Every fast food restaurant should be following this model

PDQ is not only my workplace, but it really sparked an idea in my head. I can't see how franchises like McDonald's can compete with this quality food at reasonable prices. Shit, everything is prepared fresh and is much better for your overall health. Of course, eating their fried foods isn't a healthy thing to do but they have healthy alternatives that are just as delicious.

So I guess the topic to discuss would be, why can't this model be the inspiration for all other fast food chains?

Didn't realize that there was a location in Columbia, SC. I'll try to go there next weekend.

nigger, pdq is just as fried as anywhere else. it's just as bad for you.

It's not exactly good for you, but compared to McDolans I'd say this is less likely to kill you <.<

And bloody hell... 20/30 oz Sodas... jesus...

Instead of SubShit, I eat at places like Jimmy Johns, as they have actual fresh made bread and a guy that slices all the meats

Not like you have to drink it in one sitting. I'll drive over to Popeyes if I'm at school and need something to eat and my drink will last me for about 2 hours

It's not about how long it takes you to chug it, it's that you are drinking damn near on a litre of fizzy pop.
That's just... ugh, so much bloody sugar ._.

Water tastes fine, if you corrupt your tastebuds with sugar all day then of course water will taste bad. If ya still don't like water, then tea will do. That's good for you, provided you don't ram it with sugar as well.
Green Tea, Fruit Tea, Herbal Tea, Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey, Assam, Chai... so many delicious flavours to choose from, and yet you choose... sugary.

well of course eating fried foods from anywhere is bad, but I personally would rather eat freshly prepared fried foods rather then the fake processed shit.

There's nothing wrong with water. I cut out soda from my diet last Thanksgiving, replacing it with water. You get used to it real fast and you feel a lot better.

^Pretty much this.

I don't like saying it because it seems like it comes off as pretentious/holier than thou but god damn... Soda is just so fucking bad for you that it's not even funny. It won't kill you if you drink it once in a while, and I mean like once a month tops. But if you drink it more than twice a week, god forbid daily...

I typically drink two bottles of water every time I'm at the gym, but it's just bland. I enjoy flavor and water doesn't give it

When I lived with my mom
she would let me drink 44oz sodas with my large meals, with refills >_>
Looking back it was very sickning.

Ontop of eating out several times a week she also bought soda for home as well. I'm surprised I wasn't obese by 12. I guess my poor luck helped keep the pounds off though.

Water does have a flavour, it's just a lot more subtle.

Drink tapwater from your house, then from another location (Say another state or on the other side of it) and then spring water etc.

They all have different tastes, very subtle ones but it's not bland imo.

Not having a car or home essentially meant lots of walking so I believe that helped mitigate the damage. Living with my dad though I realized how bad it was and I drastically cut back to about 12oz a day then completely quit cold turkey last year. I only drink water now, around 6-7 liters a day an feel a lot better.

Turkey · December 21, 2014, 02:46:31 PM

Water's awesome and if you're active you should drink about 1 gallon per day, but you can completely avoid the sugar in soda by drinking diet. There's zero evidence that artificial sweeteners are bad for you, and the consensus is that they're perfectly fine in all but unrealistically extreme doses.
