What's your favorite fast-food guilty pleasure and why?

    We all have that go-to item that isn't great for us, but we just must have it sometimes! Since this is a "Fast Foodies" themed trivia event, we want to know what cravings you have in the drive-thru and what drives you to order it.

    I'll go first:

    For me, it's got to be an Oreo McFlurry from McDonalds. Sometimes I need a little sweet treat to curb my sweet tooth and, since there is usually a McDonalds around every corner, I find this an easy score for my craving. Those little crunchy chocolate bites in soft serve are almost too hard for me to resist sometimes.

     

    When I was little, I had a much different love; I would beg my parents to get "Chicken Littles" from KFC, but then they discontinued them and I didn't know what to do with my life. Maybe I was substituting my sadness with the McFlurry, who knows.

     

    Now, your turn…earn your extra three points now!

    I love a Wendy's Chocolate Frosty and their French Fries. Perfect if eaten together! (Don't knock it until you've tried it!)
    Who else has dipped their fries???

    @Nicole Dehn No judgement here! I ate this exact combination after high school classes every day with friends! It's peak salty/sweet goodness! ​

    I confess to doing that, but not for a long while!  If I could tolerate dairy I would likely be dipping today still!

    I'm not much of a fast food eater, but every once in a while if Espresso Oreo is the flavor of the day I'll indulge in a little custard from Culver's (a midwest hot spot). Delish!

    @Emily Kammerer I've been hearing all about this Culver's! Apparently there is one in Raleigh, NC, which is about 2 hrs from me. Perhaps a little sojourn to try this place out?!​

    @Nicole Milliken Might well be! I'm not a burger eater, but their butter burgers are all the rage and you really can't go wrong with the custard. Fun fact: A couple years ago they made an April's Fools Joke about a burger patty made of cheese curds. It drew so much attention they actually made it one day and it sold out in hours, and then they brought it back again this year.

    yep, when it's a cheat day for me, I sure try to get some hands on one of the following:

    Oreo McFlurry or McFloat from McDonalds.

    I love the idea of ice-cream floating on coke equally as I love cookies crushed in ice-creams.

    Which one would you love?


    And Momos (or Dimsums as some people may call it )

    @Alberto Sagredo You can NOT go wrong with Oreos and vanilla ice cream. You just can't! If I'm in Spain, I'll be getting one of these, so thanks for the suggestion :)​

    To feel good, I need Food as my life Mantra and especially for the fast-food lover like me, is not a surprising thing. Once in a while, I love doing F3, particularly fast-food feasts. For me, Street food is equal to a good mood, that's my guilty pleasure

    As soon as they sold Chicken Nuggets Transformers to me as a kid, I was hooked.  So, McDonald's "Executive Meals," aka Happy Meals, are my go-to with exxxtra Sweet & Sour Sauce or just throw the whole thing out.  If the fries are a bit soggy, my day is made!

    @Misty Mitchell-Arizpe Did you know that McDonald's is the largest distributor of toys in the world, because of their Happy Meals?! I was so surprised to learn that while doing my trivia research for this event! ​

    One of my favorite guilty pleasures is the irony of watching Top Chef while eating fast food or takeout. I honestly don't care where the food is from. In my life, I've loved it all! But Top Chef is mandatory to complete the experience. 

    I do have some surprise fast food recommendations:

    1) The hash browns at Dunk'n Donuts. TRUST ME.
    2) The garlic knots at Domino's Pizza. They are soaked in butter and garlic and when fresh they taste almost like donut holes. So. Good.
    3) The wings at Papa John's pizza. I now this is a weird callout, but of the pizza chains, these wings are my favorite. I won't lie, they are a little odd (almost taste like they were slow cooked), but I like their buffalo sauce.

    Happy appetites, everyone!

    There is just something about the tacos at Jack-in-the-box that keeps me coming back for more. Throw in some curly fries and a diet Dr Pepper and call it a meal!  :)

    I have a combo A&W / KFC restaurant near me with a McDonald's in-between home. So....

    1) Grab the fried cheese curds from A&W.

    2) Snag gravy from KFC.

    3) Pick up fries from McDonald's.

    Bring home and you have fast food poutine.

    What you just said genuinely blew my mind, but the KFCs in North Carolina are typically connected with a Taco Bell. So...I may need to make a fiesta potato or queadilla variation. Either way, a tip of the hat to you, good sir.
