Plus there's one small detail: you can still enjoy e.g. a pizza that's not hot anymore; other food (Indian, Chinese, ...) can mostly be kept hot without losing its quality. With burgers and fries (especially McDonalds), you have to eat them hot, and trying to keep them warm during delivery results in a soggy mess that's not enjoyable at all anymore IMHO.
- Kye 4y agoI used to think this with burgers until I found the secret to reheating a fast food burger: 1: set the veggies aside 2: put the whole burger in the microwave upside-down for half the time it takes to reheat (usually 30 seconds for this step if cold from the fridge) 3: flip it and nuke it the rest of the time 4: restore veggies to rightful place I was amazed the first time I did this and had a 100% sog-free bun. The burger was indistinguishable from fresh. I don't know exactly what's going on, or what's different from just nuking it all the way on one side, but it works.
- Karunamon 4y agoThere is something about McDonald's fries that gives them the sharpest drop off in quality over time compared to literally any other fast food restaurant. I swear, it's like they are 100% within a couple minutes of being pulled out of the oil, merely okay for the next three, and then literally inedible by six minutes.
- thrusong 4y agoIt's true— McDonald's will toss any leftover fries from the fry station after seven minutes. Burger King has a similar timeline.
