Better Than Balls
So, I'm sitting here watching Voyager. On comes this “Jack in the Box” commercial. Understand that we don't have JITBs in Iowa. I'm still trying to get their damn “Holiday balls are coming to town” jingle out of my head. San Francisco is popculturing me to death. Anyway, I spied (with my little eye) a URL at the bottom of the screen. It was a link to some kind of football team. I popped open my browser and flew to the site, natch. Turns out to be a marketing thing. I have to admit: I laughed aloud when I figured it out. Now, this doesn't mean I'm going to rush out and buy a crapburger anytime soon. I haven't had a full fast food meal for three years. Every once in a while, I might go to Wendy's. But beyond that? Fugedaboudit.
Going to McDonald's for a hamburger is like going to church for an oil change. That isn't food! Half the junk you buy at the grocery store should be outlawed! No doubt, most of you caught my earlier entry stating that American cheese was not cheese. That's the truth, sadly. It's oil. Worse yet, it's hydrogenated oil. You don't have to be a high school graduate to figure out that the body doesn't know how to handle fake fat. I won't touch anything that contains it. Ask Gretchen. It drives her nuts.

is *NOT* overreacting to her situation in the slightest, but I do believe that the rest of us simply aren’t putting it into perspective.

There are some, I being one, who find (almost) all forms of fast food as being worthy – starting with “belly bombs” (White Castle), through most forms of “delivery.”
My favorite is a “deli made” swiss and bolonga on a hard roll, lettuce and mayo, (full sour) dill pickle on the side, with a diet Dr. Browns creame soda.
And yes, I realize a purest would suggest I am mixing some “appetize” items with “deli. I would disagree…

A Jack In The Box Ultimate Cheeseburger will change your life while simultaneously clogging your arteries. They had a site up for another ad campaign for the Meaty Cheesy Boys ( http://www.meatycheesyboys.com/ ), they even recorded music for it.

Something worse than McDonald's: Dominos. I swear their cheese and the cardboard box that the pie comes in share the same raw materials.

While I must say that the Ultimate Cheeseburger is mighty tasty, I think today I will visit Wendy's in honor of Dave Thomas, who passed away around midnight last night. :( Seems like the end of an era or something. I am too sappy for my own good some days…

American cheese is too cheese. The hydrogenated oil stuff must, by law, be called “American cheese food.”
I recall some stand-up comic saying: “Process cheese food isn't cheese, it's what cheese eats.”

Bah! :) Any product with “food” in its title is not, by defnition, food. Meat food? Vegetable food? Dog food?
