I'm mainly just surprised that Heroclix is not only still a thing, it apparently has a community that come together to discuss fast food and (presumably) play the game. Huh.
So I googled this (wondering if Heroclix could be acquired from kids meals or something) and found a lovely conversation from 2003. Names removed to protect the... well,
relevant XKCD:
i'm not sure how many there are out there but Chick-fil-a is the abouslute shiznit
Never heard of it! What type of food do they serve?
Historical records like this are one reason I haven't pressed the kill switch on my own posting history, warts and all. Even to curate my cringiest old posts is to delete a part of myself from the historical record.
Not that this thread is cringe, just fascinating to me. It's mostly laughing at McDonalds for their awful burgers, a connection bridging decades. They're also right that the fries are relatively good. I wonder if, like me, they'd harbor a shameful craving for the breakfast offerings? Could they have imagined 24-hour breakfast? In my defense, I think I become enamored with fast foods I eat while wrestling with anxiety, such as early drives. Or cheap burritos on a 4-hour trip.
I digress. Trawling old forum posts can be a lot of fun. My old friend group used to share quotes from the Compuserve forum for a laugh. I think... aw, no, looks like they shut down in 2017. So they were live for some of the time we were looking, and yet the atmosphere was still very 90's-00's. Good times.
