Fast Foods you love but are (or not) afraid to eat (Pic heavy)

[DainBramaged]

Poll question: Fast Foods you love but are (or not) afraid to eat (Pic heavy)

We all love food, face it, if you don't, then you are R2D2 (IMHO). But some of us ONLY eat what is absolutely perfectly nutritrous for us, while the rest of us dive in and worry later.

Which one of these monumentally bad nationally famous fast food items do you love (or hate!) the most? (Yes, I probably missed YOUR favorite, sorry I thought about this first nanner nanner)

1. i've never had any of those. i can't believe anyone would eat that baconator thing.

it's like a full day's calories & more than a full day's fat for a man.

they must have some committee trying to think up the most disgusting, fattening sandwiches possible.

on the few occasions i have fast food it's usually a soft-serve ice cream & a regular cheeseburger hold the meat.

[DainBramaged]

3. I'm on a 2300 calories a day diet (pre-new meds)

I think the ONLY thing I can eat is the Sonic dog, it's 650 calories.

[Systematic Chaos]

54. You could eat four 7-layer burritos with a bit of room to spare.

Each has 510 calories, so you'd be looking at 2,040. Honestly, that's not going to fill you very well for a whole day.

The bean burritos with the cheese included have 370 calories, so you could have six of those. I eliminate the cheese, which will strip about 70 calories and 8 grams of fat. Now you're up to seven for a day. That's a shitload of food, and as far as fast food goes, better than most.

[DainBramaged]

85. My stomach has shrunk like crazy so a bowl of cereal fills me up.

Has to lose about 25 pounds because new meds are going to jack me up a lot. Got 10 to go.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Gluten allergy, so NONE of them for me

I like not having to run to the bathroom, sorry.

[Freetradesucks]

4. The Baconater looks gnarly.

[Hannah Bell]

7. the picture has 6 beef patties, 6 slices of cheese.

[DainBramaged]

12. You are right, it has 6 of each.

I couldn't eat it anyway. I peeled the descrption off a slow loading site.

[Obamanaut]

74. They think it has three slices of never frozen patties, not 6. nt

Baconator Triple
A premium bun filled with three 1/4 lb. fresh, never frozen patties. Piled high with Applewood smoked bacon, mayo, ketchup, and sliced American cheese all made to order. It's enough to make your mouth water.

[tammywammy]

33. That's because it's not the right sandwich

Quick Google Images reveals:



The new premium burger packs a mountain of taste with six strips of hickory smoked bacon on top of ½ lb. of hot n' juicy beef with American cheese, ketchup and mayonnaise. http://www.junkfoodnews.net/page2.html

Edited to add: the pic I posted is the double. The pic of the triple from the Wendy's website is:

40. (sigh) can't we just have fun with this, Jesus on a popsicle stick

I'm going to bed. I just wish ONCE on DU people would stop beating the shit out of each other's threads for minute details.

[tammywammy]

43. Sorry that you think posting a correct picture is "beating the shit out of" you

:shrug:

I was just showing the poster the right sandwich.

[DainBramaged]

46. WHY DOES IT MATTER??????

what are you the picture police tonight?

Shit.

90. Jesus on a Popsicle Stick is one of my least favorite fast foods

Far prefer Holy Mother Mary On a Grilled Tortilla

[librechik]

92. self delete-wrong spot

[NV Whino]

6. Regular taco

or a Baja chicken chalupa is about the extent of my fast food fetish from Taco Bell.

[DainBramaged]

24. Me too, plain taco is just a nice treat now.

[BrklynLiberal]

8. This needs to be balanced out with something like this...

[valerief]

9. They ALL look gross. Sorry. Why not put a pizza or ice cream there? nt

[DainBramaged]

10. (sigh) another party pooper

Do you understand the concept of this poll? These are THE WORST of the worst offered by national fast food chains.

[valerief]

14. Oops. My nausea at the sight of them dampened my sense of humor.

Or maybe my sense of humor was too subtle.

Hehehehehehehe!

[tabatha]

11. Yecch.

I'd rather have a handful of nuts.

[rucky]

13. I'll take a coney dog over a burger any day.

But A&W's is better than Sonic's

[Canuckistanian]

15. I look at the Double Down and think....

It would be great with a thick, rare steak in the middle.

What a way to die.

[DainBramaged]

20. Now you SEE what they all look like together

And I've eaten two 7 layer burrito SUPREMES in the past (the Taco bell is being rebuilt by me I am sad).

