While it doesn't have to be "food", it does have to be edible in the US...

But that aside, burger king used to be good. It used to be decent sized and was almost worth the cost. Now on the other hand, it is so tiny and doesn't feel remotely worth the price.

In my area, they just closed about 5 locations this year, and to be honest, I am only sad about the few people losing their job at these locations.

Burger King has gone so far down hill since 2020.

Everything is edible at least once.

Man that sucks, BK in Toronto is still a nice big burger, and on Whopper Wednesday it's cheap so it's definitely worth it. Shame the US side has gone to shit.

They’re still an absurdly huge burger at every Burger King near me in the US. The suit is alleging they’re smaller than the advertisements. Not sure what OP is talking about but one thing I’ve noticed about BK is they are wildly inconsistent from location to location so it might be even more regional.
