Burger King or McDonald's?

I've been thinking. Uh-oh, I hear you say. Which is better, Burger King or McDonald's? Here are a few points in favour of each:

Burger King

• 20% off with NUS
• Regularly have two for one offers on burgers
• Angus burgers are far higher quality than McDonald's
• The flame-grilled flavour really comes through

McDonald's

• Free cheeseburger with meal or free fries with burger with NUS
• Cheaper than Burger King
• Fries are a hell of a lot better than Burger King
• Special sauce on the Big Mac can't be beat
• Generally open longer hours
• Always faster service

To sum things up, I think that the Burger King burgers are far superior, but McDonald's win with their special sauce and better fries. I believe that McDonald's are generally far nicer environments in which to eat, they tend to be more spacious, much lighter, less run-down. When the vouchers are running I believe that Burger King may be the better value of the two. Without the vouchers I don't think I would venture into Burger King.

Damn you, Hamilton

I awoke today of great news. Mountain Dew has become a sort of fetish for me, and I practically had a nerdgasm when I heard that it would be coming to the UK. Today the nice bloke from Sainsbury's gave dropped me a bell saying that they had the wondrous beverage in. I set about trekking over there. It was a whole two hour trip all told, what with waiting for the Hamilton bus to come round and everything, but I have no regrets. Actually I wish a little bit that I had bought more than 8 bottles of the stuff!

As you can see, it comes in a lurid fluorescent light sabre of a bottle. A bottle contains two thirds of your recommended daily sugar allowance. I am a happy man today. :)

A quest for Mountain Dew

Today my quest for the delicious Dew started remarkably well. I awoke to an email from Sainsbury's which stated that the Sainsbury's Local in Hamilton should have some in stock. Upon phoning said store I was informed by the manager that they *don't* have any in, and have no plans to. He kindly pledged to phone me back if they do though, which is nice of him. I now await news of Dew eagerly, ready to make the 41 minute journey via public transport to said location if the need arises. I've also emailed Sainsbury's again about said confusion on their part. News awaits...