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. They all look disgusting

But that KFC thing is probably the grossest.

[RufusTFirefly]

17. Bookmarking this thread

If ever I find myself having second thoughts about being a vegetarian, I'll simply return to this thread. This collection of pictures is sure to convince me that I've made the right choice.

:puke:

[Silent3]

63. I'm hardly a vegetarian...

...but everything in that list except the seven-layer burrito (which is quite modest by comparison at 530 calories, and not so much meat and fat making up those calories) strikes me as pretty gross too.

[HereSince1628]

18. You left off 'all of the above,' Diabetes and coronary artery disease

have me shy of all those and the shake and fries that ought to go with them!!!!!

[Bunny]

19. I'll have all ten! Just supersize my Lipitor and bring it on. With a Diet Pepsi.

Actually, all of them are off-limits to me and frankly, most of them look disgusting.x(

[marmar]

21. That first pic looks like something from the movie "Alien"

:scared:

[jkshaw]

32. Yes, marmar --

what in the world IS it?

[Fla_Democrat]

22. I regret that I have but one vote

and that the Hardee's Monster thickburger isn't on the list. Several there I have eaten, and will again. :evilgrin:

:smoke:

[DainBramaged]

23. Hardee's 2/3 lb. Monster Chili Thickburger just has chili on it

it's your fav with a Mexican twist, LOL. Just a few more calories, not to worry.

[Lisa0825]

25. That is not the Taco Bell 7 Layer Burrito.

The Taco Bell 7 Layer Burrito is actually meatless (rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, low fat sour cream, and guacamole). The image info for the one you posted is for a Taco John's menu item. At 510 calories, I doubt the 7 Layer would stack up to the others.

[DainBramaged]

27. it's the best representative picture I could find

Shoot me.

:eyes:

[tammywammy]

30. ...

[demmiblue]

51. Lulz... not very representative.

:rofl:

[Lisa0825]

31. If you are looking for unhealthy decadent items, I think this would be a better choice

from Taco Bell...

Grilled Stuffed Beef Burrito at 700 calories.



I prefer the steak grilled stuffed burrito, but it is not quite as bad :evilgrin: I only have it about twice a year.

[Lisa0825]

35. BTW.... didn't mean to be a bother.... I just luuuurve me some Taco Bell

and I am way more familiar with the menu than a person should be. LOL

[tammywammy]

50. I like the cheesy gordita crunch

But I only have it every few months. I'm not a big fast food person.

[TK421]

26. I would love to try that Coney hot dog from Sonic...as for the rest of them

meh, I would say the only one I really like is Arbys

[notadmblnd]

28. I wouldn't eat any of them

Not because I'm so health conscious. I just don't like cheese products on my foods.

[Touchdown]

55. The KFC one can be had in just a fillet meal w/o cheese.

Substitute the potato wedges for cole slaw and it's not as bad as the Double Down up there.

[Marie Marie]

29. If it doesn't contain enormous amounts of dark chocolate

then you are just wasting my time.

[OhioChick]

34. While I don't indulge in fast food too often....

That chicken sandwich from KFC is really good. :)

[defendandprotect]

36. VEGAN here . . . . . .

All I see in that is filth and pain -- and sickness --

cancer ... well, you know the whole list, I guess!

[demmiblue]

39. R2D2... is that you?

:rofl:


Whining because people eat a healthy diet... that is a new one!

Well, maybe not. Some people seem threatened by that fact.

[defendandprotect]

52. Eating animals is not a "healthy diet" either for you or the animal...check w/your doctor!!

[demmiblue]

53. Um...

I was siding with you!

:hi:

[defendandprotect]

57. Sorry . . . you could have fooled me -- !!!

What are you eating -- veggie or semi-veggie or what?

[undeterred]

37. Reading this post makes me so glad to be a vegetarian.

[depakid]

38. GAK- every one of those is revolting

Frankly, I think countries should adopt proposals like the Australian Greens have (although some of the Scandinavian countries go further):

Greens leader Bob Brown will today announce in Melbourne the party's plan to:

IMPOSE a 1.5 per cent levy on alcohol and junk food ads.

REQUIRE health information to be included in all commercials.

CREATE a fund to replace alcohol and junk-food sponsorship in community sports clubs.

Senator Brown said the tax would cover TV, radio, cinema and print ads.

