You are wrong!
Big Mac (hmmmmmmmBig Mac!) is the business, Macdonalds fries are better as well. BK fries are the Devils work!
However, Kentuckys fries are the best!
BTW - No connection with Macdonalds other than i am a fat b@stard who likes junk food!

Went in at lunch today. Erm HELLO, 2.99 for a Chicken Whopper - are they having a laugh - 3 quid for a fecking chicken burger - thats outragous [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
You can have a meal in Maccys for that, in fact, just what I did, walked out of BK in disgust and went to maccys and had a lovely McChicken Mayo and Double Cheeseburger from the McChoice menu for 1.98. Much better IMHO.
Sort it out BK.

Yep BK has always been a rip off. Most of their burgers are more expensive than a maccy d's meal.
Their fries are minging as well.
KFC is good value. £3.99 gets u fries, drink, 3 bits of chicken and 2 hot wings. Fills up even a fat ******* like me

Dont know about the size of a chicken burger(dont like chicken), but BK burgers are usually much larger than MaccyD burgers.
Like a Whopper meal is better value than a Big Mac meal, you get more for your money at BK, its just MaccyDs is nicer.

Lol @ p1 
Bk is not better than maccys for its fries and meat, they just charge loads more. They've always been a rip off, like 4+ quid for a meal when Maccys was 2.88 but a 3 quid chicken burger is a joke.
Can go to a lovely lunchtime burger van and get a half pound burger, bacon, egg, onion, cheese for 2.50 and its bl00dy lovely, shame you can't get the same sort of thing in town.

Aye. The flame-grilled flavour lol. My mate used to work in BK and she said its pretty much all pre-cooked. They just heat it up and she did mention the use of a microwave. Still must admit there burgers do taste better but I like chicken nuggets anyways.
And Maccy D's chocolate thickshakes rock

BK fries are Nik Naks that went wrong. The cardboard packet tastes nicer.
If you must eat burgers, McD is the daddy, imo. Avoid the milkshakes though as the crap they put in them far outweighs the burgers questionable contents. Allegedly.
Or alternatively get a good beef chow mein for the same price.

And why is it every Airport has a BK but no Mcd's.
Err... I'm starving, what shall I have, **** can't leave the airport, gotta use BK, that'll be £6.50 for a ****ty meal!!!
and why, every motorway services is BK, and they double their prices for the hell of it...
And why, even in Spain, service at BK is slow and crap...is it a company policy...
And why, every BK restaurant looks like Mc'ds bin store, **** all over the floor, grease everywhere etc
Big Mac rules!!!!!
Rant over
feel much better now.

Why...Oh why can BK give out loads of discount vouchers in local free papers, for buy one get one free, Bacon Dbl Cheese for a quid and STILL make a profit. When its normal price I always think f*ck that it's totally over priced!!!

Prepare to feel ill.......
I used to work with a guy whose brother was a regional manager for BK. He told me not to drink BK milkshakes as a large proportion of the contents is reconstituted chicken fat.
Nice.

hhhhmmmmmmmm seems I'm not alone in thinking BK is overpriced and rubbish. Big Mac and McChicken Sandwich are great, rather than the Chicken Royale - have yet to have one not dripping in grease, and as for the whopper - sorry, big mac whips its a$$, the sauce you see Agree at the overpricing in Services and Airports but its the same for all the shops - except the Tax Free at airports, but thats a different story!!
Paul,
Thats good to hear mate, pleased for you, will be sure to give you a shout if I'm ever up that way A load of us will be passing by on the M1 next month, keep your ears open for us
See ya!

Kebab van for me. At least there are no pretensions and you KNOW you are getting a lard burger with extra botulism at no extra cost.
Kebab van every time innit.

Tax free at airports ?? I assume you are referring to certain electronics shops where you can get certain consoles 30 quid cheaper !!!

P.S. KFC Chicken Variety meal is the way forward. I just love a box full of greasy bones.
