Flying Saucers are Square
When i showed the photo above to Louise, she questioned why i was " taking photos of saucy women". Here's a good a reason as any.
As is rather obvious now, Canada has this fast food restaurant called Wendy's. In fact i have seen it at 3 different locations and have not spotted a single Burger King. The identity of Wendy's franchise is their square meat patties. Which from personal experience tastes exactly the same as round plastic. This reminds me very much of curly fries and root beer float of A&W, Burger King's Rendang and Mushroom Swiss burgers and Macdonalds Samurai burger which tricked people to thinking that a sauce is special as long as its not revealed (only problem was that people evolved taste buds around 4 billion years ago).
A recent advertisement of Wendy's triple burger went with this final catchphrase; "Live large, eat large". Can someone explicitly tell me what in the world does 'live large' actually mean? "Live dangerously"? "Live your life to the fullest"? (If this is indeed it, fast food is certainly lamer than anyone expected). "Live on the edge"? , because square patties has more edges than round ones? Indicating that the advertised one has a whopping (mind the pun on Burger King) 3 of these.
Well, probably it was a euphemism for 'since most of the population is suffering obseity, we might as well all continue eating oversized burgers till we die'. But probably not many will realise that the advertisement is poking fun at them anyway (if it is) How can you imagine the insidiousness of a brand picturing a freckled girl called Wendy?

Just a disclaimer that i vehemently reject the nonsensical idea of human evolution from monkeys which stresses my point on the stupidity of having a special sauce in a burger. Although it probably tricked millions to buy it in order to find out what the sauce is.
dropped dead laughing when i read "saucy women"! haha
