Yes Wendy's is a fresh burger. I like them. But... the McDonald's QuarterPounder is not frozen anymore. Don't know about the other McD's burgers. I can taste the difference. Juicier. Wendy's had the best options, imo. FROSTIES! Baked Potatoes, chili, good fried chicken sandwich but I do wish they would bring back the one with Dijon mustard & ham/Canadian bacon. It was like a cordon blu. (spelling) Burger King ruined the fries but I might forgive that if they bring back the fried cherry pies.
agreed tho its chicken is also better than either the burger chains or any of those you just listed also wendy's was never a pure burger restaurant, so it's not entirely apples to oranges. their frosty and chili were both sold the day the first location opened. they also released a spicy chicken sandwich in the mid 90s, before either popeyes, kfc, or chik-fil-a did. (it was intended to be a limited-time product, but became permanent due to very strong customer demand.)
It seems like almost every soft drink back then was advertising a "medical" use when it's pretty clear that they are all just flavored sugar water. There doesn't seem to be much consensus on how Dr Pepper got its name, but "pepsia" is a medical term for digestion (dyspepsia is indigestion), so it probably relates to the treatment of digestion in some way. This is also why Pepsi is called that, along with Pepsid AC, Pepto-Bismol, and a few other "pep" brands. It doesn't hurt that it also implies giving you energy, as in a pep in your step.
In Scotland they have a soda called Iron Brew which is almost like a cousin to Dr. Pepper. While they don't taste the same, they are both are made from a proprietary combination of several different syrups to create their signature taste.
They're nationwide but smaller in size and I think each one is locally owned. Their staff also are MUCH more helpful and present than in the Big Box stores.
The difference in hamburgers is the way they are cooked. Some are grill fryed on a flat top grill and some, like Burger King is charbroiled. McDonalds is fried in mass production and they don't have fresh veggies on their burgers.
Just chiming in on the pizza subject, my personal favorite is the Detroit style, he didn’t mention the Detroit style has the sauce on the top, thats the main difference between the other styles.
Pizza, its New York. Simple. If you want a lasagna with peperoni go to Chicago. If you want upscaled little Ceasar go to Detroit. No clue what ST Louis pizza is, but no one ever adds that as an option so that should tell you where it ranks.
The "Mighty" Mississippi river starts in northern Minnesota as a little stream so small you can stand with one foot on either side. As it travels first north then east then finally south, it is added to by other streams and rivers. When it gets to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St Paul) it is added to by the St Croix and Minnesota rivers. By the time it gets to Lake City Minnesota it is so wide and slow moving it is also known as Lake Peppin. For you water sport enthusiasts, Lake Peppin is the birth place of water skiing.
Nearly every small town has it's own local diner. You will encounter some of the worst, and some of the best food in these establishments...lol. I have so much fun exploring and stumbling across diners and comparing...I recommend give it a try, you might enjoy it. Great video, thank you for the reaction.
I like Denny’s Grand Slams and the food items that came ala fajita style. I forgot what Dennys called them. IHOP’s Double blueberry pancakes and didn’t they have some kind of pecan syrup? Also their omelete. It’s huge! I think they stuff a portion of it with hash browns. Gotta try it, at least once, providing it’s still on the menu.
He is right about alot of restaurants that are pretty much the same, I just have become accustomed to it and they are on pretty much on every corner. I like "Wendy's" too :)
Millie! 1) You will LOVE Chick-Fil-A and In 'N Out. 2) While you're here in So Cal, PLEASE try our Mexican food (especially the refried beans). If you are sticking to fast food Mexican (I don't advise it unless you're short on time or something), try Del Taco over Taco Bell or Chipotle. 3) Find a Denny's and try their chicken fried steak and eggs for breakfast. Many might disagree, but their chicken fried steak is the only one I'll eat. There are so many recommendations I could give you in the LA area as I've spent my life here. I know the ins and outs of many places in the area. My advice is to spend time in Long Beach and Orange County and if possible, San Diego. Please let me know if I can give tips or help out when you guys come to Long Beach/Orange County, CA. I can't offer lodging, but I''d have no problem helping with transportation or just general advice or recommendations. I'm a single guy and a professor at a local college. I've been to Britain and understand the stress of driving on the wrong side of the road! If you or James need a break from that stress (or just want to save a little money on gas), let me know. I'm so excited for your trip!
IHOP and Denny's are industrial breakfasts, national chain restaurants. Kind of like the fast-food version of a breakfast joint. It's OK, but nothing special. There are independent pancake houses in most towns that will knock your socks right off with a proper American breakfast.
also tbh it's almost apples and oranges. ihop's entire existence is centered around pancakes, while denny's is literally just a chain of traditional american diners with a moderate focus on breakfast
Both Walmart and Target. Tide advertises way more on tv than Gain. I like Gain but wish the Flings came in Mango Tango. You can get it in the huge plastic container.
