I knew I wouldn’t like or even understand the McRib, and was content to go the rest of my life without tasting one.
Curiosity really is one of the greatest aspects of the human mind and the worst.

I felt so hollow afterwards that it was as if my stomach had shifted entirely outside my body, as though my abdominal cavity was rejecting it in shame. This was a terrible thing to have eaten and I had no real excuse to do so. It contained no nutritional value whatsoever and unlike the questionable tacos and other junk food fare I occasionally consume, it didn’t even have the benefit of being so delicious as to excuse its negligible health benefits.
For me, binging and eating copious amounts of food is a very shameful thing and I often feel alone in my bad habits, and I love when people open up about fast food habits. It has no benefit and causes harm to the food, health, and meat industries, and yet I can't help myself.

You have enough McRibs here to tack them on like apple pies? I wanted to yell back at her. Send them to the other McDonald’s so people don’t have to waste $20 worth of gas driving around town like pork-crazed assholes trying to find them!
I actually work at a McDonald's and we are constantly told to push things onto customers when honestly, I think its awkward and a waste of time. If someone asks, I am of course willing to help! It's just fast food is so awkward and there are so many INTERESTING people you will meet.

Along with a keen sense of irritation, my curiosity was growing still stronger. If the stupid sandwiches are sold out everywhere, they must be at least decent — right? People couldn’t be buying out the sandwiches if they tasted like Ol’ Roy.
The other day I decided to try the Wendy's pretzel pub sandwich, which was 12 for a meal, not my proudest moment. And I was determined to try it and made my friend drive me there and wait in the excruciatingly long line. It tasted horribly! Then at some point, I realized how sloppy and unhealthy it is. The next day I went to the doctor and was told I need a cholesterol test...I am only 17.

Fast food and I have a strained relationship as it is except for a few soft spots: McDonald’s coffee, Whataburger taquitos, Jack in the Box tacos at 1 a.m.
Since I'm pretty young and broke, I too have a strained relationship with fast food, just like most Americans. On one hand, it's easily accessible, somewhat affordable, and very comforting, but on the other hand its greasy, unhealthy, and societally has a negative connotation.
