Went to a KFC and the menu would only show the value items/deals for like 15seconds at a time, once every 4 minutes. shit fuckin sucks
But at least I could get cherry-orange-strawberry-coke from the new soda machine. those are nice.

Yeah, I know a couple people like that. They don't understand my hatred of those new menu boards because they always order the same stuff. I doubt they've even tilted their heads up in years when walking into most fast food places. That said, not all of us eat as much fast food as you guys, so we rely on the menu boards to help us choose.
I think they purposely use animations and shit to cover up the value menu to encourage people not to buy the cheap stuff.

Seriously this is one technological innovation I embrace like invading ant overlords. Not only is it preferred but if it means that I don't have to repeat my order to someone that can barely comprehends a basic order and that I don't have then listen to the butchering of the English language in response then let the robots take over.
I NEVER SAID MILD SALSA SO WHY IS IT ON MY FUCKING CHIPOTLE BURRITO YOU GODDAMN DROP OUT!
Clearly I have issues with my local Chipotle...

I'm expecting it to work as well as the self scanners in the grocery store. Meaning terribly.

The grocery store self check out has one fatal flaw. if there is no bar code looking up items for the 4 digit code is beyond the capability of most of the mouthbreathers out there. Which sadly is about 75% of the population.
Also reading comprehension. When it is time to pay people stare at it like they are decipher hieroglyphics. Credit? Hit the credit button. Cash? Hit the cash button. Debit? It says Credit/Debit...yes you hit that button. GD Rocket Surgery for some people.

So a while ago I switched from pizza rolls to these bad boys:
Soooooo good. I haven't had the Asian or Jalapeno ones because my grocery store is super lame and doesn't carry them, but holy shit are the Smokin Bacon BBQ ones amazing. The Triple cheesy bacon aren't bad, but I've found some stringy bits of something in them that were a little disturbing, but you can eat around it.
My only complaint is that the outer shell isn't quite as tasty as pizza rolls. It's like they were trying to emulate full-size hot pocket shells, so they're flakier than a pizza roll. My ideal food would be a pizza roll shell with these fillings.
Have you tried the Totino's Flavor Blasted? It's a normal pizza roll with a flavor coating kind of like the Doritos shells at Taco Bell. My GF is addicted.

All this talk of Pizza roll's makes me yearn for my college days. There was a pizza place in town called Sergi's that had the most glorious of items, the Fatbag. It was basically a medium pepperoni pizza made with fried dough type dough, folded over and deep fried. It was 4$, or 5$ after a 1$ delivery tip and it was glorious.
If you even venture to Potsdam or Canton, NY in the far northern tundra it is worth a visit.

The Fatbag looks amazing. With that deep fried shell it's the closest thing I've ever seen to a giant pizza roll.
All this pizza roll talk got me in the mood for pizza rolls tonight, but when I got to the novelty aisle of the grocery store I couldn't decide if I wanted regular pizza rolls, bold pizza rolls, or Hot Pocket food truck bites. So I bought all three and made a potpourri for dinner. Despite all having different cooking instructions, they turned out perfectly:
Smoking Bacon BBQ Recipe Burger Food Truck Bites
Triple Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
Nacho Cheese Blasted Crust Taco Pizza Rolls

So is this where we come to talk about BBQ?
They just opened a McDonalds about 30m north of me (St Joseph, MO) and they offer unlimited french fries. A friend and I are planning on driving up there on a weekend once there aren't lines wrapped around the building, and seeing how many fries we can down in one sitting.