I just don't get it why we can't be "spoiled for choice" like Asian countries it seems. Why do "they" have to do regional marketing when they just really cut off millions more customers from buying their product like Matcha Kit-Kats 😒

Deep Impact has a much more realistic storyline whereas Armageddon is more comical. I much prefer Deep Impact which tugs at your heartstrings much better and the love story is also much better.
To be fair with this, many people live in smaller towns where there may not be the variety you see here. Many places are more like an island (even though they are surrounded by land) and the choices are limited due to population so they only stock the things that sell most.
Good video reaction! Hey there Millie, my husband reminded me that even though the burger meat at Wendy's is fresh and not frozen, but when you come here to California and try In N' Out burgers you'll find that their burgers are also made fresh as well as their fries because both of them are not frozen. They won't taste like Wendy's burgers, but they WILL taste good. If I had to choose a brand of soda, Dr. Pepper and Pepsi as a last resort for me, as long as there is enough ice to water it down for me, otherwise I'll enjoy a Sprite (No Caffeine) or Coca-cola. (Has Caffeine) Target over Walmart, CVS or Walgreens or Rite Aid are here too depending on where you are at the time, you can go to any one of those to find what you may need, you have options. As long as the pizza dough is tossed and made with fresh ingredients, from a non-chain business you can enjoy any style pizza. Do try some Mexican food while you are here in Los Angeles, that does not mean Taco Bell or Del Taco, I wouldn't recommend those to you; whichever you choose to make sure you have the refried beans in your dish somewhere, if the refried beans taste good, then the rest of the menu should be as good. I enjoyed your video reaction! Peace. ☮
The Walmart greeters are there to make every customer know that they have been seen in the store and to make sure no one is running out with things they didn't pay for (without someone being able to identify them in some way).
Chick-fil-A....Detroit style....tie between Coke & MNT Dew cus Baja Blast....y'all....Deep Impact is not talked about enough cus its such a good movie & you definitely need to check it out cus everyone has seen Armageddon....Denny's for late night & IHOP for breakfast
Actually the pharmacy you get is exclusively decided by what health insurance you have. CVS and Walgreens are pretty much the same just slightly different branded stuff. However it really depends on which insurance you have. I’ve been a cvs customer for like ever though I have used Walgreens before, I’ve also used the very old ekcards before too which was taken by cvs. Insurance dictates what store you can use that’s all.
Their are also tons of Dutch Brothers coffee also. Their coffee is great. Their prices are good. And their customer relations is extremely important to them. If their busy, at the drive thru, they will have an employee walk down the lines of cars, and take orders, and they'll start making them, and when you get to the window it's waiting for you. Plus to work with the company, you need to be very polite, and always have a smile, to brighten their customers day. Really sweet people working for them. They don't act like they're doing you a favor when you order. But more like. They're honored to be able to serve you..
Yes, I loved Dutch Bros when I lived in north California (way up by Oregon on the coast) I would get the double dutch mocha & everyone who came by my desk said it smelled sooo good. Never was impressed with Starbucks coffee, the service nor the price. I drove across country to NJ where I am from about 7 yrs ago and I really miss Dutch Bros. Carl's Jr too. Fred Meyer's grocery section was a fav.
My favorite soft drink is Mexican Coca Cola. There’s no high fructose corn syrup in it and it tastes MUCH better. Denny’s has onion rings. That’s the only difference between that and IHOP.
There are several cities with two pro teams of the same sport. Or metro areas. Those are always a lot of fun, especially if both teams go to a championship
Walmart for the convenience of groceries and dept store. Never saw a Target with a full grocery section. Lowes over H. Depot. I liked Rite Aid but I think Walgreens bought them out. Yellow cap Coke. (real sugar like it used to be & tastes better), Good ole New Jersey diner over most fast food. Some pancake places here (not chains) have much better pancakes & breakfast fare. Fresher eggs. I do love me some fresh over easy eggs to dip my toast into. Costco detergent smells great & actually scores very high by Consumer Reports. No way Chick-fil-A. They are overrated anyway. Wendy's or Carl Jr's. (Hardee's towards the east) Here in Bergen County NJ, we have 5 guys, Habit Burger, Smash Burger which are all good & fresh. My favorite burgers and one that TV chef/personalities heard about & raved about is White Manna. (the one in Hackensack) What else were we voting for? Dutch Bros coffee which I can't get on the east coast. Bummer. Fresh roasted from a local place is good albeit expensive. I am adding tea just because. I was drinking Tetley. Still do but I heard about Yorkshire Tea (red) from a friend in Hull UK. I really love PG Tips loose tea best, me'thinks. 😉
My choice in birds is based on our having birdfeeders on the deck. Robins and blackbirds don't visit feeders, and the doves tend to bully other birds, so it's the cardinal for me. (Although it's unusual for the species, "our" cardinals are more than happy to visit the perch feeder, which makes me like them even more.)