He hoped it would encourage healthier food. "Australia cannot afford to allow the junk food and alcohol companies to make billions at the expense of the health and wellbeing of Australians," Senator Brown told the Herald Sun.

"The alcohol industry spends $109 million on advertising a year, while fast-food companies are among the top 50 advertisers, spending around $165 million on advertising a year." The Greens estimate the tax will raise $2.45 million a year from junk food and $1.6 million from alcohol.

The levy would be higher for drinks with a high alcohol content and foods with high levels of fat, sugar and salt. Richard Di Natale, a doctor and the Greens' Victorian Senate candidate, said the $4 million would be used to encourage healthy eating. He said it would also help tackle the growing obesity problem and the rising cost of alcohol-related diseases, road accidents and crime.

[Missy Vixen]

41. Never eaten any of them

I do, however, enjoy Burgermaster in Bellevue's cheeseburgers. Grass-fed, local beef, one patty.

I also like Chipotle's grilled chicken burrito.

Just throwing this one out here for the fat patrol: I haven't been to Chipotle in a month. I haven't been to Burgermaster in three weeks.

[FirstLight]

42. MY Guilty sin #1 Big Mac!

I have been known to have a big mac attack once in a while...though we are down to eating at MCD only once a month thank goodness!

[Danger Mouse]

44. I don't think I could bring myself to eat any of these.

:(

[jillan]

45. Carls Jr Charbroiled Santa Fe Chicken - omg they are soooo good!

[Mimosa]

80. ^ Yum to green chiles on that sandwich ^

Dain, I like the topic even though i haven't eaten those....things! ;)

[Touchdown]

47. The Double Down... hands down!

I can eat 3 of those for the same calories as the Double Whopper next to it.

Wait! Triple Whopper. Who eats those? Anyhow... 4 Double Downs.

[Systematic Chaos]

49. Taco Bell 7-Layer Burritos are pretty good.

But having gone vegan I'd only eat their regular bean burritos now, minus the cheese, but with extra sauce and onions and added jalapenos. Now that's spicy and tasty and barely a buck apiece.

[Joe Bacon]

56. Nothing beats an In-N-Out Double Double Animal Style

They smear mustard on the beef patties and serve the burger with grilled onions :party:

[Renew Deal]

58. I love all the fast food talk around DU lately.

This thread. White Castle vs. Krystals. Best Fried Chicken thread!

:9

[flvegan]

59. Fast food? Before I was vegan, I could get this KILLER fish 'n chips here in Tampa.

It was haddock. Honest to the gods haddock. Served up just like going to McD's.

Of course, I don't eat that anymore (matter of fact, I think the place got knocked down to put up a WalMart or something. But I did truly love going there. Reminded me of home.

I also loved the Arby's double thing. No cheese though, as that was disgusting. It did have to be just dredged in Horsey Sauce though.

Now, I don't do fast food really. I like to cook, and most of those places are just nasty dirty.

[Silent3]

60. I'm hardly a anti-junk food purist, but...

...the only one of those things I've ever eaten is a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito, and it's been ages since I had one of those.

Even when I eat fast food, I usually stop a step or three down from the extreme menu items, and ask for no mayo, or for other fatty sauces and spreads to be held.

I used to, until very recently, like to get bacon on a burger. For the past six months or so, however, I've lost my taste for it. Adding bacon just seems like overkill to me lately.

My real weakness for fatty foods and junk calories are desserts anyway, particularly desserts involving ice cream, not these megameat monstrosities.

[SoCalDem]

61. None of the above!

A Jr Arby is great once in a while..as is a yearly Whopper Jr (no cheese), but those pictured are gross & totally unappetizing..

[Prism]

62. Mmm, Taco Bell . . . *homer drool*

It's my one fast food allowance now, once every month or two.

It's a shame they no longer have their Border Lite menu. It was reduced fat and calories, but honestly it tasted just fine. I used to be able to grab up a regular taco or two once in awhile and not feel like I had to pile extra miles on the morning run to offset it.

I am blessed to have worked at a McDonald's throughout high school. To this day, I don't want anything to do with fast food burger anything, no matter what the chain.

Even In N' Out O.o

[DainBramaged]

77. A couple of plain tacos every couple of months is just fine

Yum.

[Prism]

87. The double decker is also the devil's food

But it's something I'm sometimes willing to risk purgatory for. "We're just going to slather this in re-fried beans." Someone deserves a Nobel in physics for coming up with that.

