Read today where a Wyoming couple have been having lunch every day at the same BK for the last 25 Years ! They order a Whopper,a medium order of fries and two side salads with ranch dressing. I can understand being stuck in a rut,but 25 years sounds a little excessive to me. :eek:

Sounds like they have a self esteem problem. If I had Ranch dressing every day for a week, I would hate it forever. I hope their breakfast is more exciting than that.
 
Just read the article--sounds like a nice couple. Maybe a little OC, but then we all have our quirks. Got me thinking about lunch, though.
 
Working outside near a BK for 3 months made their food convenient but after 3 weeks of it a one mile drive elsewhere didn't seem so bad.
 
A guy I used to work with went to the same restaurant every day, had the same thing, and went at the same time. He did the same thing for supper. He also drove the same route to and from work every day.

One day he was driving home and his regular route was detoured. The guy that was driving home with him told me he had a melt down because he had to drive a different way.

He was just weird, not in a rut.
 
We used to see....

There was a buffet pizza joint where my lunch crowd saw the same guy every time somebody went in there. Somebody struck up a conversation with him and he said he ate there every day. Why? He just loved pizza. After many years he stopped coming. People were pretty sure why. BTW the pizza wasn't that great, just plenty of it.

I gained a lot of weight one time because a BK was right across the street from where I worked. Going anyplace else would have required a car trip. But back in those days BK and the other hamburger joints were pretty darn good! Not any more.

My wife theresa has been laid up for about the last 10 months. I estimate that 3 or 4 mornings a week I go to carls jr and get some breakfast biscuits. I sure am getting sick of em but she isnt and I dont cook.
 
I spend all day driving around visiting my construction projects and rarely get to sit down and have a lunch in a restaurant. Burger King has a value double cheeseburger for $1.49 and I have that and a cup of water and no fries or anything else. It's pretty good and doesn't hurt my wallet or my waistline but I would not like it over a couple of times a month.
 
I guess that there's something to be said for knowing what you want. Everyday though, I don't think I could handle it. I have several favorite foods, the key word here being several. I have been known to eat spaghetti four or five days in a week, not from an economic need but because I love it & have a tendency to make a ton when I make it. The sauce freezes well, & I've found you can freeze pasta.:cool:
 
I used to work with a bachelor. I often met up with him at a restaurant and I never seen him order anything but fried eggs and mashed potatoes.
 
I read a study once that said if you want to lose weight eat the same thing (within reason) every day. The idea is that after a while it just becomes fuel and you don't over eat. I been eating oat meal every day for breakfast for going on three years now.

I don't know if I could do BK daily though I can taste that gas they grill their burgers with
 
Do they split the Whopper & Fries? If not that's a awful lot of calories, fat and sodium for one meal when there's still 2 more to go in a day. That's 1060 in calories, 55 grams of fat and 1535 mg of sodium in one sitting. Heck even splitting them equally it's a mess of a meal to have every single day.

Burger King should get them a gift certificate for a good cardiologist! :)
 
I used to eat Totinos pizzas almost every day when I was in college. I still love those little rascals (though I don't eat them every day any more).
