Sodboy13 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I could go for some Hardee's, but only because there's none anywhere near here, save for one on the Indiana Toll Road. Totally the novelty/scarcity factor. I bet if I went out and got some, though, it would be just awful.

dbadefense1990 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Phoenix, Nashville, and Florida have this weird triumvirate of really obnoxious power play announcements where they make a big deal out of saying "POWER PLAAAAYYY!!!!!" and sometimes the crowd joins in and then kind of politely applauds itself for successfully saying "power play" together. This must be like when p.a. announcers for NBA games would say "TRAAAA-VELIIIIIINNG!!!!! 'Traveling' is when you don't dribble the ball" or whatever it was.This Nashville Predators Powerplay is brought to you by Hardee's!Not as bad as the Kings:"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a DISC Sports and Spine power play!"

I just love the idea of sponsored powerplays. But yes the Kings one is hilariously bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Where would you rank it, as far as national mass-market fast food goes? I mean, Burger King is just the worst, McDonald's is pretty decent, Wendy's is fairly good, and White Castle is kind of a special case unto itself.Side note: I got Subway for lunch today, because my mom gave us a couple of $5 gift cards as stocking stuffers. I had a bite of roast beef that tasted vaguely of fish, which differed from all the others that just tasted of unspecified animal protein. God, that place is a sandwich atrocity.

BBTV Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Flyers have the "PECO Powerplay", which makes at least a little sense since PECO (Philadelphia Electric COmpany) is a power company.

ninersdd Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I used to love Carls Jr and their Spicy Chickens, but I always felt sick to my stomach the next morning and had to take dumps. I eat a lot of Taco Bell and other restaurants, yet I haven't felt that bad afterwards.

The_Admiral Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I've had mostly good experiences with Subway. Spicy Italian with pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, pepperoncini, giardiniera, oregano, sweet onion sauce, I mean any meat ambiguity is masked by the peck of pickled peppers I put on it, so really it all works out fine.Portillo's is the best, if that counts. Culver's is probably the next best, but too expensive for what it is, and I never come away from the food itself like "I'm really satisfied with having eaten that." The frozen custard is good, though. I like Beef-a-Roo when I'm in the beautiful Rock River Valley.I don't go to any other fast food chains.

STL FANATIC Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 A hockey thread that's gone on a tangent about fast food? Don't mind if I do...Hardee's is really good, quality food for fast food. If you want a burger (and you're not specifically in the mood for a White Castle slider or a McDonald's patty) or chicken strips, I'd suggest Hardee's. I don't go that often, but it's good when I do. Now, their Red Burrito menu is just whatever. It's not awful, but it's not really a big draw for me.I'm not particularly picky, though. I enjoy all of Jack In The Box, McDonalds, Hardee's, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, and Wendy's. Should put Culver's in the mix too.Arby's has some okay stuff, but now that I live back in St. Louis, I'll rarely if ever eat there again. Not with Lion's Choice being an option. Someday they'll expand beyond St. Louis and the world will be forever grateful.And I specifically don't understand the BK hate. They're not amazing. Seems like all their new ideas are copies of someone else's, and sometimes they're not as good, but when I ate fast food more frequently and needed a change of pace, I was never against going there.I'll mention Chick-fil-a and say the food is good, but I'm one of those that has stopped eating there since the anti-gay equality views were expressed by their owners. And hey, I don't eat Little Caesar's because Illitch owns them and the Red Wings (and the Tigers—not that I care), so I'm consistent on discontinuing my patronage once I discover I'm unhappy with the parent company/owner. (Not that I'm remotely comparing the two issues.)When I lived down in Alabama, I enjoyed Zaxby's chicken on occasion.For sandwich shop, I'm not a big fan in general. Subway is ok. Jimmy John's is ok. Now that I've discovered the more gourmet style sandwiches from JJ's, I give them a little more business. Plus they deliver and have drive thru's sometimes.And if you're putting that build-your-own sandwich style place in fast food, do Chipotle, Moe's and Qdoba make the conversation too? If so, I like them all but in reverse order. Love Qdoba, Moe's is good, and Chipotle is better than I give them credit for (I think I'm just being a rebel—everyone goes nuts over them).And I think I'll cut off my fast food analysis there.

I still don't get why a monopoly needs to advertise. The craziest sponsorship I've seen was at a Blues game during intermission. They bring the house lights, scoreboard, LED screens, and sound down to make it seem like a power outage. Then they start playing "I've got the power" by Snap and then everything comes back up and there is a commercial for Peabody Energy (a coal company). Scared the crap out of me first time I was there for it. Sometimes I am convinced the Scottrade Center only has music from the day it opened in 1994. (90s Jock Jams songs).

The_Admiral Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 The Blues have more organ than most arenas do, most shamefully Chicago and Detroit, so kudos to them for that aspect of their in-game production.

Lee. Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ahh, I still have memories of Vi Komak and the old yamaha organ singing the anthems at WHA era Jets games. Then Chantal Kreviazuk and her two talents in the NHL. Then the singer of Jenerator, I forget her name, but she showed me her boobs one time at Diamond Club in exchange for a rye and diet.Carry on.