@@JustMe-dc6ks I just switched from tide to Percil to Gain . I’m perfectly happy with the gain . A woman told me that it’s cheaper to use fabric softener rather than the fragrance beads . I bought 2 Downy balls , 1 time purchase , and I use half a recommended dose in the wash cycle I leave the ball open on one , and putt a full dose in and close the ball for regular fabric softener . I followed her directions and she’s right ! It works just as well and costs less . I also use white revive. That stuff is magic ! I have yet to find any stain or mildew even that I couldn’t soak out . Although one outfit my grandson had was left in a plastic bag . It took 3 days of soaking to get it out ! But it worked ! Amazing stuff
Of the major chain burger joints I like Wendy's better than the other 2 burger joints. I like chick-fil-a very much but I tend to not go there for chicken. I like thin crust but California style thin, but I grew up in Michigan and Detroit is my 2nd favorite with the cheesy crust. Walmart over target I buy whatever soap is on sale. Qdoba is better IMO. Coke, I used to mix root-beer and strawberry soda when I was a kid. Y'all and you all. Peet's over Starbucks. Starbucks over-roasts their beans IMO. There's a local roaster called Pannikin that is my favorite of all time. I haven't in a while, but I used to make a special trip downtown on a Thursday just to buy a couple of pounds of whole beans and they were still warm from roasting. IHOP over Denny's, but I'm him, local diners are the best. Colorado River
3:31 Chick-fil-A doesn't belong in this part. It goes with Popeye's and KFC 🍗 7:00 Not all Walmart's were created equally, in the US. Only Super centers are huge. (I've been to Walmarts in Asia where all were super center sized.)
Denny’s is my choice . It’s close, but I’ll take Denny’s. Although their bacon, at least the one by me, is like C- grade. But every thing else is quite good.
What a nice surprise just seeing you having a go! I love it! I live outside Philadelphia and truly can't stand the word "youse." It splits the community here and not in a good way.
It’s actually Starbucks vs Goffery’s in Florida. Goffery’s is Disney’s signature brand of coffee. Honestly I really don’t care either way because I am sensitive to caffeine so I stay away from it at all costs. I usually just look at the numbers and Starbucks does really well in Florida although Goffery’s does pretty well. You also get a place like foxtail coffee which is a small chain but is good at least what I hear. Don’t forget you have smaller mom and pop places too.
I found a video called Molten Copper Vs Big Mac I'd suggest you watch it before you get anymore McDonalds. It's on You Tube. For the Pop , or Soda which ever you say it , I like the diet Dr. Pepper as well as diet Mountain Dew. When going out to eat , if they have both , I'll get a half & half of the two. I call it a Dr. Dew. When I was a baby back Illinois The Mississippi "came into"(flooded) our front yard. So my grandfather at the time got his boat out & we fished in the front yard. Even have a picture of it.
Lowe’s is better for newbie do it yourselfers but also they do have better options to choose from. Home Depot is more professional and carry more niche products that you don’t find anywhere else although I do find their service lacking.
Their service is also Rude! I will drive past them a few miles thru the damn villages here in Fl..I hate the villages btw.. to get to Lowes..I hate home depot that much even though I have a cc with them..I ordered a fridge online from them..I can't stand going in their store..absolutely rude and they don't care how long you must wait either to check out. (There are some nice ppl there but over all experience I hate that store so much) I used hate a lot here.. must understand the villages destroyed everything here it's like living in Orlando it was a 1 light town. I like Winn Dixie and Aldi and even Publix.. hate McDonald's but like checkers or Wendy's..... I'm just expressive about the hating a few places😂
McDonalds is like Walmart...just kinda there and familiar. A comfort food of sorts. Although I think you can't beat their fries. I personally have never had hot, or even warm, fries from Chic-Fil-A, but their sandwiches are tasty. Some times its nice they don't put any condiments on so I can add however much mustard, ketchup and whatever else I desire at my leisure. Other times I find it the deciding factor not to go because I don't want to continue making my fast food when I get home! It's supposed to be fast for a reason dammit! Lawrence is 100% spot on about the Wendy's Baconator though. Afterwards I feel like I can feel my cholesterol going up and my blood pressure going up. But holy moly is a worthwhile guilty pleasure! My Granny ruined Burger King for me because she would freeze Whoppers and then reheat them for dinner when she babysat my brother and I. She was a child of the Great Depression so she understandably hated wasting food. But refrigerating them would have been a WHOLE lot better. Or hell, just have left them on the counter for a day or two would be fine.
Love the video love Lawrence. Watch this channel all the time. This one is a little bit more leaning towards the not serious or influential, but I do like those options. In any case, I only absolutely disagree with one of them and mildly so and a couple others. I'm surprised he'd made the choices. I hope and Denny's because they are thousands of miles apart. IHOP has a fraction of the choices and that's fair because they are mostly a pancake house with other items. But Denny's, especially in the past few years has really raised the bar. Their menu is extensive. The food is really become very good and very fresh. Asupposed to 15 years or so ago. Not even in the same category, Dennys takes the prize for that 1.
