Why BK’s signature burger has no cheese is the real question here.

>>10088236
Why not?

>mfw burger i ordered from a fast food place looks exactly as advertised

>>10088268
Have you been to Japan
Im tu lazi to make pretty butger must ber imposoble

Most countries dont pull this shit

It's all flashy lights and pills over here sadly

>>10088236
You’re like the people who demand plus size models to get an “accurate representation” of reality

>>10088236
no joke, the whopper jr is the superior fast food burger
also
>fucking a whopper up by adding cheese

>>10088296
i meant
*the mac jr is the superior fast food burger

but a whopper isnt meant to have cheese

>>10088236
Honestly, the one on the right looks better. The ingredients look real, and you can actually see some fucking cheese.

>>10088236
The whoppers at my local BK don't look quite like the ad pic but they look a whole lot better than whatever's on the right in OP's pic.

>>10088236
For real tho, this nigga finna smash the one on the right.
If you get food that looks like that ever and you dont call them out on it, youre a simp.
It doesnt hurt to say you want another if thats the shit they gave you.

the one on the right looks like my ex

You can always go to subway if you ar elooking for a sandwich artist

>>10088795
>Mustard

I wonder if it's that they use so little, or that it's just overpowered by the other things, but I never taste any mustard. Actually at any fast food place. Unless, I specifically say "add mustard", or I ask for packets and add it myself.

Or maybe the workers just fuck it up all the time.

Not a big fan of mustard, though, so I don't really care.

just make it your fucking self. Doesn't look that hard

>>10088292
low IQ post

WHERES THE SZECHUAN SAUCE YOU PROMISED MORTY REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

>>10088274
Because the chefs have articulated the flavors to compliment each other and stimulate all the sense on your palate; without cheese.
Do not be the diner that requests cheese. By doing this you are effectively dismantling the chef’s marriage of flavors and undermining his culinary ability.

>>10088858
Hahah look at me! Let me try! Haha

RIIIICCCCKKKKKK!!!!!

hahaha

>>10088295
Well, yeah. It's the women being marketed to, not men. They're not porn stars. They're showing products to women.

People on this board mostly talk shit about BK but I actually enjoy it. The one near me is good (not run by apes) so that helps

>>10089043
That was the Rodeo King burger. 9/10 really good

>>10089004
nice

>>10088236
is the first one even real?

>>10088236
That's not true. The burger on the right has cheese. BK doesn't have cheese on their burgers. You need to ask and pay extra. That's honestly the reason I don't go.

I only eat home made burgers

>>10089092
is this like a transgender man cutting this?

>>10089110
lol that diamon rang

It's called "food styling", and the one on the left is inedible.

>>10089130
and the manicured nails....

>>10089061
The rodeo chicken is good too

>>10089004
Simply epic post

This is currently the best post on 4chan

>>10088283
same here, it's only a burger problem

>>10088274
The Whopper somehow doesn't benefit from cheese or bacon, it's a fast food anomaly. It's also the only burger that I like ketchup on.

>>10088236
One has full ingredients, the other doesn't appear to have all. One is made to look product look great, the other not so much: who is to say the right side wasn't tampered with?

>one on the left is made by a guy with a vested interest in making the burger look appealing to as many people as possible
>one on the right is made by a guy paid $7/hr

Honestly, one advantage of automation is we might actually get our fast food to look closer to the advertising because it will be made consistent every time.

SMASHED and SLAMMED

Burger King tastes so artificial and strange I don't understand how they still exist on a large scale.

>>10088236
bruv I've never had a whopper look that bad.

The advertisement one is inedible and take hours to make.

>>10088236
i stopped eating at burger nig a long time ago

DESU I really like my burgers smashed and flat (with everything I want in it) as possible. Big fluffy burgers are lame.

