Hard to realize but when many pluggers were young there were very few ‘fast food’ restaurants, especially outside ‘city’ limits. White Castle started in the 20s but the ‘industry’ didn’t get going until the 50s and 60s. I had my first ‘fries and a Coke’ in college, late 60s. Another one of those ‘normal’ parts of our life that wasn’t always normal.
I drink diet cola because the other stuff tastes too sweet. I like the taste of diet best, not because I’m trying to cut calories. Also sugar is bad for you. lol

Barko is famous for their dog food. But bears like it, too.

Pluggers: Don’t need to go to the Doctor to know that they have High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Heart Disease and Diabetes

And always get the diet drink to offset the calories of the rest of the meal to make it look good they are trying to stay on their diet.

This Plugger goes to fast food restaurants so seldom that I always have to read the menu. It is different every time, I think.

That’s because the plugger can’t read the small print and is stuck only buying what he has in the past. Missing out on all the new flavors.

That diet soft drink says that you care about your health.

You wouldn’t believe how many people I know who place orders like that

And they think the diet soft drink will make the burger and large fries ok.

The Barker combo should already come with fries and a root beer!
Ray over 4 years ago
A diet root beer? That’ll balance out the 5000 calorie combo meal #7 with the large fry upgrade.

A burger, large fries, but a diet root beer? Seems pointless …
