    Might be a country by country thing, but in the UK a burger king whopper is genuinely not a bad burger for the price

    I actually find myself seeking one out on occasion

      It’s definitely a country by country thing. BK in Mexico is (or at least was when I lived there) pretty awesome. BK in the UK also pretty decent. BK in Canada is garbage.

      Yes. Americans somehow managed to fuck up multinational chain brands. I don’t know how, they basically invented them.

      Disclaimer: I’ve never had one, it’s just every single American friend I have comments about how McDonald’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Coca Cola, etc. is better in Mexico.

      My only issue with BK is you can burn hours later and it still tastes like BK. It was good when I ate it, but gross hours later.

      Something weird about that flame grilled flavor

        I have the same issue. I think they add the flame grilled flavor through the magic of additives and it probably flavors your stomach for hours

        Depends where you get it from because half of them seem to be in train stations and have increased prices because of that.

        IIRC the burger is about a fiver from a regular place though, little bit more than a sandwich meal deal from Tesco, but not five guys prices or anything
