For those of you who've never had a White Castle hamburger, you don't know what you're missing. First of all, they're very small. You've got to eat at least a half-dozen of them just to be satisfied. Their age old slogan is "buy 'em by the sack." It also helps if you chase them with fries and onion rings.

The patties have five holes in them, like the dots on a die. They're steam grilled on a bed of sliced and diced bits of onion. Then they put the little patty on a little bun and cover it with the afore mentioned onion bits, ketchup, and a ruffle sliced pickle. I usually tell them to hold the pickle, though sometimes the bozos working there put the pickle on anyway. I also notice that latlely they've been skimping on the ketchup, and even sometimes the onion bits. Of course, it depends on which location you go to.

The most remarkable thing about these little Murder Burgers (aka Belly Bombers) is that they stay with you for a few days, especially the onion part. White Castle used to have a slogan "The Taste Some People Can't Live Without". The weren't kidding. After you've had a sack of 'em, you can't get away from the taste...or the smell. Every time you burp, you'll taste those onions. And the rest of you're bodily functions will smell like onions, too.

Ah, but it's worth it.

You forgot to tell them that White Castle is open 24/7 and that the best time to go is in the middle of the night.
Nothing like hangin out with the freaks and weirdos at the local White Castle at three in the morning after a bender. Two dozen or so sliders, and a debate between the purple-spike-mohawk and the dirty shirtless man about why world has gone to hell, you start to sober up.

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!

Alright people! Grow up! It's a freaking commercial. There are things on TV so much worse than the Quizno's sponge monkeys. I personally, and everyone else I've talked to find the commercial hilarious.

I agree, if by "hilarious" you mean "annoying" or possibly "gives me the urge to find a gun and shoot the TV."

Interesting that this topic has brought so many anon posts. However, I must admit that I have been swayed by their eloquent arguments. I must now concur with their stated opinions and say

All you guys and stuff need to get over yerselfes and stuff and duh.

Excellent - now if it was just set to music and it somehow opposed Bush's campaign...

Yeah, because only someone with the brains of a Spongemonkey would vote for Kerry. :P

The Spongemonkeys were for Bush before they were against him.

OK, I hate McDonalds as much as the next guy, but White Castle makes the crap McDonalds sells look like gourmet hamburgers.

What they do is take a bun made of the lowest quality dough they could find (it's actually a dinner roll), add a paper thin slice of what I can only guess is beef, and top it off with not only ONE pickle, but also a whole squirt of ketchup! Maybe they have diced onions too. Whatever.
They seem to be all made ahead of time and frozen so that they can be microwaved. Maybe Rip Tanion's right and they're "steam grilled".
They might as well be microwaved, though.
If you've ever had the microwavable WhiteCastle burgers from the grocery store and wondered what the real thing is like, they're the exact same thing.

White Castle is the purest form of assembly-line food there is.

I'd have to disagree with just one point: The microwave White Castles have a 60 second halflife before the deflate and turn hard.

There is NOTHING like the taste of 4 or 5 White Castle hamburgers after waiting in the drive-through line for 45 minutes. Get a sack of onion chips while you're there.

Babblmonkeys...

Post by Leibach »

All you ridiculous people, with your high society art talk, make me sick. I can just imagine a room full of Janeane Garofalo's babbling about the true meaning of "Art" in modern society when I read most of these posts. You consider someone "selling out" because they expose their art to the world by way of corporate sponsorship? Get a life. I bet any one of you would cash a check if it had enough 0's on it, even if your so-called ART was just two blobs of paint on paper smeared by flabby and pale buttcheeks. You are all merchandise and the phrase of the day is "I'd buy that for a dollar!" because that's what most of your crap is worth. The Spongmonkeys own you all and jealousy reigns supreme to those who lack the creativity. Apply your makeup and don your party hats because the Evil Crab Party has just begun. Spongmonkeys are the new California Raisins, bitches. :evil:
