I've never taken the MyBK survey. However, it's an enigma to me how Burger King is still open. While the price of all fast food has increased at an alarming rate, Burger King seems to be the worst offender. The price to quality ratio is atrocious.

At my local Burger King for example, a Whopper with cheese meal is $13.89, before tax. The equivalent meal at competitors is far less. McDonald's has the Quarter Pounder with cheese meal for $10.59. At Wendy's, a Dave's Single with cheese combo for $11.19. Hell, just the Whopper with Cheese sandwich is $7.59. Building the equivalent sandwich (bun, single patty, cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, onion) at Five Guys, generally regarded as the "Gold Standard" of fast food burgers, and generally lamented for their higher prices, is $7.69. A paltry $0.10 more! Burger King is just not worth the price.

While I admit Burger King's burgers are somewhat decent in the fast food space (I guess young'uns would say they're "mid"), they're better than McDonald's but not as good as Wendy's, I won't even get into how garbage the rest of their food is. They have the worst fries, their chicken nuggets taste like they're made of sawdust, and their dipping sauces are ass. Not to mention every Burger King around me looks like it was last renovated in 1987.

My theory is Burger King is just a money laundering front at this point. I see no other plausible explanation for how they are still in business.

Oh boy, the MyBK survey—because nothing screams “revolutionary feedback system” like a glorified digital comment card sandwiched between you and an attempt to win a free Whopper. Let’s unpack this majestic beast in excruciating detail because I, too, enjoy pondering the deep existential meaning of fast-food surveys like I’m some kind of culinary philosopher.

First off, "Have you participated recently?" Oh yes, I've participated. I've been summoned by the BK gods to express my deep, intellectual thoughts on whether my fries were crispy enough or if the burger was assembled in a way that whispered "quality" to my soul. You see, the MyBK survey isn't just a survey—it's an invitation to critique the artistry of someone slapping a patty between two buns. We’re talking Michelin star level of reviewing here.

"Did the survey prompt you to think more about your eating habits or the quality of food at Burger King?" Absolutely. As I sat there, filling out question 7—"Rate your satisfaction with the cleanliness of the restaurant"—I found myself staring into the void. Was my Whopper a metaphor for my life? Layers upon layers of processed choices, all squished together in a paper wrapper of regret. Did the sodium content of that crispy chicken sandwich change the trajectory of my day? You bet it did, and the survey was right there to prompt this deep reflection.

Let's move on to the absolute gem: "How do you believe customer feedback through these surveys influences the menu options available at BK?" Oh, I’m sure my response—something between “slightly disappointed” and “tragically accepting”—is being sent straight to the top execs who gather in a dimly lit conference room to weep over their inability to capture the true essence of my fast-food journey. The CEO himself must pour over my thoughts, asking, “Why didn’t they like the Impossible Whopper as much as we hoped?” And then he makes a solemn vow: “We must do better. More pickles, less sadness.”

But hey, who am I to question the power of MyBK’s algorithm? I'm sure every survey response is like the butterfly effect—one person saying they want extra spicy chicken nuggets is the reason a whole limited-time menu item drops two months later. Every time I type “meh” in the feedback box, somewhere in corporate HQ a chef loses his hat.

Tips for completing the survey? Oh, please. It’s like walking through an existential desert with no water in sight. But here’s a pro-tip from a seasoned MyBK veteran: don’t try too hard. Remember, this isn’t some kind of culinary exposé—it’s a fast-food survey. Treat it like a game of mad libs. “Rate your experience on a scale of 1 to 10?” Pick 5. Always 5. Keep them guessing. Let them think you’re either indecisive or enigmatic. Same with "Would you recommend Burger King to your friends?" Go with "Maybe." It’s the fast-food equivalent of a shrug.

“Suggestions?” Oh, I have some. How about we spice things up? Maybe instead of letting me type out my feelings about cold fries, they should have me battle a digital mascot gladiator-style—“defeat the King, and win fries for a year!” Or perhaps every survey response could earn points toward a therapy session because lord knows if I’m eating this much BK, I have some life choices to work through.

So, to wrap up this absolutely essential deep-dive into the majestic experience that is the MyBK survey, I’ll say this: if you’re hoping for an introspective journey that might make you question your life choices, by all means, dive in. And if you’re really lucky, you’ll get that code for a free Whopper and use it as a small beacon of hope in your otherwise mundane existence.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a life-changing decision to make—whether I want my next Whopper with cheese or double cheese. And you can bet I’ll fill out another MyBK survey to share my thoughts.

My theory is Burger King is just a money laundering front at this point. I see no other plausible explanation for how they are still in business.

I understand where you're coming from—fast food prices have gone up, and it’s easy to wonder why Burger King is still in the game when others offer cheaper alternatives. But let’s break this down a bit, because there are a few factors at play that might explain why Burger King still manages to stay open, even with its price structure.

First, comparing prices between chains like McDonald's, Wendy's, and Five Guys doesn’t always give the full picture. Yes, you might find a Whopper meal for $13.89, and that’s steep. But this isn’t necessarily a standard across all locations; prices can vary significantly due to regional cost differences, especially in areas with higher operational expenses like rent, labor, and supply chain costs. That could be why your local BK feels overpriced compared to other places.

When it comes to quality, I agree with you on some points, especially regarding the inconsistency of BK’s menu items (their fries and nuggets aren’t exactly winning awards). But the Whopper remains a staple for a reason. It has a unique flavor profile that’s hard to find in other fast food chains—it’s flame-grilled, which gives it a distinctive taste that sets it apart from the griddled patties at McDonald’s and Wendy’s. So while the price might not seem justified on paper, BK is banking on the fact that some people will still pay for that specific taste they can’t get elsewhere.

