Why do people buy Rustlers microwave burgers?

[estebanrey]

Oh god, man up. It's just a bad burger, not a pile of dog ****. You're as bad as the people who say McDonald's makes them feel physically sick, like it's the worst thing ever. Way to over exaggerate.

I eat them because I'm a poor student. No, I'm not dead. No, I'm not fat. No, I haven't thrown up because of the apparent awful taste which is worse than any other taste in the WHOLE world!

Don't worry it's just food snobbery. Apparently it's "cool" to hate fast food and only live on lentils and hummus in GD.

There's a lot of "my body is a temple" types on here. Fact is, when it's 2 a.m and you've been drinking all evening you'll find them in KFC with the rest of us.

Ate a couple of them when I was younger, The most recent one I had was around a year ago, The burger was white after I microwaved it, needless to say I didn't eat it or buy another, I will never buy another again either.

Stick to drinking spring water.

Just to be clear, I'm not a food snob, I abuse my body because I am an utter clot, and I do love a take-away from time to time, and if I could do so without damaging my health, I would have them more often!

But that burger was several magnitudes worse than any take-away food I have eaten, including kebabs from the most dodgy looking of kebab shops.

As I said above, they termed it a likely significant contributer.

It's depressing that it's a great epiphany to someone that treating your body like dirt will have consequences, who would have thought, it's such an unremarkable thing after all..

Lots of high horses here. I don't mind a rustlers now and then, but only buy them when they're a pound, and eat them out of sheer convenience or tiredness, particularly after a 12 hour night shift. Everything in moderation as they say.

I can't eat KFC though, messes with my stomach. Annoying too, I used to love KFC.

That said, I used to eat almost exclusively junk food and was becoming quite the porker. I've since been watching what I eat for the most part and that coupled with some exercise made me feel considerably healthier.


Still a fatty, I'm a work in progress

Rustlers quarter pounders are something I love. Though I only put the bread in the microwave for around 15 seconds, just to warm them up slightly.

EDIT: As above, I also only purchase them when they're half price

 

[neoboy]

Awful little things but I can confidently say I've eaten worse in an hour of need!

 

[Cosimo]

I'm happy to admit that I've never had a Rustlers microwave and god willing never have one pass my lips.

 

[Sliver]

I've had one. I was drunk at the time and it still tasted like Satan's anus. Never again.

Why do people buy Rustlers microwave burger?

... because they're stupid, lazy have no taste, and have no understanding of what good food is.

 

[Kosmiche]

Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein

 

[Andelusion]

Never had one, never will. Are they a pound? I genuinely think you could make a homemade burger and loaf for the same amount.

Bit harsh. The food might be crap, but we all eat crap sometimes.

Okay that's fair, but perhaps I was stereotyping with those that eat this sort of rubbish regularly.

It's fair, I have a pizza once a month or so, and do go out for a nice Byron burger from time to time, so as you say even I am guilty of eating poor foods.

However if you're going to eat poor quality food, at least make it enjoyable!

 

[Philtor]

Deffo the way to go with a Rustlers. I dont mind the aberdeen angus one if you toast the bun and add an extra layer of processed cheese on top.

Was going to say the same!

Only tend to eat this sort of stuff when I have been out on the lash and can't be bothered to cook something decent mind.

There's food that isn't the best, and then there's things like these which are just hideous.

I can't decide what's worse, these Rustlers or those pies in a tin.

 

[Freefaller]

Well we need to give the poor people something to be decadent about!

 

[FortuitousFluke]

Used to eat them quite a bit when I was a student, it was a convenience thing, too many students, not enough cookers.

I seem to remember the hotdogs were significantly less crap than the burgers, don't imagine I'd much like the taste these days though, people evolve.

lol. Wasn't it Marie Antoinette who supposedly said 'Let them eat cake' ? She was beheaded. Never mock the poor for they shall inherit the earth !
