Default Junk Food take aways getting cheaper
Times are hard


Burger King each day £1:99 deal
a Whopper for 2 pounds is good at least more veg than McD.

KFC wrap £1:49
with some lettece and cheese.

McD
Cheesburger 99p
has one gerkin in it - needs more.

It's mushed up stuff that is not fit for dog food mixed with cereal, food colouring, preservatives, flavour enhancers and fat.
Would you like fries with that? Have a nice day.

Yes but a Whopper is a big burger
with Real Tomato and other veg
so at Half Price that is good.

I've noticed Fast food is getting pretty expensive to be fair. It's like 8 dollars for a normal meal now. I remember 10 years ago you could have a full value meal for under 4 dollars. Fast food isn't as cheap as it used to be.

Over here Burger King had problems with Horse meat burgers
so this great value £1:99 Burger of the day
is better value than McD
who can not match such a big burger at that price

Of course, that stuff is not meant to be part of anyones daily diet. And BK and MD are not interested in value for money they are interested in profits. They don't want you so full you can't stuff in your macpie, or macicecream do they?

I like Burger King. At least it's grilled and has vegetables in it.