As for Five Guys, it’s a great comparison in terms of burger quality, but it’s a different model entirely. Five Guys doesn’t have a dollar menu or value options, and they charge extra for things like fries and drinks. So while the burger price might be similar, the total meal cost isn’t. BK, McDonald's, and Wendy’s operate on a value-based model where you can pick up a whole meal for less if you choose differently—something you can't really do at Five Guys.

You also mentioned the appearance of Burger King locations, and that’s a valid criticism. Some locations do look outdated, and that can impact customer perception. But there’s a reason for it: renovation is costly, and franchises often prioritize profitable locations. If a store is older, it might indicate that it’s in an area where foot traffic or sales don’t justify a remodel. However, many newer and remodeled BKs look more modern and in line with their competitors.

The idea that it’s a money laundering front is a fun theory, but BK’s staying power likely has more to do with brand loyalty and a niche market. It’s easy to forget, but BK was once the #2 burger chain in the U.S. after McDonald’s, and it still has a strong international presence. Even if some people think they’re overpriced or not as good as other chains, there’s still a significant customer base that craves what only BK offers.

At the end of the day, Burger King isn't perfect, and their pricing might not appeal to everyone. But they’re not in the business of competing solely on price—they’re targeting a specific flavor profile and niche market. It's why they’re still around, even as prices go up.

Oh, look who decided to play fast food economist. You really spent all that time writing a thesis on the economics of Burger King, huh? You must be the type who thinks Taco Bell is a five-star dining experience. I get it—those Doritos Locos Tacos really tickle your refined palate. And let’s be real: you're comparing prices like you’re a budget-conscious foodie, but we all know you’ll still be munching on some $1 mystery-meat tacos at 2 AM, pretending it’s a ‘cultural experience.’

Burger King might be overpriced, but at least their burgers don’t taste like they’ve been assembled in a microwave by someone who’s never seen real meat. But hey, stick to your Taco Bell—maybe one day you’ll graduate to real food."

Wow, you really crawled out of your mom’s basement for that one, huh? Why don’t you shut up and stick to what you know—like scraping together Taco Bell change from your couch cushions. You're just mad because my car is better than whatever rust bucket you’re driving around. Maybe when you grow up and stop pretending to be a fast food critic, you can afford something with more horsepower than a lawnmower. Until then, enjoy your sad little meals and leave the big boy conversations to those of us with taste.

Let's keep this on track, please, and keep the troll comments out of here. Because really, are we all just going to pretend like Burger King isn’t the absolute pinnacle of fast food dining? Please. You all want to rave about other places with their ‘fresh ingredients’ and ‘quality service,’ but I’ll take the smoky, char-grilled glory of a Whopper any day. Burger King is the ultimate taste test: if you can't handle a little flame-broiled magic, you probably aren't sophisticated enough for it. And let's talk about those onion rings—tiny halos of deep-fried perfection. Go ahead and live in your McFantasy world if you want, but real royalty wears a paper crown.

What the fuck did you just order, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class at McDonald's University, and I've been involved in numerous secret menu hacks, and I have over 300 confirmed perfect orders. I am trained in the art of the fry station, and I’m the top cashier in the entire fast food industry. You are nothing to me but just another order ticket. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which have never been seen before on this menu, mark my words.

You think you can get away with complaining about your order online? Think again. As we speak, I am contacting my network of franchise managers, and your location is being traced right now, so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little excuse of a combo you call your "special order." You're done, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can serve a meal in over 700 different combinations, all while staying within the drive-thru time limit.

Not only am I extensively trained in fast food combat, but I also have access to the entire supply chain of every major burger joint, and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable order off the menu, you little sh*t. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your picky-eating stunt was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you’re gonna pay the price.

I will rain fry oil and ketchup fury all over you, and you will drown in it. You're done, kiddo.

Oh, wow, look who has graced us with their presence. Look at you, Mr. Exotic Car Enthusiast, dropping in on a fast food debate like it's beneath you. Maybe if you spent less time polishing your ego and more time learning basic social skills, you’d understand why people talk about things that don’t involve engine sizes or flexing your car payments. Congrats, you’ve managed to be both irrelevant and boring. But hey, keep telling yourself you're above it all—it's probably the only thing that gets you through the day when your entire personality revolves around a hunk of metal

Goddamn, all this talk of fast food, makes me want some Taco Bell breakfast. I’m about to drop some truth: Taco Bell breakfast is criminally underrated. We’re talking about a fast-food chain that not only serves up those classic late-night cravings but also somehow manages to slap at 8 AM with the same energy. It’s like they saw McDonald's and said, “Yeah, we can do that... but better.”

Take the Toasted Breakfast Burrito for example—perfectly toasted with that warm, melty cheese, fluffy eggs, and your choice of bacon, sausage, or potatoes. Honestly, I’d kill someone for a toasted sausage burrito right now. (Hypothetically… maybe.) It’s like a cozy hug in burrito form. And don't even get me started on the Cinnabon Delights. Is it dessert? Is it breakfast? Who cares? They’re delicious, and that’s what counts.

Plus, the variety Taco Bell offers in the morning is unmatched. Whether you’re a burrito lover, a quesadilla fanatic, or just someone who wants some breakfast crunchwrap action—Taco Bell's got your back. It’s like they knew we needed that kind of motivation to survive another workday.

So, if you haven’t given Taco Bell breakfast a shot, you’re seriously missing out. Next time you’re up early or you’ve been up all night, treat yourself to something worth waking up for. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
