Burger king: and update

[Jerry Sauk]

Another thing they changed is, the whopper's are now served in a carboard
box instead of just the wrapper. Not sure why, but personally I don't agree
with it becouse it's easier without the box in a car.

Taco Bell also serves Dorito Taco's in a carboard taco holder, which is
extremely difficult in a car. Why are all the company's making the switch
to cardboard?

[Earl]

Normal people don't always eat in their cars.

[gregz]

They get soggy in wrap.

Never wrap anything in foil.

That Sargento cheese isn't limited to use in the car. Some of us work
in offices and enjoy quick access to some sharp cheddar.

the boxe's take up too much room the back seat. now I have to clean
it out every 3 months instead of every 6.

[ViLco]

What about speeding up on a country road and bringing the car windows down
so the air stream cleans it all up for you? That would be a real fast-food
way to clean the back seat.

[Jerry Sauk]

My car only goes 23 mile's an hour on a flat surface. And it wouldnt
make it up a hill steep enough to cruise down at anythnig over 40MPH.
Unless maybe I drive it off a cliff.

Uh, Jerry?

The Whopper is served in a wrapper inside the box.

You know what that means, don't you? It means you can remove the
burger fronm the box and have the selfsame tactile and gustatory
experiences you've been accustomed to for all these years.

Meanwhile, the empty box will sit there quietly on the front passenger
seat until you're ready to stuff all the trash back into the bag. It
won't make a sudden lunge for your gonads while you're driving, I
promise.

An added benefit is that you can open the box and dump your fries into
the lid, making them easier to access than they'd be in their little
bag -- or more likely in your case, their cardboard sleeve, since you
probably order the large size. Plus, you can set the un-eaten part of
the burger down in the other part of the box if you suddenly need both
hands on the steering wheel.

Hope this helps!

Whataburger? Whataname!

There used to be a hamburger stand on San Vicente in L.A. called
Fatburger. Maybe there still is.

I used to love those myself, until a friend of mine who owened a
Wienerscnitzel franchise (the one at Castro and California in downtown
Mountain View) told me they were made from ground-up pig hearts. That
sorta took the edge off my craving, if you know what I mean. :^P

Uhh Geoff? I know your just trying to sound like you know what your talking
about, but the fact that you never actually tried a Whopper recently is
obvious. TRUE it's wrapped inside the box, but it's only HALF wrapped, not
entirely wrapped like it used to be before teh switch. THAT INVOLVES,
COMPLETELY unwrapping the sandwich, REFOLDING the paper and placing it on
your leg's WHILE HODLER THE WHOPPER IN YOUR OTHER HAND. Too much bullshit
and a waste of cardboard. You used to be able to unwrap the whopper with
one hand.

I had one last Saturday, as a matter of fact. I remember it
distinctly, because I was on my way to the office and I was not
pleased.

No, it doesn't. The fact that it's only half-wrapped means you can
eat half of it before you need to adjust the paper, does it not?

Better still, you could grab the burger with your teeth while holding
the wrapper lightly in your hand, and pull it out as far as you want
to before gripping the paper again. Kind of like sliding a
foil-wrapped Nestle's Crunch partway out through the paper sleeve
before opening the foil.

(Are you a fan of the Nestle's Crunch, Jerry? It's my second-favorite
candy bar, second only to the late, lamented Peter Paul Caravelle.

There's no such thing as "a waste of cardboard." Cardboard is made
from tree waste and recycled paper.

But more importantly, why is it important to be able to unwrap a
Whopper with one hand? After getting your food, you could either pull
forward in the drive-through lane or stop briefly in the parking lot,
and unwrap it there (with both hands), then continue on your way.

You were not pleased about going to the office? See steve? Even geoff
hates work. I am th eonly SMART person in this group by actually trying
succesfully to AVOID work.

