yeah theyve always been the worst thing about that shithole

>>15932867
I mean their onion rings are alright at least, not as good as the Arby's ones that no longer exist tho.

>>15932863
those are the best fast food fries, anon!

>>15932871
They literally taste like starch

>>15932863
Only way they are edible is too douse them in Zesty sauce which BK are super Jews about anymore

>>15932870
I haven't ate there since probably at least 2013 but onion rings were always the default option. their fries have always been fucking awful

>>15932863
Yea they're shit i like popeyes fries the most

>change the recipe in the late 90s
>amazing
>change it again
>worst fries in fast food

why

>>15932898
iirc they switched from frying it in animal fat to frying it in something vegan friendly. they used to be pretty good.

by the way i'm not talking about this "lower fat" version that has popped up recently. I haven't tried those. I'm talking the fries that were around during the pandemic

>>15932907
it's gotta be more than that, their old fries were completely different texture-wise too, they used to be so good

>>15932898
>you were 8 in 1997
>thought this shit was amazing
>you're 32 now and realize it's shit
>blame it on burger king going to shit instead of you not having the taste buds if an 8yo anymore
it was shit back then too btw. those fries were dookie in 1993 and they still are
>

>>15932921
ya but they literally changed the recipe

>>15932863
To me, they ranked above McDonald's but below Wendy's when I was a kid.

Huh, weird. Here in Finland the BK fries are easily the best out of every fast food chain. McDonalds fucking sucks ass and is definitely the worst, the fries are so thin and still all floppy and soggy and barely taste like anything.

>>15933274
>the fries are so thin and still all floppy and soggy
yes but that's kino

>>15932911
iirc they also changed the thickness soon after to counteract the loss of flavor.

I unironically love burger king. I love that artificial flame taste the whopper has, I can taste it for hours after I've eaten it.

Starch-coated fries was the worst 90's trend. Dairy Queen also used to have okay fries until then.

>>15932863
I’ve come to realize that BK items all taste like other fast foods. One item will taste like Wendy’s. Another will taste like Carl’s Jr. Maybe a dessert item tastes like a different place.
BK’s identity is biting other flavor identities... and I’m okay with it.
There is no BK taste.
The king is dead.

>>15932863
mcdonalds beats them at fries but bk has better burgers

>>15934249
This. I actually like Burger King and don’t understand why it’s shit on so bad. It’s no worse than McDonalds

>>15932863
>t. Amerifat McDonalds shill
Is Ronald paying you?

>>15932921
cope

>>15932886
You can get BK Zesty sauce, Chick Fila sauce and Big Mac sauce all at walmart as an off brand that tastes exactly like the original thing. Its called I think Zesty sauce, Chicken sauce and secret burger sauce respectively. I might be wrong but its easy to spot them if you know what youre looking for.

>>15932863
>BK franchise in country is owned by the owner of a shitty local fast food burger chain
>BK fries are heavenly
>Local chain's owner has had enough with competing against himself
>Pulls the plug on BK in the country indefinitely
>6 years later a very few BK restaurants are opened under new franchise ownership
>Fries suck now
So far I've found one place that had similar heavenly fries, but it's in a different country, different continent, in some lowly "pizza & grill" place.

>>15934254
Burger King burgers are fucking terrible.
Desiccated hunks of burger jerky.

>>15932878
>potatoes taste like starch
No fucking shit

I like their fries better than mcdonalds or others. Like, mcd's are just mushy while the more starchy thicc bk fry tastes like potato and can hold more ketcuhp

To be fair, french fry quality is very dependent on how they were prepared and how long they have been sitting around.

I've had decent BK fries before, and maybe it's just the BKs in my area are all staffed by retards, but it seems like they are always under-cooked and under-salted and cold, which makes them terrible.

Any one of the like 12 McDonalds that I go to in my town if I order fries they are perfect every time, cooked just right, salted just right, and piping hot.

Also, BK onion rings are like the worst goddamn onion rings on the planet I don't know why people would ever say they are good. Jack in the Box actually has good onion rings.

