fast food

Have you ever seen America this divided over something? Aside from the 2016 presidential elections, we think not. 

Popeyes and Chick-fil-A came out with a new fried chicken sandwich at the same time and it's created quite the heated debate on Twitter under the hashtag "chicken wars." Even Twitter troll-master Wendy's has gotten in on the roasting, which is a surprise to absolutely no one.

It seems that Twitter has already chosen Popeyes as the winner, but of course you'll have to make the call on your own once you try both!

We believe congratulations are in order. We've all officially made it over the hump to Thursday, and that deserves celebration in the form of these procrastination-fueling and boredom-destroying memes. You're welcome.

Everyone knows about the odd "different" flavor and texture of McDonald's Sprite, and now that sentiment has finally been expressed in meme-and-tweet form. So what makes it so bizarre and different? Well, no one except the McDonald's execs can say exactly why, but the internet has its theories, which you can read about here.

It seems like every brand these days is using some profound human experience to sell their product in hopes that it'll insight some feelings in their customers. We've seen Burger King do it, and apparently now it's Subway's turn. 

Twitter user Ryan Simmons pointed out that a Subway commercial made in Brazil went completely over the top, to say the absolute least, in this new dramatic two-minute video. The seemingly heartfelt ad features a young boy coming of age and ends with him ordering a sandwich at Subway. How the hell Subway's marketing team thought that one up, we'll never know. 

The ad features the main character creeping on his own mother, peeing in a fountain, and shaving his head. Yeah, you're just going to have to watch it to even remotely understand what we're talking about.

Aspiring lawyer Kim Kardashian opened herself up to some savage trolling today when contacting Jack In The Box regarding injustice she allegedly witnessed at one of the fast food chain's locations. The tweet reads "Hey, Jack In The Box I have a serious complaint but I won't fully put you on blast, check your corporate email inbox or send me a DM with direct person for my team to contact. Pronto!" and had Twitter users wondering what the hell happened to make Kanye's wife so upset. 

Kardashian was quick to offer a disclaimer: "I would like to add that this is not about me or a wrong order. Nobody recognized me and it's something that I observed that affected other customers at this particular location that was concerning." Judging by this tweet, Kim's charitable nature extends beyond prison reform. Unfortunately, this didn't stop memers from roasting the crap out of the "self-made" celebrity. And by golly, the tweets were good. Now all we need to know is the tea behind this tweet. Fingers crossed it comes out sooner rather than later. 

Craving a delicious, juicy burger? Yeah, join the club. Unfortunately we don't have a burger for you, but we do have burger memes, which is the next best thing, right? They won't help satiate your intense craving for the greasy piece of heaven that is a hamburger, but they will make you laugh, and perhaps hold you over til you can actually get your hands on one!

In a move that's clearly a jab at the McDonald's Happy Meal, Burger King has recently launched "Real Meals" as a part of its #FeelYourWay campaign that aims to raise awareness for mental health issues for Mental Health Awareness Month.

Is this a smart move on their part? When it comes to marketing the brand, we thinks that's a definite yes. Will it actually lead to helping people who deal with mental illnesses? Who knows! We'd love to know what you think on that matter.

And seriously, we have to ask WHAT is going on with brands on social media these days? It seems like after the Wendy's Twitter account made its sassy mark on the world, every single brand wants to get in on that saucy social media action. 

We love the way these fantasy object-labeling memes take epic, ridiculous fantasy art and spin it into something that most people can relate to - or at least laugh at. 

Creating a tagline or a jingle is a crucial part of marketing for almost every brand - it's gotta be something that represents the brand well and easily gets stuck in your head. The following posts much more accurately describe what we're actually thinking about the brand's reputation! \

Come on Lay's, literally everyone knows that 70% of the bag is air. We aren't being fooled by your lies...

Working in the service industry is rarely fun, but working at McDonald's seems like a whole new kind of hell. The fast-food restaurant makes it so easy to have a seamless ordering experience, and yet people can't help but f*ck it up. 

We can bet that every single person reading this asked the "Mom-can-we-go-out-to-eat?" question during childhood just to hear her say "no, we have food at home." And course, as these memes suggest, usually the food at home is far less tasty than anything you could've gotten at the drive-thru (especially when your parents aren't the best cooks...).

But in the end, we're secretly thankful that our parents provided us with home-cooked meals as kids, even if those meals tended to be un-sauced spaghetti noodles and a slice of unseasoned ham on the side.

Ah fast food, one of the great inventions of America. It's gross and greasy and questionably made but we both know you aren't going to stop eating it any time soon. If God didn't want us to eat so much greasy sh*t then he wouldn't make it so damn addictive and vegetables so expensive!
