Time for a fast food rant...
- I'm out cruising on the weekend when I start to crave a chocolate shake. Now, I like McDonald's shakes, but on this occasion, I decide no one really makes a milikshake like DQ. So I head to the new DQ "Grill 'n' Chill" where the only shake on the menu is something called a "Curly Shake." (If you're unfamiliar with the Grill 'N' Chill concept, basically they just take everything on a regular Dairy Queen menu and make and/or serve it slightly differently. And there's a fireplace, or something.) So anyway, I get my Curly Shake - it's a regular chocolate shake, with an extra dollop of soft serve on top, complete with DQ's trademark curl. It's given to me with a big plastic dome lid. Great, I think, until I realize I can't put a straw through the lid, and will have to remove it. Now, I'm in my car, and stuck with a shake with no lid. Plus, when the shake is gone, you pretty much need a spoon to eat that extra, unmixed soft serve that has sat on the top the whole time.
- By the way, I tried a spicy Burger King Tendercrisp. Good, but not as good as a spicy Big Crunch from KFC.
