I had a Whopper and fries at Booger King last year for the first time in a couple of decades. With a drink it was like $20 which is pretty absurd. It actually tasted pretty good and the fries were fresh out of the fryer (which is basically what makes fries good), but I just felt so physically bad after eating. I don’t know what it was, probably the massive amount of salt in it.
I sometimes feel like shit if I get a drink with one of the red dyes, red 40 I think? It’s in orange crush, some pink lemonades, and some fruit punches iirc, but it makes it feel like there’s pressure on my gut. Kinda like I have to take a dump but I don’t.
Probably not what you experienced but figured I’d mention it since it took me a while to make the connection, especially since it doesn’t always happen if I have an orange pop (maybe different dye?).
Hmm, that’s interesting. I’m a big orange soda fiend and I drink Sunkist, Crush and Fanta. it does appear that only Crush has Red 40 in it. Sometimes I feel like I have to fart real bad and sometimes I don’t - maybe that’s the dye. I should really be drinking water but I find it so boring.
Ah nice, I see fanta a lot but often skip it because I don’t want to risk feeling kinda crappy. But I’m glad I like water, it’s so refreshing!

The impossible whopper helps with this. I’m not vegan nor do I eat fast food often, but I’m sold on the impossible whopper over the standard when I gotta stuff my maw at immediate, inconvenient, times.

Same. The vegan patty has better consistency than their actual beef.
