No, chips are the chunky sticks of goodness you find wrapped in newspaper, accompanied by a jumbo sausage and pot of curry sauce.

Fries are sissy chips, but unfortunatley there's no alternative when purchasing a burger.

Waitaminit... I thought chips were served with malt vinager.. whats wid da curry stuff? y'all goin Paki over there? :p

Could well be.....curry is more popular than fish and chips are now.

Actually, the tripple whopper is not all that bad for you. One thing I learned from the movie Supersize it is the guy that ate Big Macs every day had good cholesterol, but the guys that ate the fries - bad news man!

The point is - don't eat the fries.

Also, don't drink the drink - its like opening up a bag a sugar and swallowing.

Yes, I have noticed that Burger King are pretty cheeky against McDonalds. And I can't help but wonder how the hell they can do it without getting their meat sued back to the farm. Remember an old add here in Sweden where they said: Sorry McDonalds, but we're the real Burger Kings! (or something like that). Surely this isn't acceptable according to law is it?

As a matter of fact, no. Jack in the Box is not a chain that is existing in Sweden (or as far as I know, any other part of Europe.)

I always thought an Aberdeen Angus was one of those big, hairy red cows. Now I learn that they are actually Highland cows.

Oh well, you learn something new every day.

Angus:

Highland cow:

Just a useless bit of trivia.

They still taste good though....

There was a good RC Cola ad that took the Mickey out of Coke and Pepsi, It was the one about the two deep sea fishing boats, that used coke and pepsi cans to "catch" consumers!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
