Annoying things at Hungry Jack's

In the interest of balance I thought I'd start another thread.

Why have the coke refills when the stuff is always super watered down? Totally not worth it

I haven't had Hungry Jacks in a while, but I find the coke at Maccas tastier than actual Coca Cola. Might be because they put ice in it.

Yes, because ice is so delicious.

You've obviously ask for no ice when you order a coke at Maccas, you cheap bastard!

They give you diet coke which tastes terrible

...Most Coke retailers get their syrup in a bag box. These bag boxes are small and allow a retailer to provide Coke with a minimal investment.

McDonald’s sells a lot of Coke. They sell so much coke that they don’t need to buy the syrup in the small bag box. McDonald’s restaurants can get syrup delivered from a tanker truck and store it in a stainless steel cylinder. Because they sell a lot it doesn’t sit around as long. So the Coke syrup at McDonald’s is fresher than their competitors. Fresher syrup makes better tasting fountain drinks...

I knew it. My taste buds are so sensitive, it's science.

Ok Geelong sicko, is there any difference in the acidity levels of fresher syrup compared to not so fresher syrup with the same amount of preservatives no longer how long it sits?

To be honest - f*cked if I know! I just googled 'McDonalds post-mix Coke'.

Every McDonalds I have been to have the boxes stuff. I have never ever seen one with a steel container for it.

Might be a U.S website. In which case I apologise profusely. Consequently, if you go to Maccas at all in the next week and say 'Some prick on the internet said I could have a free Coke" you'll have a whopping 50% chance of getting one!

The chips. Hungry Jacks chips are just terrible.

That its not McDonalds. I do love a grilled chicken burger though, those things are gold medal standard of fast food.

100% agree.
When I first had one I had to double check I wasn't in 3 michelin star establishment. Shame they're so damn small.

Angry Whoppers go alright. Could be a bit angrier though...

 

[Upgrayedd]

I can't eat two whoppers in one sitting. I need more deliciousness in my mouth then i can bare.

Hungry Jacks dine in is the fourth circle of hell. Especially if it is in a shopping centre. That annoys me, how they use Hungry Jacks' to harbour criminals instead of actual prisons.

The $5.48 an hour they paid me... even on weekends, even at 3am, even on New Years Day, even on Good Friday....

You're not wrong, the few times I go to HJs I just get two burgers. Their stores always seem understaffed and sometimes you have to wait in line for ages just to get served, not to mention the wait before you receive your meal.

As alluded to, it's the magic of post-mix, friend. Same thing at the movies.

Coke taste for me though would be:

Coke in a glass > Post-Mix> Coke in a can > Coke in a bottle.

We always look back at what we were earning working our shitty jobs at 15 and realise "Nah, ild rather be home doing nothing and poor then working all day for 50 dollars"

Coke in glass bottles trump all. Got addicted to the 'medio litro Coca' bottles going through Latin America. Due to the state of some of the recycled bottles straws were mandatory!