>>10088236
That image isn't accurate on either side. Yes, the left is the market advert image, I get it. But the right can only be achieved if the prepper or consumer smashed it in some way. Just doesn't make sense to say that the right image is "what you always get", nope. Someone smashed the one on the right, clearly. BK is usually gross, but about a decade ago, I had some fairly decent burgers from the local BK, and I know it was because of the staff at the time. I can go back to the same location and it is garbage now.... its entirely employed by angry kids who hate their situation. Back when I was going for a burger once in a while, the staff was very different. Big, nice, gay dude used to give me loads of extra fries, grill cook was (I guess) content with his job and took care of the orders with content. Times have changed. Now we've just got highschool kids who are pissed off and hate themselves, their jobs and everyone apparently, and it shows.

>>10088236
The left wasn't made to be eaten. Or wrapped up and shoved in a bag.

>>10088236
I recently went to a burger king, the bread was no flat or squished looking at all. Sure the insides don't look as neat but that isn't true.

>>10088236
Because addicts will be buy it anyway.

>>10089164
So shouldn't they be required by law or at least culture like in Japan to only show images of the actual realistic food expectations, or try to meet expectations shown?

>>10088236
that burger on the left has so obviously been squished down and then "slightly fluffed up"

>eating fast food

disgusting

>>10093442
fuck, on the right

>>10089092

>look at this cross-section of my uncooked burger

There's still visible fucking tendons in that shit.

It's all so tiresome

>>10093458
It's unrendered fat. It's buffalo meat and Jack was afraid to overcook it, so he didn't cook it.

>>10089092
does this guy even own a sharp knife?

>>10088284
>Have you been to Japan
have you? fast food burgers look just as deflated compared to adverts in japan as they do in the west

>>10093436
Why should they? Cus your stupid ass falls for it?

>>10088274
yeah why a HAMBURGER in a HAMBURGER chain isn't actually a CHEESEBURGER baffles me also

>>10088795
>one dimensional world

Media faggots are so fucking dumb

>This cheap fast food garbage doesn't look like an actual burger I could just make at home in ten minutes... WHAT THE FUCK

>>10093436
There is a truth in advertising requirement that if they're displaying an actual food product they sell it has to use real food ingredients, but they can use any tricks they want to pretty it up as long as it's actual food.

>>10093804
I went to McDonald's twice in Japan and they weren't the usually squished fucked up fare you find in America.

>>10089061
I remember that.

Around 2002 or so, BK had this "homestyle burger", I can't remember the name. The bun consisted of two thick cut slices of bread dripping in garlic butter. It was awesome.

BK is overall shitty, almost as bad as Taco Bell with a similar stoner menu, but I have to say I still love the double stacker.

That's because the advertisement isn't an actual burger, it's more like a wax candle. If you watch one of those videos that shows you a behind the scenes of fast food advertisement, you can see that they do a bunch of shit to a carefully prepared burger like covering it in wax, adding a bunch of lighting to make it glisten, topped off with a bit of CGI.

>>10088236
Had a Texas Double Whopper last night and it looked alright. Honestly the advertisement is kinda weird with it's 75% layer of rigid veggies and excessive lettuce.

>>10094039
What the fuck is the point of that burger? That's jsut two slices of bread on top of a shitty cheese burger. You could just put that extra slice of cheese directly on the burger instead.

>>10094036
>almost as bad as Taco Bell
What the hell are you talking about? Of all the fast food joints, it's the most consistent serving superior food. If you know what to order, it can be healthy too.

>>10094141
You're a fucking retard. Nothing there can be considered 'healthy' by any rational person's definition, nor is the quality any better than other fast food restaurants

>>10088236
Because one is an ad and is presented as such because it allows you to see each individual ingredient. As long as the ingredients themselves don't vary it's not false advertising. They're advertising the recipe, not what the product looks like.

>>10088236
You're paying for the food, not the appearance. As long as it's all there, what's the problem?

>>10094812
anon, you're uninformed.

http://www.businessinsider.com/taco-bell-is-now-one-of-americas-healthiest-fast-food-chains-2016-10

>>10088274
It's so they can charge $0.60 per fucking slice.

>>10088236
this was pretty true for a long time, but nowadays my sandwiches are looking pretty presentable.
im tempted to go to wendys for a spicy chicken sandwich and post a pic. they look pretty fucking good irl iirc

>>10094812
Spicy tostada and bean burrito isnt bad.
I wish they'd use whole grain for the flour tortillas. Same thing for buns at every fast food place actually.

