, nothing special, but the fries were soggy and greasy. There's another about the same distance the other direction, and I keep saying I'll try it before damning the whole company, but i haven't gone yet.

Red Robin gives you a free burger for your birthday, so MrsD and I go twice a year. When one is free, the trip costs as much as a trip to McD's

ANY "Fast Food" product can be made by yourself that's far tastier than the ones served at the restaurants, and CONSIDERABLY CHEAPER. When I go to Indiana next month I will seek out local eateries for my meal, and no "chain" restaurants, fast-food or otherwise. True, I'll be at the mercy of the Amusement Parks eateries, but most of them do have a halfway decent restaurant or to (Holiday World makes some @$$-Kicking Pizzas).

So we've reached the point where ads actually openfacedly admit they'll be overadvertising every day just to annoy (ahem, "remind") you every day to buy their product?

Nonono, we've reached the point where adtards are so oblivious to the fact that their ads are annoying that they think we're hanging on the edges of our seats awaiting the next installment of their brilliant and hilarious TV treats.

I'm on my way to McD's right now. Remember, every 1/3 sirloin burger you buy is another toy in the stocking of an adtard's child this Christmas.

Something just occurred to me...

This would be rather DISTURBING:

Scene: A white table and chair. Non-descript background.
Maybe some crappy unmemorable soft elevator music droning on in the distance.

Action:
Just show the clown seated, alone, munching down on one of these third-pound burgers.

No dialog. Just mic the chewing sound really high.

After a few bites: display #ImLovinIt (or whatever).
Fade to black.

I dunno.  I could picture him eating nothing but fast food.  He grew up Slovak working-class in Pittsburgh, and there's just so much holubke one can take.

Also, he said that no matter what kind of food he ate, he always would've preferred it to be peanut butter and jelly.  Or something like that.

The fact that everyone has access to the same commodities for the same prices from the same vendors regardless of socioeconomic status is beautiful, but it wasn't obvious until Andy Warhol pointed it out.

If a billionaire orders the same thing as you from Burger King, you're both eating the same crap.

This idea is most beautiful when there are only a few fiercely competitive options for especially popular commodities since they then act as social and cultural fixtures. Andy Warhol would have loved to have a smartphone.

Warhol used to note how expensive restaurants always have smaller portions.  He surmised that it's because such patrons don't go there for the food; they go there for the atmosphere.  He said that pretty soon people will "go out to atmosphere" rather than "go out to eat".

I think that's somewhat true.  The high-end restaurants in the foodie heaven of San Francisco and the Bay Area, such restaurants as "Boulevard" and "Stars" and "The French Laundry" exist.  No reference in their names to the sort of food they serve; it's all about image and atmosphere.
