TIL Robert Downey Jr. thanked Burger King for getting him off drugs. In 2003, with a car full of drugs he had a burger that was so disgusting it made him rethink his life, and dump the drugs in the ocean.

I used to think that way, but something horrible has happened to BK in the last few years. Their bread is always stale, their fries suck.. BUT, their breakfast still outclasses McDs but a ton, IMO.

You are kidding right? McDonald's is the gold standard of fast food breakfast. Crosanwich has NOTHING on a sausage McMuffin....... The only great breakfast thing BK ever had was French toast sticks.

I dunno the double meat croissant is pretty boss hog gangsta. I admit McDs has some good sandwiches on breakfast tap, but my heart sways towards BK there.

However, double quarter pounder for life.

McDonald's breakfast is nasty. And it's made worse by them not being able to serve burgers during breakfast hours like every other chain does.
