BK joins slider rage

Late post this week... but I can pass along a good review of Burger King's new Burger Shots, their cutesy-name-that-doesn't-work for their new slider mini-burgers. Not sure how mini-burgers came to be called sliders, but Burger King needed to stick with that name.

Regardless of all that, they're tasty, nice little snack, and I don't really like burgers that much. A nice price for two, $1.39 (or $1.69 for cheese). Can't find any news of the new item at burgerking.com, which is much too clumsy to operate.

In other Burger King opinions, does anyone find their fries to be better than McDonald's? They're usually served hotter. Nothing is more of a downer than getting the "dud fries," the last of the batch, and I've had duds from Burger King just as often as from McDonald's. But I'm just curious as to if anyone else chooses Burger King when it comes to who has the better fries.

I think they are called sliders because they are so greasy and small that you pop them in your mouth and they just slide down your throat. Appetizing, right?

No other fast food restaurant beats McDonald's fries.

'Nuff said.

Maybe I just hit BK a few good times in a row, and kept getting a fresh batch of fries each time. The fries from Burger King are usually hotter, for sure. How about this... do you prefer the Burger King salt or the McDonald's salt? There's definitely a difference.

a burger is not called a slider because of it's size but because of how it's made...a mini-burger is not a slider, nor can a burger that has been "flame-broiled" be called a slider either...see also:
