Leftovers Burger doesn't have the same ring.

Lababu popularized blind boxes? How old are you? Cause that shits been around for decades longer then lababu had existed.
What the fuck is a lababu
Yeah, baseball cards are a thing. My Dad had them as a kid in the 40s and 50s and they were not new then.
Sure. Let's just make everything a lootbox.
Fucks sake, another Toyota Camry?! I was hoping for a LandCruiser!
Bad for people with food allergies...
I think the idea is stupid too, but if you know you have a food allergy and willingly walk into problem areas... imagine knowing you have reactions to pickles, but you don't order no pickles on something that comes with pickles, hoping that maybe they'll forget this one time. YOLO?
You're an idiot woth a death wish if you have food allergies and are going to a fast food place. Everything contaminates everything in those kitchens.
Might vary by restaurant and managerial staff, but on my days in MacDonald an order with allergy notice would be handled by an experienced member who would open new bag of everything.
They were a chore, but very rare.
Seriously. All the regulations and corpo speak in the world doesn't change that working conditions are absolutely shit and the employees are doing less than the bare minimum because they are being paid less than the bare minimum.
Bad for people who don't want to become obese and die too.
Most of the time, I choose the smallest offering when I go out because even that’s more than enough. I don’t think I would be happier with a triple bacon monstrosity.
Some of the stuff Wendy's does is obscene.
I think the lack of veggies is worse than the excess of meat. This way it just sits in your colon causing cancer.
As someone with celiac disease, I never expect a ton of legit options at a restaurant so this feels like a weird take. Much less a fast food restaurant.
Some time ago I came up with an idea for a pizza restaurant called Send Pizza that was delivery only, and it had an app, and the app just had one button that said Send Pizza and when you push it we would just send whatever the days' pizza was, no choosing or customising. I thought it would be ideal for parties, hangovers, and weeknight family meals.
Then again, the plan was to have a set schedule, cheese Thursdays, pepperoni Fridays, bbq chicken Saturdays, Neapolitan Sundays, mushroom mondays etc. so at least you'd know what you were getting depending on the day of the week.
Ngl I kinda think it could be neat.
There's a food app called Too Good To Go that lets you pick up mystery bags of leftover food from restaurants for cheap, and if you're not too picky it's actually kinda fun paying $5 for a random meal.
Have it whose way?
Oh hey! Everything old is new again: https://wordhistories.net/2017/01/02/pig-in-poke/
I'll take "swindle" for a thousand.
Not in the US...
I follow a YouTuber who lives in Japan, I think he's American or English, either way, Burger King does some wild stuff over there. Some of it sounds really nasty. Some of it, I'd be willing to try — this is coming from someone who does not eat fast food. Like, I can make an awesome burger at home, in my air fryer, and honestly so can anyone. I get the convenience aspect and I try not to judge those who go for fast food, it's just not for me.
I didn't know they did different stuff in Spain, too. It seems like it's just America that is boring for fast food places. This seems fun. It's not something I'd partake in because I like certainty (goes more into how I prefer my cooking to theirs) but it's a fun concept. I have worked in fast food before and I know there's no way in Hell they're making fresh food for this. You're getting whatever they have left over. If they have nothing left over, maybe there's a new "random" button on the register that picks a protein, picks a bread, picks toppings, and to the line workers, it's as though the person actually ordered that weirdness. And they just make it.
Mythic rare burger?
That would help sooo much with my indecisiveness. But I also hate Burger King.
What’s that soup place I used to go to…. I swear every time you ordered you got whatever they felt like giving you.
I think it was called crispers? Good soup.
The 90ies called. They want their trend back.
Oh no, animals eat other animals.
Damn you just discovered nature.