BK tried to breech my country's local market twice and had its franchise bought out by a local chain twice. Yeesh.

>>10088236

Burger King is single worst fast food restaurant active today.

the whoppers I get look alright

>>10088268
Yes you can.

>>10089092
IT'S FUCKING RAW.

>>10088236

What kind of strawman is this? Did you sit on the bag on the way back? The real deal is a far thing from the advertisement but I'm pretty sure that the Burger King Lead Sandwich Engineer doesn't personally crush every burger with his hand before bagging them

>>10088236
Actual burger looks way tastier.

>caring what your fastfood burger looks like

are faggot kids these days mad at this because its not pretty enough to post on instagram or your snapchat story?

>>10095163
no, but you probably don't want something like >>10094039 where eating it is impossible without getting your entire face covered in grease

I remember a while back some guy made a youtube video where he asked the restaurant to make it like the picture on the menu , they all did it for him. You just need to ask. Too lazy to search for the video

>>10088236
Because it's fast food no one expects a miracle

>>10093459

Literally posting this from Japan.
Burger King sucks here too.
Pepper lunch and other jap fast food is lit though, would recommend.

lmao that's an exaggeration
usually i get it like on the ad (maybe a bit worse)

>Of all the fast food joints, it's the most consistent serving superior food.
I honestly don't get this sentiment. Maybe it's because I live in Canada, but Taco Bell is literal garbage. About once every year or two I'll try it. I'll order an array of items, be impressed by the lbs/$ ratio, but the food is so insipid and texturally unappealing that I invariably throw out half-eaten items (which I never do under most circumstances).

And don't get me wrong, I really like fast food. But Taco Bell is shit to me. Their menu may be creative and cheap, but I would gladly chose any popular fast food place over Taco Bell. When I was younger I liked their fries supreme, but not anymore.

>>10088274
Cheese is gross

>>10000000

>>10089092
looks lieke a good steak burger

>>10089092
lol is this ja/ck/?

This is why I order from Subway, or dining cafes rather than fast food chains.

Because dumb faggots eat at Burger King.

>>10101878
Newfag.

>>10088236
Why is burger king still allowed to be in business? I have all the fucking luck, i started working at Walmart a little over a half a year ago and i thought it would be great having a McD right inside the store so I could waste as little time as possible on lunch breaks. To my absolute fucking dismay I discovered they put a goddamn BK there instead. I tend to run late alot because I'm a lazy faggot and having a fast food joint in the store makes things easier on me, but fucking why did it have to be BK? WHY!? I wanted to stop by Subway on the way to work but overslep and I had to settle for a burger there, I was honestly pretty lucky since it was open because, since I work the night shift, they close at 10:00pm (when my shift starts) but those lazy fucking faggots close their doors as early as 9:30 just because they feel like it. Anyways, I get the burger and it's fucking dripping with mayonnaise and the condiments and veggies are all stacked on top of one another, like all in the same EXACT spot. I got like halfway through before I chucked it in the trash and settled for a small bag of kettle chips. BK never fails to ruin my fucking night.

>>10103727
>I’m a lazy fuckingvshit with poor time management skills
>this is somehow Burger Kings fault
Always someone else to blame isn’t there, snowflake?

>>10103783
It's a fucking fast food restaurant you retard, they were literally invented so faggots like me could be lazy, even if that wasn't the case, that certainly doesn't excuse how fucking terrible BK is. I would not be posting this if a McDs or Wendy's was built in the store instead of a BK.

>>10103787
Burger King has never marketed itself as ‘fast food’.
If you’re going to sperg out this hard do it in your safe space, you precious little shit.

>>10103795
You're either baiting or actually retarded.

>>10103795
Burger King has never marketed itself as ‘fast food’.
The term fast food is a generalisation and not a marketing term.
Reading comprehension, anon.

>>10089061
For some reason I hate onion rings even though I like onions.

>>10103817
Then what do they market as, "fine dining," "family style sit down," lol?

>>10089092
Ja/ck/ cutting a raw bison burger

>>10093704

Probably, but I don't think he knows how to sharpen them or do anything else in a kitchen for that matter.