[Prometheus Bound]

64. I'm a meat eater, but I wouldn't touch any of those.

[Initech]

65. I do love a good In-N-Out double double.

[TheKentuckian]

66. I fear no fat or carbs but I am picky and I don't eat pork so I'm kinda meh on the options

Heck, I don't even like cheese on a burger but love a cheesesteak so you can work that out yourself.

Hook me up with some spicy fried chicken though!

[quinnox]

67. I used to eat the double quarter pounder with cheese regularly

It is a decent tasting burger. Nowadays if I am at McDonalds (which is rarely) I get the normal quarter pounder instead of the double.

But my favorite hamburger by far is not listed, a Tillamook cheeseburger from Burgerville. Probably because Burgerville is only a regional chain and not nationwide, but they have really good fast food, and miles ahead of the other big burger and fast food chains in terms of quality.

[Bozita]

68. How about Turbaconducken (Turducken Wrapped in Bacon)? - see pic

And here's the "How To:"
http://bacontoday.com/turbaconducken-turducken-wrapped-in-bacon/

[Mimosa]

82. A good turducken is delicious.

Bacon does NOT belong. A turducken is a symphony of poultry flavours.

[Mimosa]

69. Never had any of those *sob*

Somehow I feel I'm missing something. :(

[Radical Activist]

70. I used to eat a double big mac in college.

It was disgustingly glorious and people were amazed whenever I finished one.

[jgraz]

71. GAK -- no desire to eat any of that garbage

:puke:

[AtomicKitten]

72. #11: In-N-Out's Double-Double with grilled onions.

They account for about 3% of my otherwise 97% vegetarian diet.

[petronius]

73. I'll eat the McDs double 1/4 pounder, and maybe that corndog, but the rest

just look like freakish excesses, and if I'm going for gluttonous excess there are local places which are far superior to the chain options...

[sylveste]

75. they all look good to me

love me some fast food, i'd be happier on thanksgiving with a bag of whoppers and fries than the standard turkey, scalloped corn and cranberry sauce that mom always serves. i've even brought it up a few times to no avail.

[Lucian]

76. Reason #2 why Americans are so overweight.

That stuff makes me want to :puke:.

[Erose999]

78. I voted for Arby's. I met their founder once and he seemed to be a genuine nice guy. They sponsor a

lot of programs at Kennesaw State University.

I love their Jamocha shakes too. And curly fries.

[DainBramaged]

83. Arby's Onion Petals

[ThomWV]

79. I eat 4 or 5 of those Double Quarter-pounders a year, and I'm not quite dead yet

If I'm out traveling out on the highway and I get hunger, and particularly if I have to piss too (because all McDonald's have clean restrooms) I'll stop and eat a double quarter pounder. This happens four or five times a year. It hasn't killed me yet and I'm not overweight by any stretch of the imagination.

[HughBeaumont]

81. As far as calories go, the Double Down isn't all that bad.

Of course, Double-Downs are also appetizer-sized compared to the rest.

I'd have to say I used to like the Triple Whopper (no mayo or cheese, of course) up there before I turned 30 and could eat 12 plates of food in a sitting and not gain an ounce.

[Buns_of_Fire]

84. *sigh* You just can't FIND a good Lutefisk Supreme with a side of Haggisfries (TM) anymore. nt

[negativenihil]

86. the picture provided for the 7 layer burrito

is incorrect.

The 7 layer burrito is actually vegetarian - http://www.tacobell.com/menuitem/7-Layer-Burrito

To lump that in with the other items you list is rather unfair imo.

[DainBramaged]

88. I KNOW THAT READ UP THE THREAD

It was the quickest one available that wasn't coded that I didn't have to copy to Photobucket first.


Another photo cop. :eyes:

[Obamanaut]

89. Having people point out errors seems to be stressful. nt

[and-justice-for-all]

91. I do not eat beef or pork for that matter....

I used to like a whopper once in awhile back in the day or Roast Beef, but never with cheese on it.

I would eat the double down, with out the cheese and bacon; just eat the chicken. We do not eat a lot of that crap anymore, we still have our moments of course.

[librechik]

93. Thanks for reinforcing my recent decision to stop eating meat

these all look pretty awful to me right now.

[DainBramaged]

94. You are welcome!

:9

[LostinVA]

95. None -- I haven't eaten fast food in years

Except for Five guys for mu birthday last year, and that is at least quality fast food, and the occasional sub.