Your next trip, try FIVE GUYS for a truly fresh never frozen burger. And, the BEST French Fries (hot chips in British English) you'll ever have in a fast food restaurant.
Meh, the burgers are not worth the price - may as well go to a midlevel sitdown restaurant. But I'll agree the fries/chips are amazing (though they too would be too expensive if they did not give so many of them).
In n Out in only good because of the price the food itself is the actual worst and the fries taste like cardboard. Animal style fries is like putting a dress on pig and calling it cute or beautiful, no it isn't and the fries still suck.
The 'British' so-called man featured here has not lived in the UK - nor visited I gather - for such a long time that he seems to have no idea as to how much the UK has now changed. 😂😅
There are more Starlings in the world than any other species of birds. Why? A well-to-do couple moved from England to America and it just did not feel like home because there were no Starlings. They had some shipped in. Yes there are animals that will kill and eat Starlings here, they do not have a natural preditor here.
The problem with the fast food question, and I am an expert in eating bad food, is it can vary location to location. People joke about using the toilet after Taco Bell and I've lived near one that always made me sick and 5 minutes away was another that was really clean and well run. McDonalds is a little more consistent since their food never decays anyway. Wendy's can be great, but the 2 near me now are just kind of crappy. I have never had a bad Chick-Fil-A I think they have a bigger grip on their locations. With BK it is kind of like Taco Bell but in decline. There are still good Burger Kings, I like a Whopper over a Big Mac, but a lot of them are just dirty and poorly run. I would say BK if we were choosing between a perfected version of each of these, but in reality Chick Fil A is your best bet. It hovers between a 7 and a 9 while MCD is like a 5-7 Wendy's is like a 5-9 and BK is like a 3-8 on a scale of 10 of course.
I, personally, find Chick-fil-A to be highly overrated. Wendy's would be my choice in that list. I agree. Local diner over the chains, but if I'm picking a chain, I usually go to Dennys. Of course if you're in the region for them, waffle house should be in the running. As far as "you all", none of the above. I say "you guys".
Chic-fil-a stopped selling the breakfast bagel.. that's only thing I really bought there..I bought a chicken sandwich and at least the location I was at.. they only give you half the chicken on it..I was totally done at that point.. for that price and you're cutting the chicken in half now.. not worth it and it doesn't taste good enough to pay that price for so little. There bagel was so so good though
If your videos in our country are at chain restaurants I will be soooo disappointed ! You need to ask the locals about good places to eat and do your video on really good food !! Have fun !!
Burger King’s quality has gone downhill since the 90s. It used to appeal to kids back then, but once it did away with its Kids Klub it began losing appeal.
New York pizza rules if you want something deep dish get Sicilian pizza! Tide hands down. Chipotle is a great sitdown restaurant, but Baja Fresh and Moe's are better than Taco Bell. Y'all yous are my go tos. I liked those movies then but I'm indifferent. I like both Denny's & IHOP but I'm with Lawrence give me a good Old fashioned dinner!
Definitely watch both of those movies. I like them both. If you guys are going to be near Waco, Texas or Dublin, Texas you can tour the Dr. Pepper factory and museum. If you can find it, Millie should try a Dublin Dr. Pepper. It is great. I wish Laurence would have added Waffle House in with his Denny's and IHOP section, because I prefer Waffle House out of those three. Great reaction and commentary, Millie. I'm sure you and James are counting the days until your trip.
Walmart VS Target. Target is where people who turn up their nose at Walmart go to buy the same things for 10-20% more. It lets them feel good about themselves because Target pays thei... oh wait they both start at the same wage in most stores? Hmm.. ok because you are less likely to have to deal with those dirty lower class people right?... Honestly Walmart is fine, Target is fine, go to whichever one is closer. Target just gets a lot of the "not in my back yard" people who are all for this and that as long as they someone else deals with it.
Robert Duvall lead the souped up shuttle (?) with all the remaining astronauts to sacrifice themselves to take out the biggest portion of the asteroid. Yes the smaller part did take out some areas. I like both movies for different reasons.
Millie, the reason Wendy's tastes fresher is NOTHING is frozen. They have no freezers so they get their stuff fresh daily
Go hawks
Yes Wendy's is a fresh burger. I like them. But... the McDonald's QuarterPounder is not frozen anymore. Don't know about the other McD's burgers. I can taste the difference. Juicier.

Burger King ruined the fries but I might forgive that if they bring back the fried cherry pies.
