You gotta be kidding me. The bigntasty tastes horrible. I cant quite describe it, but the "meat" in the bigntasty doesnt quite taste as good as the "meat" in the dbl cheeseburger. Oh, and the whopper is better than both of them.

I don't know about horrible, I think the Big'N'Tasty doesn't taste all that bad, but I don't think it tastes like real meat, like you'd find in a flame-broiled (do they still actually do that?) burger. I think McD's got some deal on wholesale vegetarian patties or something, and is selling them off. This coming from someone who has fairly extensive experience eating vegitarian patties, having lived for two years with a vegan couple.
As for the $0.99 Whoppers, damn, now I'm mad. I was just at BK last night, and we ordered two double-cheeseburgers (they used to be on sale for $0.99), and a Grilled Sourdough (I love those, they are still $0.99), and the guy quoted us a price of $7.00-and-something. Wtf? So we asked if the double-cheese were $0.99 (no), but he said something about Whopper Jr. being the same price, so my friend ordered two of those instead. So $3.78 for the total, and when we finally get to the window, he "lost" the grilled sourdough, so that was $1.04 more. But they already made one, it was in the back.. figure that one out. Still not sure how the two Whopper Jr.'s came out to $3.78. Maybe the whopper was on sale, but he didn't say that. For the price, the Whopper Jr.'s should have had cheese on them, but they didn't.
I dunno. That local BK's is staffed by stupid Brazilians that don't speak english. It's a wonder anyone can order anything correctly from there. The Wendy's in that town isn't much better, one time we had to go through the drive-through *three* times, because they couldn't get anything right. Instead of people speaking their orders, there should be a laser-pointer attached to the display sign, and you just point+click your way through the menu, and when it is complete to your satisfaction (with a display screen for your order), you click "OK", and then drive through to pay.
I usually go to the BK's in the mall myself, it is staffed by annoying (but sometimes hot) teenagers, who can actually speak and understand english. It's amazing what a difference in service that makes. I think it should be required for employment in the USofA.
(Please note that I didn't say that all people from Brasil are stupid or cannot speak english, only that the ones that work at the local fast-food joints. Please don't mis-understand.)
