Burger King's Frypod

Krang's Uncle · 01-14-2007, 08:23 PM

Heres a thread out of left field, i was eating at a Burger King yesterday night and started to wonder what other people think about the frypod. The frypod, just in case you dont know, is what Burger King put their fries in and is shaped so that it may fit in the drink holster of your car. My questions for you are, what you think of it, does it seem to have more fries in it than the old little bags, and does it actually work in the drink compartment? Personally, i think the concept is ok, i like new ideas and this certainly is one in regards to fast food. But, i dont think it holds as many fries as the bags before. It seems like im getting less for my dollar. And i dont eat in my car, so i have no idea as to whether it works as advertised. What do you think about it?

This sounds like something that Pierre from the Conan skit would be complaining about.

Whos Pierre?

I just miss the old bags, they seemed to hold more fries. Anymore, thats about all i can stomach from Burger King.

Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage.

I love that bit because it's so insanely geeky and you know the guy is venting his real-life frustrations.

I dunno if we have those here yet...but then i try to avoid the king of microwaved fast food. Yes, they have nukers in the kitchen.

^^^ Yeah, they do microwave food... just the burgers though, and if it's a whopper it's just the bottom bun and the patty (and cheese, if you get that). All of the chicken stuff stays plenty warm.

The mediums actually hold more... not much more, but still. Especially with onion rings.

And the king size holds more as well... the larges actually got cut back a bit.

Ooohhh, I love Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage. The things he talks about are so out there. I've always wondered how that thought of that stuff.

I honestly think that Pierre acts like that in real life, and when something nerdy makes him mad, he'll make a skit about it.

This would be a perfect example.

If I want to totally pig out I can pour them into my mouth with that thing. So it's great.

That or he's a good actor. There's no way I could keep a straight face, but he does. The last one I saw was about him getting a proper display case for his matchbox cars in his bathroom because some can't fit trucks and some have ugly hinges in the front, hahaha. I focused on his facial expressions and he didn't once smile. I could never do it.

He's not a good actor. One of the very first (if not THE very first) rants he had got him a guest spot on Stargate - they showed the clip on Conan and he was HORRIBLE!! LOL, it was so funny.

What I honestly think it is is that Pierre comes to work and makes these rants to his co-workers and one day Conan or someone else on the writing staff said, Pierre, we're giving you an outlet for all of your frustrations and the recliner of rage was born.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 01-15-2007, 06:40 PM

I dont remember seeing that one. Was he cracking up and stuff? I just mean he does a great job of keeping a straight face (from what I've seen) and that just makes it all the better.

That's a good theory. Geez, I'm very curious now.