McDonald’s for fries; Burger King for burgers; Wendy’s for ice cream (chocolate Frosty); Bojangles for chicken sandwich (sorry, Chik-Fil-A).
okay i gotta hard disagree with the first two. imo mcdonald's has the worst fries and bk the worst burgers. do agree with the other two tho
Chick-fil-A doesn't belong in a category with burger chains. It's belong with chicken restaurants like Popeyes, KFC, etc.
agreed tho its chicken is also better than either the burger chains or any of those you just listed
also wendy's was never a pure burger restaurant, so it's not entirely apples to oranges. their frosty and chili were both sold the day the first location opened. they also released a spicy chicken sandwich in the mid 90s, before either popeyes, kfc, or chik-fil-a did.

Dr Pepper was invited by a pharmacist. It was for a cough syrup.

In Florida you also have local chain Ace Hardware which is more kinda smaller but sometimes if you need something quick you know. They do the job.
They're nationwide but smaller in size and I think each one is locally owned. Their staff also are MUCH more helpful and present than in the Big Box stores.
They are everywhere, we have several here.
We had Ace in N. California & Oregon. And TruValu which I liked better. Cheaper too. But bigger usually wins out.
The creator of Dr Pepper was a pharmacist out of Waco, Texas.

I think franchise food place choices for me depend on who's preparing the food or location. It's hit or miss per working shift.

The Missouri is muddier than the Mississippi. The saying is that it’s too thin to plow and too thick to drink.
Mark Twain said something like, "I took a paddlewheel streamer up the Missouri and it walked the whole way."
That may be how the Missouri is where you're from but it is quite wide and swift where I lived in Bellevue, NE.

Wendy's is pretty much cook to order.
And not frozen beef. Sadly I had to start boycotting them because of the 'surge pricing'

My favorite beef burger is the monster burger from Hardee's, but my favorite chicken burger is the crispy chicken sandwich from Burger King.
Tide and Gain are both made by Procter and Gambles.
Wendy's has freash cooked burgers and the best french fries (chips) of any fast food.
As per Walgreens vs CVS... I prefer Walgreens because they carry my cigarettes
Walgreens in my town ( Milwaukee) doesn't sell tobacco products anymore
Both Walmart and Target. Tide advertises way more on tv than Gain. I like Gain but wish the Flings came in Mango Tango. You can get it in the huge plastic container.
"boots" is walgeens. Shocker to me too
I prefer IHOP over Denny's. Dr Pepper, Wal-Mart, Wendy's, The Mississippi, Y'all, and we use Gain because it is cheaper.
Cracker Barrel beats both of them 😛
I don't like to go to cracker Barrel because I want to spend all my money in the store part. 😂
My favorite was Qdoba, but the only one near me closed. It's now a Chipotle.
Really, it's an illusion of choice, 500 very similar things with different packaging sold by the same three companies.
I just don't get it why we can't be "spoiled for choice" like Asian countries it seems. Why do "they" have to do regional marketing when they just really cut off millions more customers from buying their product like Matcha Kit-Kats 😒

Deep Impact has a much more realistic storyline whereas Armageddon is more comical. I much prefer Deep Impact which tugs at your heartstrings much better and the love story is also much better.
Love when Millie does the!
You guys should react to Independence Day for July 4th this year lol
I prefer Qdoba. It's slightly cheaper and tastes better to me. They don't charge for things Chipotle does.
Actually Chicago has two types of pizza. They have the Deep dish. And they also what's called a Tavern style. That's a thin crust
Definitely would like to see you watch both movies
To be fair with this, many people live in smaller towns where there may not be the variety you see here. Many places are more like an island (even though they are surrounded by land) and the choices are limited due to population so they only stock the things that sell most.

(Has Caffeine) Target over Walmart, CVS or Walgreens or Rite Aid are here too depending on where you are at the time, you can go to any one of those to find what you may need, you have options. As long as the pizza dough is tossed and made with fresh ingredients, from a non-chain business you can enjoy any style pizza. Do try some Mexican food while you are here in Los Angeles, that does not mean Taco Bell or Del Taco, I wouldn't recommend those to you; whichever you choose to make sure you have the refried beans in your dish somewhere, if the refried beans taste good, then the rest of the menu should be as good. I enjoyed your video reaction! Peace. ☮
The Walmart greeters are there to make every customer know that they have been seen in the store and to make sure no one is running out with things they didn't pay for (without someone being able to identify them in some way).
Chick-fil-A....Detroit style....tie between Coke & MNT Dew cus Baja Blast....y'all....Deep Impact is not talked about enough cus its such a good movie & you definitely need to check it out cus everyone has seen Armageddon....Denny's for late night & IHOP for breakfast
So say we all.
I just do truck stop coffee
I love disaster movies and Armageddon is very good! Deep Impact is really depressing.
MIllie, I think you 2 should review Armageddon! Great cast!
Actually the pharmacy you get is exclusively decided by what health insurance you have. CVS and Walgreens are pretty much the same just slightly different branded stuff. However it really depends on which insurance you have. I’ve been a cvs customer for like ever though I have used Walgreens before, I’ve also used the very old ekcards before too which was taken by cvs. Insurance dictates what store you can use that’s all.
