"Taco Bell's plans are to do breakfast with mostly portable items that its Millennial base can hold in one hand and cellphones in the other."

"'We don't use buns or burgers or circular things at breakfast — that's not who we are."

otm, circular things have no place at breakfast!!

i only acknowledge mcdonald's and carl's jr fast food breakfasts.

i am ok with this taco bell invention in theory. but i'd prefer that they use their lab time to invent new ways of combining ground beef, nacho cheese, and frito-lay products.

otm, circular things have no place at breakfast!!

heathen. my 2 year-old and i have gotten a lot of mileage out of pancakes this winter.

you could tell the statement was super-serious by the second exclamation point

was hoping that the "heathen" part of mine would get the same point across.

in japan those pancakes would be rectangular

otm

Yeah, fuck you, doughnuts!

and bagels!

it'd make things a lot easier if places would organize their menus by shape ffs

pizza: squares or triangles?

that is a fantastic idea

for me to poop out

the lettuce will help you! it's not a sandwich so much as it is a "sandwich system".

Disgusting and I want one anyway.

doesn't all the potato just seep out while you eat??

You're right, they should fry that into a potato pancake first.

hash browns already on mcD's menu no?

Menu value pack includes a stuffed animal and the soothing voice of your late mother.

Japanese potato salad is a distinct and wonderful thing (and ace for hangovers).

and i would gladly pay an additional 280 elephants for a basket of wedges to go with

if your food doesn't come with ikea-like instructions, i'm not interested tbh

they had me until broccoli florets

i will cop to wanting to try a mclychee fizz, though it sounds like the name of a one-legged prospector in an old western movie

or lychee mcfizz, either way. Huat ah!

pizza dog does not look good. is it half of a hot dog? or is the hot dog submerged into the pizza?

mcdonald's steppin on arby's curly fry game outside of america i see

excuse me, "golden twister fries"

iirc arby's uses them as a way to recycle substandard potatoes into a saleable product

iirc arby's roast beef is made from powder and gelatin

prosperity beef, mcdonald's u.s. should try that one, might deflect some of their labor troubles

I have grown to love austerity beef

Arby's really is the worst tasting chain food I think I have ever eaten

to full appreciate arby's, you have to loudly order two "Big Montanas" and then look around the restaurant expecting everyone's approval.

since chinese new year, traditional fries have been unavailable at mcdonalds in favor of curly fries (at least when i left in february)
DYAO PLEASE CONFIRM

my lunch yesterday was 2 mcdonalds poutines. they replaced the back in the day plastic containers with a waxed cardboard box, which isn't an improvement.
