How crazy is it to stop at MULTIPLE fast-food places to build a PERFECT fast-food meal? If you have picky kids, you probably feel FORCED to do this, or if you yourself have a sophisticated fast-food palate.
There’s a new survey out on Americans’ favorite items at various restaurants, and it includes an “ideal fast-food plate,” which requires stops at FOUR different fast-food establishments.
It features: A Burger King burger, a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, with McDonald’s French fries and chicken nuggets, washed down with a soda or Dairy Queen milkshake.
(Yikes. I’m surprised they didn’t send you to Sonic or something, specifically for THEIR soft drink machine.)
Obviously, this isn’t very practical, but it could be possible for a work lunch, if different coworkers were sent to each place.
Here’s the full ranking for some of them:
Favorite Fast-Food Hamburger: Burger King, followed by Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Five Guys, and Sonic. Arby’s ranked last, in 10th.
Favorite Fast-Food Chicken Sandwich: Chick-fil-A, followed by Popeyes, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King. The Southeastern chain Cook Out ranked last.
Favorite Fast-Food Chicken Nuggets: McDonald’s, followed by Chick-fil-A, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Popeyes. Wawa ranked last.
Favorite Fast-Food French Fries: McDonald’s, followed by Wendy’s, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, and Five Guys. In-N-Out ranked last.
Currently, the average person says they spend about $12 on a meal for themselves from ONE fast-food restaurant. But only 10% of people believe that price is acceptable.
(Speaking of fast-food, remember Don Gorske, the Big Mac fan who’s eaten more than 35,000 Big Macs? Well, he HAS tried McDonald’s new “Big Arch” burger, and he wasn’t impressed. He says, “I wasn’t really crazy about it. I don’t like [the Big Arch] as much as the Big Mac.”)