Their are also tons of Dutch Brothers coffee also. Their coffee is great. Their prices are good. And their customer relations is extremely important to them. If their busy, at the drive thru, they will have an employee walk down the lines of cars, and take orders, and they'll start making them, and when you get to the window it's waiting for you. Plus to work with the company, you need to be very polite, and always have a smile, to brighten their customers day. Really sweet people working for them. They don't act like they're doing you a favor when you order.
But more like.
They're honored to be able to serve you..
Yes, I loved Dutch Bros when I lived in north California (way up by Oregon on the coast) I would get the double dutch mocha & everyone who came by my desk said it smelled sooo good. Never was impressed with Starbucks coffee, the service nor the price.
I drove across country to NJ where I am from about 7 yrs ago and I really miss Dutch Bros. Carl's Jr too. Fred Meyer's grocery section was a fav.
@@lindae2524 Absolutely
Gain smells better longer and cleans same as tide but I'm allergic to gain so must just tide
There is a story about Dr Pepper . The inventor I believe created it to marry Dr peppers daughter ? Something similar
My favorite soft drink is Mexican Coca Cola. There’s no high fructose corn syrup in it and it tastes MUCH better. Denny’s has onion rings. That’s the only difference between that and IHOP.
Yes, the yellow cap coke. Sugar like it used to be. Tastes better.
I love Your Commentary!!! 😂
We have eagles here . They have a large nest up in the fir tree, about 100 ft up. We also have redwoods and hawks.
I don't see how anyone can hate cardinals. They're among the most beautiful birds here in the Northeast.
Its a baseball team!
My state bird is the cardinal
I was shocked when I moved from the east coast to the west coast. No Cardinal's. My favorite bird.
@@lindae2524oh no!
There are several cities with two pro teams of the same sport. Or metro areas.
Those are always a lot of fun, especially if both teams go to a championship
Wendy's is my favorite.
Walmart for the convenience of groceries and dept store. Never saw a Target with a full grocery section. Lowes over H. Depot. I liked Rite Aid but I think Walgreens bought them out. Yellow cap Coke. (real sugar like it used to be & tastes better), Good ole New Jersey diner over most fast food. Some pancake places here (not chains) have much better pancakes & breakfast fare. Fresher eggs. I do love me some fresh over easy eggs to dip my toast into. Costco detergent smells great & actually scores very high by Consumer Reports. No way Chick-fil-A. They are overrated anyway. Wendy's or Carl Jr's. (Hardee's towards the east) Here in Bergen County NJ, we have 5 guys, Habit Burger, Smash Burger which are all good & fresh. My favorite burgers and one that TV chef/personalities heard about & raved about is White Manna. (the one in Hackensack) What else were we voting for? Dutch Bros coffee which I can't get on the east coast. Bummer. Fresh roasted from a local place is good albeit expensive. I am adding tea just because. I was drinking Tetley. Still do but I heard about Yorkshire Tea (red) from a friend in Hull UK. I really love PG Tips loose tea best, me'thinks. 😉
My choice in birds is based on our having birdfeeders on the deck. Robins and blackbirds don't visit feeders, and the doves tend to bully other birds, so it's the cardinal for me. (Although it's unusual for the species, "our" cardinals are more than happy to visit the perch feeder, which makes me like them even more.)
Gain is known for smelling good but Tide smells good too
They even make other things like dryer sheets “Gain scented” now.
@@JustMe-dc6ks I just switched from tide to Percil to Gain . I’m perfectly happy with the gain .
A woman told me that it’s cheaper to use fabric softener rather than the fragrance beads . I bought 2 Downy balls , 1 time purchase , and I use half a recommended dose in the wash cycle I leave the ball open on one , and putt a full dose in and close the ball for regular fabric softener . I followed her directions and she’s right ! It works just as well and costs less .
I also use white revive. That stuff is magic ! I have yet to find any stain or mildew even that I couldn’t soak out . Although one outfit my grandson had was left in a plastic bag . It took 3 days of soaking to get it out ! But it worked ! Amazing stuff
Of the major chain burger joints I like Wendy's better than the other 2 burger joints. I like chick-fil-a very much but I tend to not go there for chicken.
I like thin crust but California style thin, but I grew up in Michigan and Detroit is my 2nd favorite with the cheesy crust.
Walmart over target
I buy whatever soap is on sale.
Qdoba is better IMO.
Coke, I used to mix root-beer and strawberry soda when I was a kid.
Y'all and you all.
Peet's over Starbucks. Starbucks over-roasts their beans IMO. There's a local roaster called Pannikin that is my favorite of all time. I haven't in a while, but I used to make a special trip downtown on a Thursday just to buy a couple of pounds of whole beans and they were still warm from roasting.
IHOP over Denny's, but I'm him, local diners are the best.
