Thank God I hate pickles!
by bootlegga on Thu Jul 27, 2006 11:31 am
Here is something that happened to me last night and has made me swear off Burger King. Who knows, it might extend to all fast food too (not that I eat it very often these days).
My roommate went to a nearby Burger King (4214 - 137 Avenue) and picked up two Whoppers, one for each of us. When I found out there was a Whopper in the fridge for me, I thought great! I didn't have supper so I can have that. My roommate knows I don't care for onions or pickles on my burger and usually orders them without.
I unwrap the burger, and lift off the top. Sure enough there were pickles. I lifted up the pickles and this is what I found!
I have no idea what bug this is, although I'm guessing some sort of beetle or cockroach! It's not all that big, about the size of your pinky fingernail...still, it's quite disgusting!
I called the Burger King (780-478-1029) and they accused me of putting it there! Yeah, like I'm about to waste a perfectly good Whopper...
Well, if they don't want to even give me back my $3 they can enjoy all the publicity this blog brings!
All I can say is, thank God I hate pickles!

There is no such thing as a 'perfectly good' Whopper.
Did you know that they are flame broiled on only one side? The frozen burgers are put on a conveyor and travel through the broiler, get flame broiled on one side then drop out the back. The burgers are still a bit pink inside when they drop out the back. The employee then must ensure that when they put the patty on the bun they put the flame broiled side up so when the customer lifts the top bun they can see the grill lines.....
Also, they have a cook schedule to prepare burgers based on the time of day and how busy it will be. Burgers that get the works are made and passed through to sit under the heat lamp. Burgers for custom orders are already cooked but sit in a steamer for upto 15 mins until a custom order comes in...
I'd go to McDonald's before I went to Burger King....
I recommend you stick to Harvey's or Wendy's though. At these places the burgers are cooked on both sides and you can be assured that your lettuce and tomato will still be cold while the burger patty is still hot.

In all fairness, it would have been the first Whopper I'd have eaten in probably two or three years. The last time I had one I had indigestion for a couple of days and swore it off then. And I've only had fast food maybe three or four times since the beginning of April, as I'm watching what I eat and exercising, you know, the whole 'healthy' lifestyle thing.
This is just more reason to continue to stay away from that shite.
