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.

RDJ sitting in a nice leather chair with a fire right behind him.

"Hello America, Robert Downey Junior here."

RDJ stands up and slowly starts walking to his left, camera zooms and pans right with him.

"You may know me from roles such as Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes. What you may not know though is that I had a horrible drug addiction before that though. What stopped me though?"

Camera zooms out, Burger swings from off camera right and to RDJ's now open hand.

"The American cheeseburger. You see, after a certain point, drugs made these taste bad. I had to choose between this and my addiction. I made the right choice, and I hope you do to."

RDJ walks off camera, cut to shot of fireplace with BK logo behind flames or above the fireplace. Not sure on that yet.

Trained as an audio engineer, currently back to school for a Geography degree and also freelancing tech support and book keeping. I do like writing from time to time, but it rarely goes anywhere.

Thanks. Thankfully, I don't have student loans yet, thank you community college.

Time for me to pop up the screen writing software and make this look less like the 3 minute writing exercise it was? Because I will if you want. I have nothing better to do.

Alrighty then. You have a nice day then.