Colorado River
He does sound like triple H
I've never heard of St. Louis pizza. Also, as Lawrence should know, the more popular pizza in Chicago is not deep dish but thin crust.
3:31 Chick-fil-A doesn't belong in this part.
It goes with Popeye's and KFC 🍗
7:00 Not all Walmart's were created equally, in the US. Only Super centers are huge.
(I've been to Walmarts in Asia where all were super center sized.)
Denny’s is my choice . It’s close, but I’ll take Denny’s. Although their bacon, at least the one by me, is like C- grade. But every thing else is quite good.
I like Petes, but Starbucks is ok. Denny's is a different type of restaurant than IHOP, IHOP is a pancake house, Denny's is a coffee shop.
What a nice surprise just seeing you having a go! I love it! I live outside Philadelphia and truly can't stand the word "youse." It splits the community here and not in a good way.
I'm politely agreeing with everything Laurance said.
It’s actually Starbucks vs Goffery’s in Florida. Goffery’s is Disney’s signature brand of coffee. Honestly I really don’t care either way because I am sensitive to caffeine so I stay away from it at all costs. I usually just look at the numbers and Starbucks does really well in Florida although Goffery’s does pretty well. You also get a place like foxtail coffee which is a small chain but is good at least what I hear. Don’t forget you have smaller mom and pop places too.
It's not "Men....ards", it's pronounced, "MaNards"
More like muh-Nardz but you're correct
it's his accent...really?
As far as burger joints go, I like A&W
I found a video called Molten Copper Vs Big Mac I'd suggest you watch it before you get anymore McDonalds. It's on You Tube. For the Pop , or Soda which ever you say it , I like the diet Dr. Pepper as well as diet Mountain Dew. When going out to eat , if they have both , I'll get a half & half of the two. I call it a Dr. Dew. When I was a baby back Illinois The Mississippi "came into"(flooded) our front yard. So my grandfather at the time got his boat out & we fished in the front yard. Even have a picture of it.
Lowe’s is better for newbie do it yourselfers but also they do have better options to choose from. Home Depot is more professional and carry more niche products that you don’t find anywhere else although I do find their service lacking.
Their service is also Rude!
I will drive past them a few miles thru the damn villages here in Fl..I hate the villages btw.. to get to Lowes..I hate home depot that much even though I have a cc with them..I ordered a fridge online from them..I can't stand going in their store..absolutely rude and they don't care how long you must wait either to check out.
(There are some nice ppl there but over all experience I hate that store so much)
I used hate a lot here.. must understand the villages destroyed everything here it's like living in Orlando it was a 1 light town.
I like Winn Dixie and Aldi and even Publix.. hate McDonald's but like checkers or Wendy's..... I'm just expressive about the hating a few places😂
Mt. Dew is the most caffeinaded drink besides energy drink but its really sweet. So be careful.
McDonalds is like Walmart...just kinda there and familiar. A comfort food of sorts. Although I think you can't beat their fries. I personally have never had hot, or even warm, fries from Chic-Fil-A, but their sandwiches are tasty. Some times its nice they don't put any condiments on so I can add however much mustard, ketchup and whatever else I desire at my leisure. Other times I find it the deciding factor not to go because I don't want to continue making my fast food when I get home! It's supposed to be fast for a reason dammit!
Lawrence is 100% spot on about the Wendy's Baconator though. Afterwards I feel like I can feel my cholesterol going up and my blood pressure going up. But holy moly is a worthwhile guilty pleasure!
My Granny ruined Burger King for me because she would freeze Whoppers and then reheat them for dinner when she babysat my brother and I. She was a child of the Great Depression so she understandably hated wasting food. But refrigerating them would have been a WHOLE lot better. Or hell, just have left them on the counter for a day or two would be fine.
enjoy your solo vids....sorry to say i can hardly understand hubbies accent....with you no problem....Bravo
Love the video love Lawrence. Watch this channel all the time. This one is a little bit more leaning towards the not serious or influential, but I do like those options. In any case, I only absolutely disagree with one of them and mildly so and a couple others. I'm surprised he'd made the choices. I hope and Denny's because they are thousands of miles apart. IHOP has a fraction of the choices and that's fair because they are mostly a pancake house with other items. But Denny's, especially in the past few years has really raised the bar. Their menu is extensive. The food is really become very good and very fresh. Asupposed to 15 years or so ago. Not even in the same category, Dennys takes the prize for that 1.
You CANNOT compare Mt.Dew with dark sodas.
MT.Dew/ Sprite / 7- up are all light colored.
MT Dew - Mello Yellow
Walgreens and Boots are the same company.
I much prefer your videos you do alone. Not so many pauses.
Your next trip, try FIVE GUYS for a truly fresh never frozen burger. And, the BEST French Fries (hot chips in British English) you'll ever have in a fast food restaurant.
