SHOW NOTES
In the news this week:
Big news out of Burger King. The chain who now has the most frightening mascot is rolling out the first national breakfast value menu with some ten items starting at just one dollar each. A buck will get ya Newly introduced items like the Hamlette PIC, a smallish sandwich that includes sliced ham, melted American cheese and fluffy egg, topped with honey butter as if butter isn't delicious enough, they've added honey to it and it's all served on a sesame seed bun. Plus, they're introducing Cheese Tots, PIC. bite-size portions of melted mozzarella and cheddar cheeses inside a golden, crispy potato crust. A crisp one dollar bill will also get you three french toast sticks, a small hash browns, one sausage biscuit or the dreaded 500 calorie cini minis. That's more calories per dollar than my Aunt Louise's breast milk butter she used to sell to the neighbourhood kids.
Wendy's is going to introduce breakfast to fifty per cent of it's stores by 2008 and Wall Street is not impressed. Why? Well for one thing, their last kick at the breakfast cat in the eighties sucked scrotum and had to be abandoned after a couple of years. But according to the Houston Chronical, "Wendy's management has admitted site selection of its restaurants is historically not breakfast-oriented. What does that mean? According to the Chronical research has shown that consumers are reluctant to make left turns to buy breakfast. So all Wendy's locations may not be suitable" to serve breakfast. This is not a joke! I guess we're just too tired and hungover in the morning to deal with the complicated task of negotiating a left hand lane change for a plate of oily eggs and a cup of burnt coffee.
Dairy Queen has changed it's logo. You may not even recognize it because there are now two squigly lines on the top and bottom. DQ calls them squishes and says they're there to reflect the fun and enjoyment associated with their food and soft-serve treats..... Well how bout the old logo with a defibruator line going through it to reflect the shortenen lives the 1180 calories, 90 grams of fat in your flame thrower grill burger will cause us? Add another 500 calories from a dipped cone and you might as well go jump in a open grave.
As always, we are joined by fast food pop culture expert, the man simply known as Jay. Jay joins us by phone from the drive through at the In n out Burger in Modesto, California this week Jay roams from fast food restaurant to fast food restaurant studying the nuances of the industry and reports back to FFN. His real name and corporations whom he consults for cannot be disclosed.
Jay does not know the sandwich of the week in advance but is required by law to comment on the pros and cons of the Sandwich of the Week. The Sandwich of the week is the semi defunct, on again off again, oft-mocked McRib sandwich from McDonald's.
This week's fast food trivia question is: What major fast food chain founder, and former Kentucky Colonel, was responsible for the rotating bucket signs at Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, as well as suggesting paper buckets for the chicken so the packaging would absorb?
The Hypothetical Fast Food Question of the week:
It's just after sunrise, there's a scorching heat wave and you've just spent eight long hours having sex with Scarlet Johansson and her super model friend, who is a midget, what fast food breakfast do you order and why?
Jay recommends carbing up and rehydrating.