It's not as simple as that. You mightg half to set teh sandwich down, and
to avoid a mess, you want to set it down on a FLAT WRAPPER on your lap
instead of having to deal with placing it inside a box, wrapper and all,
then getting it out when your ready to eat again.

Too many issue's with the topping's falling out.

Geoff, WASTING CARBOAD IS WASTING MONEY, that they could have passed the
saving's on to the customer.

IT??? Didnt you mean them?? Who said anything about there being only one
whopper? Your plan only works for the first whopper.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. Is that what I said? Of course it isn't.

I don't hate work. I like my job. It interests me, it's fun for the
most part, and it pays very well.

I wasn't displeased about going to the office, in general. I was
displeased about going to the office *because it was Saturday,* and
I'm a Monday-through-Friday kind of guy.

Let me get this straight. You claim that a mess can more effectively
be avoided by setting a sandwich down on a flat wrapper in your lap,
than by setting it down in (1) a wrapper that's wrapped around it, and
(2) in a box?

How can that be? Not only does the wrapper prevent spillage,but the
box immobilizes the sandwich and keeps it from sliding around. Whereas
if it were sitting on your lap, it could very easily slide off in a
turn.


: Better still, you could grab the burger with your teeth while holding

> Too many issue's with the topping's falling out.

Nonsense.

No, belay that. *Stuff* and nonsense.

That's why you only pull the sandwich out of the wrapper partway, only
as far as you need to in order to take a few bites out of it. Kind of
like how, when youre eating one of those Push-Up ice cream treats, you
don't push the whole thing up at once.

They're gonna give you the cardboard anyway,no matter what you do with
it. It's the the regulations that the product has to be sold in
standard packaging. Uniformity is very important in the fast-food
industry. And they've already factored the cost of the box into the
price of the sandwhich.

Tell you what, Jerry. The next time you're at Burger King, ask that
your Whopper be served only in a paper wrapper, without the box, and
that the cost of the box be deducted from your order.

They won't do it. I guaran-effing-tee it.

Not only are the rules about uniform packaging which the franchisee
agreed to, and not only is there no mechanism on the cash registers
for deleting random costs like that, but the cost of a single
cardboard Whopper box is too cheap to measure.

How many of those boxes do you think a typical Burger King goes
through in a month? Hundreds! Multply that by all the Burger Kings
in the country, and you have what's known as an economy of scale: the
more of the boxes are made, the less each one costs. Pretty soon,
they get so cheap that the cost of a single one is insignificant.

And besides all of that, the employees just plain think you were nuts.
Or maybe they'd even think you were a troublemaker, and call the
police. Again.

> IT??? Didnt you mean them?? Who said anything about there being only one
> whopper? Your plan only works for the first whopper.

The *first* Whopper? As in, more than one? Jesus H. gluttonous,
Buddha-bellied Christ with a bucket of KFC waiting in the wings.

Pardon me; I forgot who I was talking to.

And why would it only work for the first Whopper? You could repeat
the process for the second and all subsequent Whoppers, could you not?
Surely you're not going to try and convince me that if you order more
than one Whopper, you unwrap all of them at once? That's...that's
insane, Jerry. They'd get cold.

Which, by the way, is another good reason to accept that box: it holds
the heat in, just like the boxes that takeout pizzars are packaged in.

You're not going to tell me that you refuse the box when you pick up a
takeout pizza, are you?

So your million's of dollar's, muliple women, Gourmet food, busy rich-man
lifestyle isn't worth working a occaisional Saturday? that just proves MY

can work a saturday.

Yes, becouse it's easier to handle. Remember its also easier to accidently
knock the box over becouse it's at least twice as larger, counting the lid.

Very easily? I've never, not even once, had that be a issue. Actually
try DOING it before you make yourself a self-proclamed expert.

BULLSHIT. I've been fighting for year's to get all the store's to do the
same thing.

Becouse there is no gaurentee that there will be a red light when it's
time to start a new burger.

I unwrap them right before I taste them, which is why I prefer NOT the
hassle of carboard box's!
