Apparently Sneezy Works at Burger King

dwarvesheader
I think someone keeps sneezing in my whoppers. Okay first off, I don’t eat them very often, so get off your healthy high horse. I had one on Sunday and I think the last one I had before that was at least six months ago. Moderation! Anyway, the last two times I had them I’ve gotten sick. Not food poisoning sick, but stuffed up, sore throat, feverish sick. I didn’t remember getting sick the last time until I woke up Monday feeling like hell, otherwise I would have thought twice about having one on Sunday (though admittedly, I’d probably still have had it). But there we go. I feel like crap.

Were they from the same BK? You should report it to the management. Hey, you might att least get a free Whopper out of the deal!

No, different Burger Kings. Apparently Sneezy gets around.

By the time you feel symptoms of a cold the virus has been at work under the radar for a little while. Maybe early infection triggers Whopper cravings. Just a thought.

I think you’ve been kissing David. Those seem to be HIS symptoms. Hmmmm.

I don’t care for Burger King. No logical reason, I just prefer McDonald’s. Actually I prefer A&W because I like their onion rings.

Feel better soon.

Craig, the real reason that you are getting sick is your Whopper tolerance is low. You need to eat more of them to build your tolerance up. Trust me, they are good for you.

Whoa, boy whoa! Easy there, Silver. Hmmm, Craiggers, you look so short from up here. ‘Scuse me while I jump off this saddle, tie ‘er up to the post and sashay over for a little chat.

Now what’s this I hear about you eatin’ Whoppers, big fella?
By Hilly, September 15, 2009 @ 8:56 am

Thank you so much. No really, I mean it. My weakness is Whoppers but the grand poobah at Weight Watchers forbids them. You just made it that much easier!
By Michelle M., September 15, 2009 @ 8:56 am

Are you sure it was the Whopper? Maybe it was the french fries.

I think Mark is onto something.

Tam: David wishes!

Although I did get jiggy with that high horse of his one night. I should have used protection! Guess the horse passed it between both of us.

I believe you’re being singled out by Sneezy due to his well documented hatred and bias against the vertically blessed.
By Dave S., September 15, 2009 @ 10:34 am

Sucks that you feel bad! Maybe you should switch to White Castle — their double cheeseburgers and onion chips are to die for!

Of course you may feel like dying after eating them… lol

You should run them through an autoclave. Sure, they will be a soggy mess, but they will be a sterile, soggy mess.

I also didn’t realize that you were into starring in donkey shows.

David’s horse?
By Mel, September 15, 2009 @ 11:49 am

Well poop. Hope you feel better fast.

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve had any kind of fast food hamburger, but as I recall, the rehydrated minced onions made them pretty much all smell like BO. Of course, my high school classmate Ruth once famously observed that Doritos smell like dirty feet, and I still eat those.
By David, September 15, 2009 @ 11:51 am

Nope, john, my back is hairier.

Craig: I wondered why that horse was walking funny.
By Paul, September 15, 2009 @ 11:53 am

Time to switch to Checkers, I don’t think they have any Sneezys there, well feel better I just jused my FSA money to stock up on meds so let me know if you need anything.
By Craig, September 15, 2009 @ 12:44 pm

LOL!! @ “I wondered why that horse was walking funny.”
By Tam, September 15, 2009 @ 12:46 pm

Mel: I can vouch for the fact that the Harvey’s chain in Canada used fresh onions. During a period of real-job unemployment years ago I sliced enough of the damn things to know for certain.

Burger places I have never eaten (that don’t exist in Canada and I never bothered to go to in the US) – Checkers, Sonic, White Castle, Hardees, In-n-Out, Carl’s Jr. My burger experience appears to be lacking. I did get to Chik-Fil-A for the first time ever this summer. Eh.
By Hayden, September 15, 2009 @ 1:07 pm

White Castle is the cure-all for a hangover….ummm so I have heard….
By Chris D., September 15, 2009 @ 1:47 pm

I got sick on Friday. I thought I was feeling better, but now I am feeling a little foggy again. Maybe I got sick again from reading Puntabulous. Keep those germs off your blog! Seriously, feel better. I just kept taking Dayquil and Nyquil. It helped lessen the effects of my cold. Before you know it you will be back in the saddle again (that poor horse!).
By Mel, September 15, 2009 @ 2:40 pm

Tam: The absolute best thing about Hardee’s is their breakfast biscuits, but since we don’t have the chain in New England it’s a rare treat when I’m back south to visit. In general, though, pickings are slim for vegetarians at most fast food joints, so I don’t go to many of them anymore.
By M. Nicodemus, September 15, 2009 @ 2:49 pm

I worked at a Burger King when I was back in high school, I will not eat there anymore. ‘Nuff said.

Living in the boondocks like I do, I don’t get much chance to eat fast food, unless we make a trip out of town, and as such my tolerance has gone way down. Now I will regret eating a Double-Double Animal Style for at least a day afterwards, which really sucks ’cause I used to love In-n-Out.
By M. Nicodemus, September 15, 2009 @ 2:53 pm

Dave S.: the Mrs. keeps telling me that White Castle is the best ever, but I always figure that it’s just another Canadian food myth like Poutine and Tigers Tail ice cream. Are you telling me it’s real?
By Tam, September 15, 2009 @ 3:18 pm

Nico: Hey, poutine IS the best. If you’re trying to induce a heart attack. Tiger Tail ice-cream not so much. I hate licorice. If it wasn’t for that movie about Harold and Kumar, White Castle wouldn’t be on anyone’s radar screen likely.
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, September 15, 2009 @ 3:54 pm

In-N-Out is pretty much the only burger place I go to anymore.
By Polt, September 15, 2009 @ 4:27 pm

I made a somewhat spontaneous trip to white castle about a year and a half ago (http://poltspalace.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-chill-at-white-castle-cause-its-best.html). Food was…eh. Fries were better than the burgers, and had less grease. And the service was terrible…but then we were in New Jersey, so I guess that’s to be expected. The best part about the trip, much the Harold and Kumar movie, was the journey getting there, not the destination itself.

And poutine looks like colorless snot on fries. And due to that image I have no idea whatsoever about how it tastes.

Oh, and Craiggers, look on the bright side: Grumpy could be working there instead of Sneezey, and when Grumpy’s not happy, which is always, the Witch only knows what HE puts in the burgers.

HUGS…

I’m sick too!! My throat hurt so bad last night, but now my nose is running as well.
By Tam, September 15, 2009 @ 6:59 pm

Eeek. You guys are spreading the virus. I’m washing my hands after clicking away from this site. Feel better all. Drugs, lots of drugs, Sudafed, Nyquil, Neocitran, Tylenol, take it all.
By josh, September 16, 2009 @ 11:14 pm

All you sick Puntapeep should take a shot of OJ with an Emergen-C Citrus chaser! Dr. Josherz’ orderz!
