World’s Most Hated Fast Food Chains

Why did I first read this as Moose Knuckle when I glanced at it?- Top 5 candy rankings
I remember those days from my childhood in England...SOOOOOO good.- World’s Most Hated Fast Food Chains
They still remember the abomination? Either that or "Taco Bell" is code speak for "Cartels"- Corpus Christi
I DID find out last week that our research center is going to building up another office in downtown in the old JC Penney building (which TAMU-CC bought a few years ago). Since, I'll be in charge of a lot of the stuff that gets set up in that center I may be spending more time downtown than I ever have. Will be interesting...maybe I'll finally have an excuse to try all these places down there since I won't immediately leave the Bluff and head straight back OTB....- Corpus Christi
Did you mean N Padre Island and not Port A? Because all of those are here on NPI.- Your diet breaker
Surprised you didn't say the McRib...- San Antonio
I had Palenque several times when I was staying down in Harlingen this summer. That stuff is the shit. I was impressed!- Top 5 candy rankings

WTF is the hate for KFC? It's fried chicken. Not the greatest, but still good.- TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
Between those two, I'd say the AMEX Plat is the better choice. Points are considered more valuable than the AA miles and are easier to use IMO. LOTS more perks $200 Travel credit $179 CLEAR Credit (this is really handy at quite a few airports - especially since so many people have TSA Pre so the lines aren't that much shorter) Centurion Lounge access (and Priority Pass lounges) $200 Uber Cash And more... As you can see above, just those 3 credits above pretty much pay for the annual fee ($595) Now...I don't really have much experience with the Chase Sapphires...so you might want to wait and have someone with more experience with them let you know if it's better than the Platinum. The only downside I've found with the Platinum is that every once in awhile some place won't accept AMEX (paid a bill yesterday on my condo and that happened).- Your diet breaker
I remember when I first moved to the US in 1978 and could not find any Salt and Vinegar chips (crisps) anywhere. Somewhere around my freshman year at A&M my uncle that lived in Iowa found some and sent me several bags... I destroyed them and then realized I was now back to status quo. SOOOOOOOOOO glad that the US realized how glorious they are...- Your diet breaker
Booze- TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
The Citi Executive MC gives you Admirals Club for you and up to 2 guests. That's a $200 discount on the AC. Earn miles on every purchase and 2X on AA purchases. Free bag/pp The AMEX Plat gets you Centurion Club access for you and 2 guests (but I believe the guests go away in a few years). Platinum has a TON of goodies that basically make up for it's HUGE annual fee. Points can be spent on a lot more things. If you book points travel through their website many flights will get you a 35% refund of the points. I just got 2 RT tix from DFW-SXM over Christmas for 90K points after the reimbursement. Gets you Gold status at Marriott and Hilton. Chase Sapphire Reserve as stated above is better than the Preferred - but more expensive. Chase is subject to the 5/24 rule. Reserve can get you some Club access. Elite status with auto rental places - upgrades are nice. TSA/Global Entry fee credit. PRIMARY car rental insurance which is a BIG thing - any issues don't go through your normal auto insurance. I'm a fan of my AMEX Plat. Just seems all around to get me everything I want - plus it's good for the occasional "OOOOH, that's heavy" when you pay with it. Oh and the Centurion Lounge is pretty nice - free drinks (not just well drinks, either) - free chef inspired food.- San Antonio
Oh great...they go to shit just before they open one on N Padre Island that I can go to...- "Free Taco for Life"
When I saw the title say the Taco was singular, I was assuming it was going to kill you if you ate it...- El Paso recs
Drive up towards Las Cruces and turn off to go to Chope's in La Mesa. Damn...I miss that place.- Port Aransas
We had a Hurricane (Hanna) and a massive deep freeze (3 days below freezing) come through the area. So, obviously that was due to Covid...- Port Aransas
Generally, the turnaround isn't bad, but sometimes I swear you get demons from hell that destroy the condo and it really does take a LOT of work to clean it - We get pics occasionally and are just shocked that people could be that filthy.- Port Aransas
To be honest, I'm a condo owner here...that's how I know cleaners. The ones I know live on the island (well, one just moved to the Bluff this month, but not because of living expense). It IS a more expensive here, but I know a number of people that live on the island that don't have a shit ton of $$$. They don't live on the water, but still...they're on an island.- Port Aransas
It depends...I know some of the people that do cleaning here. A deep clean to them is a LONG day...- Port Aransas
Well, I know a lot of the people that clean condos here and that's not true...- World's Best Cities
Actually, my posts were even nicer than 956's. I didn't denigrate NYC, just said that many other cities have much more to offer of things I prefer...- World's Best Cities
While that IS funny...even though I'm an Aggie, I am not THAT dumb.😀- World's Best Cities
Watch yourself on the NYC comments...I said essentially the same thing on the NYC thread and was attacked mercilessly😀... - Your diet breaker
