Explain this

Why is it that at most fast food places, when they do specials (two biscuits for two dollars) it's either bacon, egg, and cheese or sausage and egg? Why is there no cheese on the sausage and egg biscuit? Seriously, is it not possible to slap a piece of cheese on there?

good question. But do they even sell a regular sausage egg and cheese buscuit? Even if there's no special deal?


I'd also like someone to explain to me why people put things (like plastic bags or t-shirts) hanging out of their car window when they have to leave a car on the side of the road. Is that some kind of universal signal that means "No really, I'm coming back for it."

I think they do. I haven't thought about that part though.

It's the universal sign for the car is broken down. We were taught that in driver's ed.

well I'll be darned. I guess that's why people do it then. I did not know that.

Isn’t it the car is broken down, and I’m coming back for it?

yeah it means it broke down and i'll come back. which i guess is opposed to 'i just decided to leave my car parked on the side of the highway and walk'
but we were taught that in drivers ed too

Ok, enough about cars, back to the biscuits. Why no cheese?

There is no sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit that I've ever seen.

this is probably because a sausage biscuit in itself is pretty much a breakfast staple. The sausage has enough substance to carry itself on its own and is juicy, so add an egg and it's special, although it is better with cheese. But with bacon, it's so skimpy, there's not enough substance, so the cheese is necessary. Anyways, the sausage/egg/cheese muffins are the way to go, if you're at mcdonalds that is.

Speaking of mcdonalds, has anyone noticed that a few years ago they changed their biscuits, and they're not nearly as good as they used to be. That really made me sad. Now hardees is the king of breakfast biscuits.

Putting cheese on a sausage/egg biscuit would be a crime against nature. :nono :vomit

It's so much better with cheese. The cheese holds the sausage and the egg together. It's ten times better with cheese.

Yes, hardee’s is breakfast king.

You'd be hard pressed to find something that cheese doesn't make better

Some weirdos even eat it with pie.

holy crap I almost forgot to mention this: Everybody needs to go and get one of those breakfast burritos from Burger King. I had one the other day and it was fantastic. Bacon, egg, hasbrowns and cheese sauce in a tortilla. The only down size is it's a tad small. But you can just get 2.

i thought mcdonalds changed something in their biscuits.
cheese definitely makes the sausage and egg better. I don't think i've ever seen it offered, but I think it makes it much better.

you can add cheese to just about anything, it'll just cost you about $0.40

The only downside to burger king breakfast stuff is the fake eggs. mcdonalds only uses the real stuff. I don't know about hardees.

what what what? I've never had their biscuits so I don't doubt that. I was talking about their breakfast wrap.


But BK food sucks? You crazy? In terms of regular fastfood chains, (McDs, Wendy's, Hardees, etc.) You can't beat a double stacker.

Double whopper with cheese is pretty good too. Chicken sandwich isn't bad either.

bk's breakfast is terrible and unworthy of my stomach acid..

mcdonalds i usually either go sausage/egg/cheese mcmuffin. but as disgusted as i was at first, the mcgriddles are starting to be the bomb.

hardees. their biscuits are the best, no doubt about it...

i make the only breakfast burritos that i can eat at home....eggs/taco cheese/chorizo/hotsauce...mmmmmmmmmm....ok its basically a breakfast chimichanga because after i wrap the tortilla, i fry them in crisco...

I was over on 221 this morning and they had McDonald's, not Hardee's, so I was stuck with McDonald's. Hardee's is by far the best.

i only like mcdonalds if i want a mcmuffin....

Sheetz has a pretty good breakfast--and they have copied most of the breakfast entries from McDonalds & Burger King.

pretty much anything at Sheetz is pretty subpar. And at least $1.50 overpriced.