For burgers, I can again compare BK to McDonalds; every time I get a Quarter Pounder the beef has been freshly cooked to order, sometimes with a very slight bit of pink in the middle which is absolute proof that it hasn't been sitting around. Every time I order a whopper, I get a wet, dry, lifeless patty that has been sitting around in a steam warmer for who knows how long.

Burger King sucks ass. McDonalds has them beat at everything, and I'm not even sure it's the ingredients it just seems that McDonalds has their procedures down and Burger King hires retards.

>>15932921
>you were 8 in 1997
No I wasn't?

>>15932863
There chicken nuggets are even worse. Never order the nuggets.

do other people agree that the fries were better before they made them thicker?

>>15937676
yes

>>15932863
burger king is the only fast food that actually makes me vomit

>>15932863
These taste like actual piss to me. Their $1 burgers and onion rings slap though

>>15932863
I really like their deals. you can get a lot for cheap.

>>15932867
in the late 90s, early 2000s, they were the best.

>>15932898
>worst
They're pretty good. They're never soggy at least like Wendy's.

Fuck places that sell these

>>15938786
I like crinkle cuts, those ridges really hold on to ketchup.

>>15938786
they're fine

>Dries your mouth

>>15938937
mmmmmm

>>15938937
Drink water you fat fuck

>>15938786
Both Portillos and Culvers do this kind justice. God bless the USA.

>>15933280
More like shit. I can't dip their retard fries in anything. Their fries are so fucking small. The least they can do is deep fry them with seasoning.

>>15938937
Steak fries are based

>>15932863
I must be in some bizarro world, BK fries are one of the only good fast food french fries. This must be the same world where In n Out and McDonalds fries are considered good too.

>>15939594
its just that a majority of places do them so bad that they can be one of the driest fries there are

>>15932870
The onion rings are awful too

Why do they need to mold onion rings out of onion mush when onions literally fall apart into rings when cut? Other places do not have this problem.

Mcdonalds knows it can't get Americans to make onion rings properly so it does not sell them. Why must Burger King try and fail?

Do their onion rings even have onions in them?
Seems like they are just onion flavored dough.

>>15932863
>buys shitty fastfood
>is surprised it's shitty

>>15933274
You just have pleb taste m8. T. Another finn

For me, this.

McDonalds fry > all else

I still remember in 2011 when they introduced these thick BK fries here in Europe. I was fucking mesmerized, best fast food fries ever. These US ones look the same but not sure if they taste the same

>>15932863
I worked at a Burger King before. The fries we made were fucking sickening. We'd change the oil in the fryers maybe every 2 months or so, and the shit that would come out of there was rancid. Customers love it though.

>>15932921
Are you psychic?

>>15941876
What is your opinion on the Whopper?

>>15932863
Bullshit, fresh and salty they are lovely

>>15939778
Because with normal onion rings if you fuck them up slightly (which a fast food place probably does a shitload) the entire onion comes out of the breading when you bite in and gives you a big ol slap in the mouth

>>15932870
nah these are awful and taste soggy to boot

>>15943105
Cope

>>15932863
So should I put you down as "Satisfried" or "Extremely Satisfried"?

>>15943247
>Satisfried
Nice

>>15932863
only reason to go to burger king is the bacon double cheeseburger and onion rings. everything else is garbage.

>>15938647
what was especially fucked is that at the time i only chose bk over the other places because their fries were so damn good

>>15943416
the entire menu is garbage, you only go there to get the garbage you like and hope they don't stop selling it or change it into something unrecognizable

>t. mac & cheetos refugee

>>15938647
>>15943659
I feel like wendys old fries were the peak fast food fry for a while, definitely over bk

>>15936784
>eating enough fast food to have a nuanced opinion on it

>>15932863
I like them

>>15944328
I like you

>>15932870
All of Burger King is fucking gross I haven’t eaten they for 6 years, the last time I ate I order a chicken sandwich that motherfucker was 70% mayonnaise. I took one bite and a very healthy soup spoon of mayo fell out of the ass end of my sandwich

>>15932909
>recently
that was eight years ago

>>15941880
yes

make some yourself, is not that hard

>>15938647
>>15943659
I thought I was the only person who felt like they were great at that point
