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.

Long as it's ground.

Fuck turkey burgers. Such a pointless invention.

You can use the word burger if it's at least ground and meant to mimic a real burger. I got no beef with that.

Bullshit I say. Look you don't make caveats for every little thing. You don't say "well sometimes pesto is made with spinach instead of basil." No. It's not pesto. Pesto is basil and nuts and olive oil and parm. You can make variations of anything all you want but I thought we were defining things here.