Meh, the burgers are not worth the price - may as well go to a midlevel sitdown restaurant. But I'll agree the fries/chips are amazing (though they too would be too expensive if they did not give so many of them).
@@thomasmacdiarmid8251
I, just today, had a bacon cheeseburger at IHOP. $15.00, dry, overcooked, and the fries were ok. Nothing is cheap anymore.
In N Out is better and cheaper. The fries are good only if they are hot though.
In n Out in only good because of the price the food itself is the actual worst and the fries taste like cardboard. Animal style fries is like putting a dress on pig and calling it cute or beautiful, no it isn't and the fries still suck.
I love Chick Filet, although their chicken nuggets are too salty. Wendy’s has by far the best chicken nuggets.
The 'British' so-called man featured here has not lived in the UK - nor visited I gather - for such a long time that he seems to have no idea as to how much the UK has now changed. 😂😅
This is an older video of his.
He obviously hasn’t tried
Dutch Bros Coffee. Better tasting coffee without the political bs that come from star butts. Pete’s is ok for me.
I love most pizza's. Pizza is like sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.
There are more Starlings in the world than any other species of birds. Why? A well-to-do couple moved from England to America and it just did not feel like home because there were no Starlings. They had some shipped in. Yes there are animals that will kill and eat Starlings here, they do not have a natural preditor here.
The problem with the fast food question, and I am an expert in eating bad food, is it can vary location to location. People joke about using the toilet after Taco Bell and I've lived near one that always made me sick and 5 minutes away was another that was really clean and well run. McDonalds is a little more consistent since their food never decays anyway. Wendy's can be great, but the 2 near me now are just kind of crappy. I have never had a bad Chick-Fil-A I think they have a bigger grip on their locations. With BK it is kind of like Taco Bell but in decline. There are still good Burger Kings, I like a Whopper over a Big Mac, but a lot of them are just dirty and poorly run. I would say BK if we were choosing between a perfected version of each of these, but in reality Chick Fil A is your best bet. It hovers between a 7 and a 9 while MCD is like a 5-7 Wendy's is like a 5-9 and BK is like a 3-8 on a scale of 10 of course.
I, personally, find Chick-fil-A to be highly overrated. Wendy's would be my choice in that list.
I agree. Local diner over the chains, but if I'm picking a chain, I usually go to Dennys. Of course if you're in the region for them, waffle house should be in the running.
As far as "you all", none of the above. I say "you guys".
Chic-fil-a stopped selling the breakfast bagel.. that's only thing I really bought there..I bought a chicken sandwich and at least the location I was at.. they only give you half the chicken on it..I was totally done at that point.. for that price and you're cutting the chicken in half now.. not worth it and it doesn't taste good enough to pay that price for so little.
There bagel was so so good though
California Pizza's are the best.
If your videos in our country are at chain restaurants I will be soooo disappointed ! You need to ask the locals about good places to eat and do your video on really good food !! Have fun !!
Tide is the same thing as Daz.
Burger King’s quality has gone downhill since the 90s. It used to appeal to kids back then, but once it did away with its Kids Klub it began losing appeal.
Village inn
That was great 👍
New York pizza rules if you want something deep dish get Sicilian pizza!
Tide hands down.
Chipotle is a great sitdown restaurant, but Baja Fresh and Moe's are better than Taco Bell.
Y'all yous are my go tos.
I liked those movies then but I'm indifferent.
I like both Denny's & IHOP but I'm with Lawrence give me a good Old fashioned dinner!
On the quick TexMex giant burrito places, Willie's is the best, and Moe's a decent second. Chipotle has too limited ingredient selection.
Watch Deep Impact and 2012.
Denny's is just a Waffle House for people that can't fight.
Definitely watch both of those movies. I like them both. If you guys are going to be near Waco, Texas or Dublin, Texas you can tour the Dr. Pepper factory and museum. If you can find it, Millie should try a Dublin Dr. Pepper. It is great. I wish Laurence would have added Waffle House in with his Denny's and IHOP section, because I prefer Waffle House out of those three. Great reaction and commentary, Millie. I'm sure you and James are counting the days until your trip.
What the hell's a Qdoba?
Walmart VS Target. Target is where people who turn up their nose at Walmart go to buy the same things for 10-20% more. It lets them feel good about themselves because Target pays thei... oh wait they both start at the same wage in most stores? Hmm.. ok because you are less likely to have to deal with those dirty lower class people right?... Honestly Walmart is fine, Target is fine, go to whichever one is closer. Target just gets a lot of the "not in my back yard" people who are all for this and that as long as they someone else deals with it.
Correction: in Deep Impact NO ONE saved the day 🤣
Robert Duvall lead the souped up shuttle (?) with all the remaining astronauts to sacrifice themselves to take out the biggest portion of the asteroid. Yes the smaller part did take out some areas. I like both movies for different reasons.
@@lindae2524 lol I haven't actually watched it since the theater, I guess I should re-watch
