Burger King is often actually worth it though. Here in Scotland anyway.

I always just order the burger and take it home to have with a healthier side option.

This week I've had a peppercorn Angus which was pretty good, and yesterday a Bacon Double Cheese XL which was almost transcendental. Ordered in the drive-thru but had to wait five minutes in the car park, so I guess it was cooked from scratch.

Anyone from Glasgow area reading this - these were both from the Kingsgate Burger King in East Kilbride.

Even after taking it home and reheating it in the oven it was so fresh, tasty and juicy.

Some of my family now live in the states, and when they come home for a visit always go for Burger King (as well as the obvious fish & chips) as they say the burgers in Scotland are way better than those at Burger King in the US. Anyone got their own opinions on this?

McDonald's actual burgers have always been the poorest of all the big chains in my experience.

I quite like their breakfasts though. Good coffee for a burger joint too.

Fast food in other countries is much better than the US.

Most things are better in other countries than the US. Some days I believe the Government is actively trying to kill us

Apple has legit said to other countries "no, no, no, we don't sell YOU guys that stuff. We sell it to the dumbass Americans."

EU forces Apple to not use anti-consumer and unfair techniques so they hate selling on the market.

Skill issue, Apple is terrible anyway.

The worst offenders I think are websites blocking access for the EU due to the GDPR. But then wrapping that message in some corporate lies like "we value your privacy..." if you valued privacy truly, the GDPR wouldn't be an issue.

I like to open an incognito page just for those so they don't get anything
