This is just a beta leak of the next logical extension of Google Street View, the soon to be announced Google Menu View. No longer will you have to actually go into a particular fast food joint to see what's good to eat, you'll just be able to browse actual selections in their glass displays and choose wisely.
For example, in an unpublished shot from this series, the potato wedges were looking awfully dried out, letting savvy eaters know to skip them in favor of the corn cob-ettes.
@oojoo: This was, for many years, an epic match-up. But DD is past its prime.
Ever since DD started looking the other way when it came to the freshness of the donuts and the watered-downness of the coffee, they've become the Evander Holyfield of fastfood combat. An aging former champion, past its prime but unwilling to let go, still aching to enter new arenas, when everyone knows it's a bad idea. These days, they do nothing but bring B-R down and get out-reviewed by Tim Hortons, even here in NYC.
I never thought I'd see the day when 92BLS sides with the Canadians. Especially on something like donuts. Donuts are not only American; they are yet another wonderous foodstuff that The Empire State gave to the world. Better than beignets, more amazing than zeppoli, donuts have their roots in New York's past. (see Washington Irving's "History of New York", 1809)
And here you are, siding with the Canadians. I'm grateful that you weren't around to take sides with the Canucks 250 years ago during the French and Indian War.
To prefer Canadian - on donuts, no less! I... I don't even know who you are anymore.
I have yet to set foot in a Tim Hortons. I will make my own donuts like Paula Deen. I will track down the last Winchell's. I will resurrect the NYC Krispy Kreme. I will not eat the over-hyped Donut Planet donut, but I will gorge on Entenmann's Pop'ems, all before I support the Canadians in anything.
My point was that DD has fallen so far, sunk so low, that American newspapers are praising a Canadian chain's donuts, here in NYC! This is not in praise of Tim Hortons, but to bury DD.
I think, by this point, it should be understood that I do not, could not, would not, dare not, never would, never could actually support such a chain with my own American dollars.
@92BuickLeSabre: And Pibb has a fruitier, more concentrated and centered taste. Personally, I prefer Pibb to Pepper when Red Vines are available. Red Vine straws to sip Pibb is a wonderful joy.
Sure, Dr Pepper is more educated than Mr. Pibb, but Mr. Pibb is more in touch with the common man. Pibb doesn't need fancy appellations. He's just Pibb.
Go eat your Canadian "Bacon", you turncoat Canuck-lover.
@OMG! Ponies!: Mr. Pibb's "common-man" act is just that. An act. He's a clone, a cyborg, created in the labs of one of the world's largest multi-national corporations, for the sole purpose of destroying the good Doctor.
Dr. Pepper, however, is a true, dyed-in-the-wool, small town Doc from Waco TX. A throwback to the days of soda fountains and prescription flavored syrups.
You can keep your freak of science and capitalist excess. I'm going to stick to my old-timey doctor.
@OMG! Ponies!: Your swift-boating attacks on my long-standing history of anti-Canadianism (where were you when I was founding N'Oh Canada back in 1995?) may succeed in influencing the perceptions of the masses, but it won't help you and your Terminator soda sleep at night.
@92BuickLeSabre: Don't you question my love of good old-fashioned American junk food. I enjoyed a plate of brown eggs and real, thick-cut Smithfield bacon for breakfast. I don't think it's surprised you have a fondness for Dr Pepper.
Especially given that he spells it without the period. LIKE A CANADIAN.
@OMG! Ponies!: It's not even the spelling, you just mangled the use of it. We don't just jam it into a sentence at random, there are colloquial grammatical rules for it. :P
You know what Bacon and Eggs is also known as? British Breakfast. Or Scottish Breakfast. Or Welsh Breakfast. Huh, what country not listed has the closest relationship with that part of the world. I wonder. Is it America? No, I don't think so, we don't put the Queen on our money. Oh, I remember now. Canada.
@92BuickLeSabre: No. Bacon and eggs is a good old-fashioned American breakfast. If I had tea, along with biscuits, sausages, boiled potatoes, hash, scones, and porridge, along with the bacon and eggs, then it would be a British breakfast.
But even my Hobbit gullet can't eat that much at one breakfast.
@92BuickLeSabre: What question? I was pointing out his misuse... I was born on Vancouver Island, I live in Edmonton now, I assure you am I familiar with the use of the term.
Can it tell you how to get to an Apple/AT&T store that has the iPhone in stock so that you can ease your suffering at not owning a JesusPhone the Second Coming?

Who can resist the siren calls of KFC when it has been nefariously combined with the awesome power of A&W. I submit to you that no one can.
No. One.

That would be the ultimate soda fountain.

BR/DD vs AW/KFC deathmatch !!!

The only thing Mr. Pibb brings to the table, under its Coke umbrella, is the The Fantanas.

Easy match. AW/KFC wins. Round two, they go up against Tim Hortons/Coldstone Creamery.

Nothing.
Just four cups of coffee.
Like a real American.
