This is what somebody with no soul sounds like.
… I was excited by the mere prospect of sober Chik-Fil-A consumption (I’d had it a couple times while drunk in Florida).
I went to the mall, ordered the chicken sandwich combo, took a seat, took a bite. It’s a chicken sandwich with pickles. That’s it. There is absolutely nothing special about it whatsoever. It’s a bit dry, actually. A bit stale. The breading was KFC-level mediocre.
“KFC-level”? This aggression will not stand, man.
Secession was wrong and so is this:
Also, congrats, SEC fans: In your reflexive need to react against carpetbagger Yankees with torches and pitchforks, you just inadvertently stuck up for the BCS and placed Jim Delany — JIM DELANY, PEOPLE — on the side of Dan Wetzel and the other BCS antagonists. He might be the defender of the Rose Bowl, but you have become the defenders of a status quo that everyone uniformly hates.
We’re the defenders of the status quo? You must have us confused with somebody else.

The solution is simple: continue to beat the crap out of every team the B1G puts up in bowl (especially MNC) competition (minus the cheaters) and let them talk their obnoxious, South-hating, non-Chick-fil-A-appreciating mouths off.

These days I live in the DFW area and the Chick-Fil-A’s here are kind of sad. The water is too hard to really appreciate the tea (imagine Florida tea x 2). The fries are soggier. The sandwich is drier. And it’s not just a particular store. It’s all of the ones I’ve been to here. Maybe Chick-Fil-A is just inferior outside of the south? Maybe Truett Cathy needs to do a tour of the midwest, find the franchise owners, and slap their mommas in the mouth? Whatever the cause, I don’t have the burning desire to eat Chick-Fil-A at least once per week like I did when I lived in Georgia and that’s a real shame.
LikeLike
The sandwiches probably have to do with the fact that CFA stealthily removed a large amount of sodium from them a few years back, and the fries are a little different now that they’re cooked in canola oil instead of peanut oil.
The water though, that’s just Texas.

Not only is football better in the south, but so is our food, Chic-fil-A didn’t invent chicken just the chicken sandwich. The north just gets upset when its proven time and time again that the south is better. They know its better too otherwise they wouldn’t come down here on vacation. There is a reason why Walt Disney didn’t build the happiest place on earth in Akron, Ohio. Thats the reason why all the yankee retirees retire to Florida. They don’t even want to stay up there. So for all the yankees that read this I leave you with this: Why do all the pine trees in Georgia tend to lean towards the North?……..cause Ohio SUCKS!

The comments section following that misguided screed are hilarious. There’s nothing like being thought of as an ignorant redneck by some beefy, cornfed Iowa farmhand to put a little extra spring in a southern boy’s step. Even Macon is Paris compared to centers of enlightenment like Dubuque or Cedar Rapids.
They’re all welcome to stay amongst the corn husks and the cowpies in Iowa and look down their overalls at us, while those of us lucky enough to be down here in God’s country will go right on enjoying sweet tea, chik-fil-a sandwiches, and the most kick ass college football played anywhere in these here United States of America. You Micheal Moore resembling midwestern crybabies go right ahead doing things your way (loving Slowhio State football, 3 month old snowdrifts and scrapple) and us ignorant Southern folk will go right ahead doing things the right way (winning BCS titles, sunshine and cornbread with pork cracklins).
