  I feel like modern fast food is more for people without kitchens or avoid cooking almost entirely.

  In a high cost of living area that’s like seven spicy potato soft tacos each!

  Not that the kids’ appetites will be driven by that small line of text on the menu board… (also this reminds me of people who have a no soda policy for the family so they can go out to eat and consistently save like three dollars a person)

  My favorite part of modern eating is gating the best deals behind a spyware app so presumably they can sell your data (to your health insurer or something, when the next CEO decides they need a boost)

    I constantly thank my parents in spirit, because fuck saying it to their hateful maga faces, for the no soda thing. I have seen far too much evidence for soda’s addictive qualities in my patients, and the prices at the store are simply insane. I’m sure the water only life I live is at least partly responsible for the lack of waist ballooning that seems common among my coworkers.

      The life less carbonated!

        I don’t think I have ever made enough to afford the house you’d need for a sodastream to look right in it.

  Taco bell is still crazy cheap as far as fast food goes, I hope you bought enough for several days at least

  Learn to avoid combos, bring your own cup for drink. My taco bell trips are $4-5 without the app.

  I always have a cup in my car, and I’ll swing by and fill up with a drink if I want. I don’t pay for it.

    Usually I don’t care if you steal from a corporation, but I wouldn’t do it if my family or kids are involved.

      I don’t with family/kid, but my example still stands. Meals don’t need to be $15-20/person. He’d rather get 2 tacos and a steam game than an extra burrito.

      Drinks I fill up when I’m alone, usually during the workday. Not lately though, trying to quit soda.
