    No.  Lipstick on a pig.

    Pretty tempting but they would probably raise the price a little bit.

    I eat at fast food, and I'd still like their food to look more like the ad.

    My biggest gripe is when I order a specific drink ... they tell me the total ... I pay at the 1st window ... then they tell me the "machine is defrosting" and the drink is not available, at the 2nd window.  When they offer a different drink - how is that not "bait and switch"?

    I eat at a fast food place only a couple times a year.  I won’t eat there more because they’re too far away (closest is a McDonald’s that’s 25 miles away), and the food at home is either from my own garden or a local farm, so it’s much better than anything a fast food place has to offer.

    No, because the food is not terribly healthy.  I do treat myself to a plain burger at Burger King on my way down to, and a Popeye's chicken tenders on the way home from, PA after visiting my sister.  That's about it.

      No, not for that particular reason, because it usually tastes lousy no matter how it looks. That’s the viewpoint of a man who is married to an excellent cook.

      They’re ok.  Why do you think I keep a basement full of “surrogates”? (Cough, cough.)

      Er, um, I’ve already stated that that’s part of the reason for the surrogate sandwich-makers in the basement!

    We eat fast food.  I do not want it to look like the picture.  I generally do not like everything that is offered on most orders.  I normally have special orders.....no onion, pickles, lettuce etc.

    Special orders? They only get that right about 25% of the time.

    Always check before you leave and make the fix it if they do it wrong.  My regulars are pretty well trained. :)

    Nope.  Kittens in the oven don't make 'em biscuits.

    I couldn't care less what it looks like, I care about taste and how well it "fills the hole". McDonald's is plastic, Subway and Guzman y Gomez are edible.
