Yahoo’s “13 Fast Food Menu Items That Have Fanatical Cult Followings”

by on

There is so much else I need to be writing right now, but I’m hoping this will help shake things loose a little bit.

Yahoo! has an article which, as the title says, looks at 13 fast food items with cult followings. With a hook like that, how could I resist?

It has some of the usual suspects on there, such as Shamrock Shakes and the McRib (both of which I enjoy, especially the former), and some other unexpected offerings as well. Who knew that McDonald’s pizza (the top 3/4 of the sideways arches are sort of like a “z”, you see) had such a following? I only regret never getting to try it myself. There are other items on there, including newer fare such as the KFC Double Down and Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos taco.

Some of these others sound like interesting items to try, but what I wish there was more of a following for is the Arch Deluxe. I did love that burger so, particularly the sauce, but it seems like it will be one of those items which is destined to remain locked away in the storehouse of our memories alongside Ecto Cooler, the Colonel’s Rotisserie Gold, and Crystal Pepsi. I do wonder if there are other like-minded individuals who would like to see its return, though.

Alright, let’s see what I can find in the ol’ Inbox…

Just for the record, I don’t claim any of this as fact, nor do I necessarily share any of the opinions, I’m simply passing it on for the sake of general interest, and hoping someone gets something out of this without having to clear their Inboxes.

A little something new for the site.

See, my dad has this habit of forwarding things to me.? A lot.? I don’t particularly mind, I just don’t always have time to check the stuff.? There are nearly 1000 unchecked e-mails in my box, and I bet a significicant number are from him.

Still, I do check some of them, and some are actually funny or neat.? But rather than bug everyone I know by passing this stuff along, I’m taking a more voluntary approach by posting the stuff here under “Forwarded Fun,” and if you have some spare time and want a little fun, then boom, you’re set.

Put your character in the subject line and forward to your friends and back to the person that sent this to you.

Very interesting to see “who” your friends are!

(10-16 points) You are Garfield:
You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn’t mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:
You are fun, you are very cool and popular. You always know what’s in and you are never are out of style. You are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few? days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned. Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times.

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:
You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and you always see the bright side of things. Some good? advice: try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:
You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to loseWeight Exercise. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it’s funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people, and you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown:
You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays. Don’t let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter:
You are smart and definitely a thinker… Every situation is fronted with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad situation when it comes. Try to do less over thinking every once in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity!

Now don’t spoil it! Have some Fun!! Change the subject of the email to what you are and send it on.

And I’m Spongebob frickin’ Squarepants.? Not that I’ve a problem with that, I just think I’m more a Garfield.

(Also, due to my somewhat indecisive nature, I chose more than one answer in two cases, added up all the possible point combinations, and then divided to reach an average.? Maybe it’s cheating, but if you can do some basic math and are a little indecisive over whether you like pizza or sushi more, then maybe that’s a way for you to enjoy the best of both.)
