    With access to the internet, I have a wealth of human knowledge to explore right at my fingertips. Instead I choose to use it to watch a man eat and rate sub-par, knock off fast food burgers. I do not regret my decision.

    Weirdly enough, we have all sorts of these microwavable breakfast sandwiches made by a company called Jimmy Dean and they came up with a great way to do it. Literally all of them instruct you to wrap the entire sandwich in a paper towel, while still frozen, and microwave for varying amounts of time, depending on the type of sandwich.
    I swear to you, it works. The paper towel absorbs excess moisture and keeps the muffin/biscuit/croissant from getting soggy, but traps just enough moisture in to prevent it from becoming too dry. They're quite a delicious treat. I think it also helps that Jimmy Dean very clearly uses quality ingredients and thus the taste is quite good already.

    I love how every frozen microwavable food company uses a microwave that works like no other microwave on the planet to determine cooking times. Over twenty years of eating terrible microwave food and a dozen microwaves, NONE of them have ever heated ANYTHING properly. They alternate between "the cheese is smoking while the center is frozen", to "the bun is literally on fire and the meat is lukewarm", and the really joyful "the whole thing is still frozen even after doubling the cooking time." Notably, the one that left the items frozen was the one that was so powerful that it would superheat a mug full water in 15 seconds to the point where it could melt flesh. Did they leave out a step in the cooking instructions that says "You must turn off the laws of thermodynamics in your local reality to cook this properly"?

      Just replied to a guy who said about the same thing, gonna spread the love:
      "You can freeze burger patties you make yourself. Cook however many you want to stock up, let them cool, stack them together with wax paper inbetween (so they can be easily removed individually) and put them in a ziplock. Then just stick in the freezer.
      Whenever you want one just microwave a patty, get a bun, slap some condiments on that bad boy, and bam. Significantly less likely to give you some form of radioactive meningitis than Poundland Mystery Meat. Unless you like the flavor of radioactive meningitis and add it yourself of course."

    When I was in my teens, BK had a whole range of "doubles", all priced the same, which included the double bacon and cheese, the double rodeo, consisting of BBQ sauce and onion rings, the standard double cheeseburger, which despite its simplicity is one of my favourites, the Big King, which was just a blatant rip off of the Big Mac, and some Italian inspired thing, I can't remember the name, but it was my other favourite which had mozzarella and a rich Italian tomato and basil sauce .
    Now, the bacon double cheeseburger is ridiculously overpriced, the rodeo was quite recently discontinued, the Italian one was discontinued years ago, the Big King changed to include the stupid middle bun that a Big Mac has, making it an even more obvious rip off, before being discontinued, and I think the double cheeseburger still exists at a reasonable price, but since the lockdowns, they've stopped sellling the standard hamburger and standard cheeseburger. They only sell the "kids versions" which have no onions and pickles.
