Leave it to KFC to come up with the Frankenfood of 2024. May I present, KFC’s Chizza.
WTIF is a Chizza? Let me let KFC explain. From their website:
“(T)his fried chicken pizza combination includes 2 of our Extra Crispy boneless chicken filets topped with savory marinara sauce, gooey mozzarella cheese, and a kick of pepperoni.”
We all know no fast food looks anywhere quite as nice as its picture. (I’m looking at you McDonald’s). I can’t wait for food blogs, like The Takeout, to review and take pictures of the actual product. Because if that photo is the best-case scenario, I can’t imagine how it will turn out at my local KFC.
“More coffee for me boss / ‘Cause I’m not as messed up as I want to be”
They Might Be Giants – “Hearing Aid”
When I visited my goods friend’s house last year, we had multiple conversations about coffee. The two biggest reasons were: (1) my experience working at Starbucks; and (2) we are borderline caffeine addicts (along with his wife, who loves this stuff more than both of us combined). I also explained my preference to skim milk over regular milk, and perhaps one her daughters might end her aversion to milk if she tried skim instead. He asked if I add skim milk to my coffee, and I said, “hell no.” I explained how that is possibly the worst additive you can put in coffee – at least among whiteners. I should have mentioned that there is one exception. It is a derivative of the old joke, “would you like any coffee to go with your coffee?” It was my loophole to the Starbucks’ employee regulation of one free drink per shift – coffee doesn’t count. So I used to make myself a venti iced coffee which was 75% – 80% skim milk, and 20% – 25% coffee.
There are other additives you can put in your cup o’ joe, such as sugar, artificial sweeteners (e.g., Equal, Splenda), syrups, cinnamon, to name a few. But today, I’m focused on just the whiteners, those that make your cuppa bean juice sweeter and lighter. I prefer to have my morning blend to look like something close to my skin color – a tannish hue. So I’ve ranked my personal favorites below. So for those of you who are lactose intolerant, or just take theirs black, this is not for you.
The internet does not usually give much notice to fast food. Sure, they give some lip service whenever a new item is introduced by a major chain, but rarely does it generate this much buzz. To make things ever crazier, we have a second new fast food item that broke the internet for a completely different reason. Critics around the country have written reviews like long-form think pieces over these two items; which is absurd, because it shouldn’t take longer to read a review of fast food than it is to order and consume it.

If you are confused by any of the acronyms, check out the previous posts. My comments are listed in [ ] – anything in ( ) are all Jerry’s words. I have not fact-checked any of this information. Obviously some things have definitely changed since 2009, especially prices, and should be used for comparative purposes only, as many, many attractions have come and gone since the time this was written. However, that does not invalidate his suggestions one iota. This is still useful, and I think this is so amazing, that I want to share his knowledge and wisdom. Thank you Jerry!

“I should’ve put these with the actual resorts, but SOMEONE didn’t want it there…. I’ve eaten at MOST of these places – the ones I haven’t, I still know from friends and exes and such.”
[And now, the conclusion of the Resort Restaurants arc.]
Let’s face it, folks today always want to be connected to the ‘net. Whether it’s for work, social media, gaming, school, or all of the above, no one can spend precious time away from it. But you can’t skip meals either. Perhaps you have the common decency to realize that you shouldn’t eat on your desk (or on the toilet seat of the bathroom), and want to get a quick bite to eat. That’s where marketing comes in. Besides promoting their new menu item and/or combo meal, eateries now promote the fact that they offer free wi-fi in their building. And being able to check emails during lunch really does make a difference in the numbers of patrons entering your establishment Continue reading “The I, Omnibus Fast Food Wifi Power Rankings, June, 2018 edition”→
