Zhukov It was in the comic, that's good enough for me.

King Hadas but are chili dogs really considered official sonic canon? they were only featured in the cartoons.

Fathom Zero They do have chili dogs

Zhukov The graphic design is very Sega-esque you have to admit, but I suppose it would have been 'chilli dogs' or something rubbish like that.


As opposed to a burger.

I'll come at you, bro.

And I don't think I'm a dietitian, but everything you say is probably true.

Whatever, fuck you guys. I'm eating Long John Silvers Fish Tacos.

This isn't owned by Sega, is it? it looks like it could be with that font, the blue drink and the fact that there are onion "rings".

wat

None of those things are bad for you. Also, your gay little chart completely ignores carbohydrate and protein content, and protein content per calorie is by fucking far the most salient part of nutritional information. Did you even look at the breakdowns I posted? The grilled double down is more than half protein, which is outrageously awesome for fast food. you would have to eat something like 3 or 4 big macs to get the same protein content.

I've mentioned it before in another thread (or in this one, too lazy to check), but limiting cholesterol is something that moms do because they read about it in cosmo. Your body needs a certain amount of cholesterol and can make 100% of the amount it needs, BUT it will compensate by lowering its output if you consume cholesterol. In other words, don't worry about cholesterol ever because you will never eat enough of it to surpass the amount your body is supposed to handle. Unless you're a true american and eat like 4+ baconaters a day, in which case you probably aren't too concerned about 'nutritional information' to begin with.

Sodium content could be a concern. That is, if you weren't ALREADY EATING FAST FUCKING FOOD AND ARE GOING TO GET A TRUCKLOAD OF THAT SHIT NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO FUCK YOU

so in other words, your chart is tracking 3 completely useless metrics and is therefore useless.
you are also useless by association.

you could pretty much make the same stupid point by listing an entire 2-pound tub of protein as a meal and comparing it to an ice cream sundae. PSSH YEAH I GUESS THAT 99% PROTEIN THING HAS LESS FAT BUT LOOK AT THOSE CALORIES OMG

Evil Robot Don't you people have delis where you live? You know, actual real food?

Zhukov God damn you bastards I want a Sonic Jalapeņo Cheeseburger now.
May 9th, 2010 02:21 AM
Fathom Zero You can just feel the grease sliding off of the grilled one. I like KFC's grilled chicken more than their fried chicken, so I was weirded out by that.
May 9th, 2010 12:56 AM
Pentegarn Hmmm, I assumed the grilled one would have less sodium and cholesterol too. You live you learn

Would have helped if the first time I looked at the color breakdown key too I guess

Once I actually did my research I found out that fact. It almost ruins its fun though
May 8th, 2010 11:27 AM
Fathom Zero The grilled version is actually worse for you, calorie for calorie. Also, the Baconator is far worse. Big Macs look awesome by comparison. I gotta find the link to the little study.

I must admit I both ate and enjoyed a couple of them myself... despite the fact that my arteries clogged from hearing about it. That conversation when something like this:

KC speaker: Welcome to KFC, may I take your order

Me: Yeah, what's the deal with this double down thing?

KFC speaker: It is 2 chicken breasts with bacon, 2 kinds of cheese and sauce between them

Me: Jesus! That sounds like it would kill me if I looked at it.... so I better go ahead and order one
