you haven't missed a thing. it's just another fast food joint.

Unless you are averse to that sort of fast food, it is one of your
better options.

In California and Texas anyway.

I guess this goes along with the lady that burned herself with

And they walk among us?
The reason the woman was burned, if I recall correctly, is because the
coffee's temperature was too hot (obviously) and because the ****ty car
she was in had no cup holder. In the end, if McDonald's can be sued for
the coffee being too hot then the car manufacturer should also have
been
sued for not providing a place for the old bag to put her drink.
you don't recall correctly, or at all, actually.

mcdonald's knowingly served coffee that was far too hot for human
consumption, which they knew could cause serious burns, which had
burned over 700 other people and they had *no* interest in changing
anything.

Of course, the woman who put the cup between her legs and drove away
with it still between her legs bears no responsibility at all.


To clarify: she was not driving the car, she was a passenger. The
driver drove off while she held the cup of coffee between her legs.

Why did the driver get off the hook? That was reckless
endangerment. The driver caused the burns by taking off in an
unsafe manner.

Good grief. Do you mean that McDonald's didn't add that before
handing

her the coffee?

I guess one reason that we prefer Timmie's is that they add the
cream/milk/sugar before they hand you the coffee. And while it's
hot,
it's never too hot.

I guess it comes down to expectations and what you're used to, but
I'd
be quite put off if I ordered coffee and they tried to add sugar or
creamer before they handed me the coffee. Good grief, do they also
pre-condiment your burger? :-)

You order and get exactly what you want: nothing, cream, double
milk, etc etc. "Double double" means double cream with double
sugar. For some
reason, a lot of people like that. Not me, I hate sugar in coffee. ;-)

Have a good day,

In California a "Double-Double" is the In-n-Out Burger go-to burger.

I've not eaten at an In-n-Out Burger place yet.

The double-double is also a a burger at a great independent place on
Long Island "All-American Burger". It was featured on Travel
Channel's "Hamburger Paradise" show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5ivMlIq4sI

Here's their double double:

Hmmm...
Note:

"Double-Double" is an In-n-Out registered trademark.
http://www.in-n-out.com/mobile/double-double.aspx

The name may have changed to "Double-Header". It's been around since
1963, not as long as In-n-Out. Perhaps they had to change the name due
to the trademark. Not far from my office some years ago, a new
hamburger joint was being built. People got excited over the news that
it was going to be In-n-Out. It turned out that it was a place trying
to play off of In-n-Out's name. They never completed construction.
Just as well.

There are fast food joints and there are fast food joints. They all
have a lot in common, but they are not all equal in quality. As far as
I'm concerned, In-n-Out Burger is not the best, but it's one of the
better choices.

And any of the chains may be very good in one respect and very poor in
another respect. For example, I think McDonalds hamburgers are among
the worst, but their french fries are among the best. But we don't all
have the same tastes, so not everyone will agree with me.

definitely not. it's a run of the mill fast food joint, only more
crowded because of the hype.

most people do. mcdonald's fries are widely regarded as being among the
best, at least for the major fast food chains.

and from savageduck's link,

we-ate-every-single-item-on-the-secret-menu.html
Everyone knows that In-N-Out's fries are notoriously bad despite
being fresh cut in-house‹it's because they only fry them once instead
of the superior McDonald's-style double-fry‹but there are ways to
improve them.

I do not do much fast food, but when I do I mostly go to In-N-Out. Tried,
for the first time in my life, a Big Mac about a month ago. Yuck. The extra
bun is useless, the meat was flavorless, the sauce was too much mayo and
there was too much of it. The sesame seeds and the pickles are nice
additions but overall it was just nasty. Oh, and I went all out in my
ordering... and found the fries were oddly sweet (not to my taste) and the
ice cream completely flavorless (though the chocolate it was dipped in was
passably good).

Have a good friend who HATES In-N-Out and loves McDonald's fries and thinks
the only fast food burger worth eating is the Big Mac.

Which of us is right?

Both... it is what WE prefer.
