    I went there specifically to try those, soggy and not good at all.

    I dont know if the stupid kids they had working there just screwed it up or that is the way they are...but you could barely tell it was sweet potato and like I said...SOGGY

    Yeah, went there many times. Heck, went to Prince's a hell of a lot. We used to cruise up in my cousin's souped up '56 Chevy and get great burgers, rings, and malts in a big glass. Delicious! And the chicks waiting on the cars were usually hot, as well. I don't know if there's a Prince's still around, but the last one I went to a few years ago was like a different place altogether. The food was mediocre. I was bummed.

    Why do people choose to eat fast food? its not really any cheaper than regular food you would find at a restaurant.

    And you could get it to go and eat much healthier food. I see people spending $8+ on fast food places and i ask myself: Do they realize they can get something MUCH MUCH MUCH better and more delicious for the same price?

    Don't you know Fat people LOVE drive thru's or Drive-in's cause they're lazy and they don't have to get their fat butt's out the car.

    I think it is more because they are embarrassed and ashamed of being fat. Dont want to be seen in the fast food place and have people glare at them (thinking: no wonder you are fat you come here to eat) so thats why they dont get out of their cars and use drive thru.

    When it's the middle of busy season and I'm leaving at 10-11pm, I'm not cooking for myself and I'm not going somewhere to sit down.

    It depends on what you get. Fast food is a quick cheap meal, albeit unhealthy, but not more so than most restaurants that serve similar food.

    You don't need to tip, they got value menus, and you get it fast. And it just depends on what you're in the mood to eat. Honestly though the only true fast food places I go to would be Sonic (usually for slushes), Whataburger and Taco Bell..and Subway/Which Which/Quiznos. And that's not all too often...well aside from slushes at Sonic.

    Convenience, consistency, and speed of service.

    What if you are in a different part of town and you're hungry? You don't know any restaurants or where they are located, plus you aren't even sure if they will be any good. Why not go to a McDonald's that is fast and you know what it will taste like?

    Plus I doubt McDonald's is more expensive than the average restaurant.

    Never trust a restaurant where the manager is still in high school.

    He said Texas. As far as I'm concerned In N Out is opening it's first Texas location in the Austin area soon.

    What are some good slushy combos at Sonic’s?
    Do they have cherry coke Slush?

    The only flavors I order there are Cherry-lime and pineapple slush.

    Rumor has it that they drain the acne grease from the public bathrooms at Robert E. Lee high school. I cannot prove it, but where there is smoke, there is fire.

    Grape-lime has always been a favorite of mine.
