Yeah one of those frozen prepack burgers at a gas station is like twice as big and I think like 3 bucks. The microwave is free. Or one of those frozen burritos, or a hot dog. Literally anything a gas station has would have a better cost to taste ratio. I'm unsure why anyone eats McDonald's at all still. Even as a desperation you have better choices than mcds lol

Tornadoes are a fucking treat. Gas Station food can be really fucking good. I worked at one in HS (granted, ...20 years ago... fuck) but we had fresh salads, fresh breakfast burgers, and all kinds of sandwiches... shit was dope.

Sounds like a Sheetz or a Wawa. I'm not sure what the West Coast version would be lol.

But I also worked at a place like that but those aren't everywhere so I was just talking standard across the board available everywhere. Lol those tornadoes are great. The Southwest Chicken is what it's called in my area, with some ranch is the best

It's a Michigan staple. Meijer is the best thing.
