Your love/hate for them will be, in my opinion, heavily influenced by your feelings about Bac-os bacon bits. That's 100% of the aftertaste of these, which was okay by me.

Does not compute. Input error.

Wendy's vs. CFA isn't even a race. I hadn't been to Wendy's since CFA entered the KC market until last summer. I got what tasted like a frozen chicken breast from the grocery store (along with a plastic prep glove in the sandwich). CFA sandwiches are a thing of beauty.

Cracker Barrel isn't my bag. My mom loves it but I can't stand it. It's an acquired taste, and I will never acquire it.

Speaking of Pringles, I looked up all of the flavors they had and I have never seen or heard of half them. Grilled Shrimp flavored Pringles?!? I cannot imagine what that would taste like and whether that would be any good.

Cracker Barrel serves breakfast all day. If you can't get behind their pancakes and bacon at the very least, you are a lost puppy.

I've had Freebirds, and Freebirds is shit... IMO.

Amazingly enough, I ate Cracker Barrel for the first time last year (I thought it was some weird Interstate Truck Stop thing for the vast majority of my life) and was floored by it....this oversight in life is probably why I'm ~200lbs vs. ~300lbs today. But yes....I thought they only served breakfast...and frankly, ignorance is bliss, I'm not even going to investigate other meals they may or may not have.

Or an arrow tail coming out of the left one, an arrow head coming out of the right.

Now that I have the big new scar on my abdomen, I like the idea of having "something" coming out of it...but I can't figure out what the something would be. Then I remember that it would tickle a lot to get a tattoo on my belly and I trash the idea completely.

I've wanted to put a zipper on my ankle, it was opened 4 times. But the nerve issues there I think would make my ankle twitch which could cause the needle to go to the wrong place....

I live in the South. My friend tried the whole Chick-Fil-A spicy is better than Wendy's Spicy Chicken when Chick-Fil-A came out with their spicy chicken until I pointed out to him that Chick-Fil-A spicy is basically their regular sandwich dipped in their buffalo sauce where Wendy's spicy actually had specially spices for their Spicy Chicken - it took a few months, but eventually he admitted I was right and Wendy's was better.

(On a further note, how in the world does it take a Southern Chicken place that freaking long to come out with a Spicy Chicken sandwich - another reason Popeyes will always be better)

Following the internal link to the Pacific theater graphic is worthwhile, too... shows just how useful the A-bomb was in breaking the Japanese hold over much of East Asia.

Exceedingly short answer: He was a lil bit nuts.

And once he invaded Russia the Russians weren't going to take any sort of peace deal that resulted in lost territory.
