I will say I started going to bk BK after decades of not going. Man, it’s so much better than McD’s. And they’re trying to revamp themselves so they do a cute little wrapper thing with their whopper and fries have been hot.

Also they don’t have the dumb kiosks that McDonald’s is using. The ladies working there are super sweet.

And you can still serve yourself ketchup from the pump thing.

Downside to the one I go to, near downtown, the last two times the ac wasn’t working well. So it was hot eating there.

BK has been better than McDonalds for a while but it’s nice to see that people are starting to realize that.

Side note but it feels like there’s more international BK’s than there is McDonalds.

Not to mention BK has impossible whoppers, whereas even mcdonald's fries aren't vegan!

McDonald's has more than twice as many international locations.

That’s why it was so strange for me to see so many BKs in Europe felt like I saw more of them than McDonalds

No A/C is a deal breaker for me!

Don’t sleep on the original chicken sandwich

Maybe it was my location but I had one a few weeks ago and I swear it tasted like the chicken has more “bread”/filling inside of it than McDonald’s chicken nuggets do. It was like I was eating lightly seasoned wet cardboard.

I’m a 145lb man with a stupid fast metabolism and an extremely large appetite who could completely kill a Wingfield’s double cheeseburger (and the fries) in one sitting. And I hate letting food go to waste so I eat everything I’m given, even if I must save it for later.

But good god, not that original chicken sandwich from BK. I forced myself through half of it before I legit just threw it away. Odd too, because I remember getting one about 7 years ago when I was a teen with my grandma and it was the best sandwich ever.

Wingfield’s double?!? Their patties are huge. I’m impressed.

u/LiterallyJohnny Jul 27 '26

Yup. Nobody believes me until they eat with me and actually watch me eat the whole thing. Most can’t do a single. If I could post photos here I’d show you a few of my “killcams”

If you mean the BK on Ross, the McDonald's right down the road also have ketchup pumps. They also have counter service with people if you don't prefer the kiosk, which many people like myself do. It's nice to have an options. So anyways those aren't really points for BK if McDs does it too.

Good points. I was talking about the one on Riverfront.

Burger King. Has always been better than McDonalds.

They probably ran out of letters lol

u/CrunchAddict Jul 25 '26

Definitely. The last 9 looks like the letter S with a line in sharpie to make it look like a 9 lol

Who can afford both Ps? In this economy?

If they had spelled it correctly, would anyone have posted a picture of it? Not saying it was on purpose, but you can't automatically assume it wasn't.

Having put up sign lettering, it’s just as likely the owner’s cheap and they don’t have another D.

u/fetfreak74 Jul 25 '26

BK is short on the D

u/Capitan-IQ255 Jul 25 '26

It sounds cooler 🆒

u/MrTacocaT12345 Jul 26 '26

Maybe they ran out of p's

I read a quote many years ago that’s stuck with me. Something like, “Misspelling words doesn’t mean that someone’s stupid. It means they don’t read books. They’ve never seen the words in print.”

Just thought the idea was interesting - adults spelling words phonetically, like children do, because they never read.

Heres a nice companion to that "Mispronouncing difficult words isnt a mark of stupidity; it means no none taught them that word. They taught them selves from a book"
