    Robert Downey Jr. credits Burger King's nasty food as helping him kick the habit....

    http://blog.newsarama.com/2008/10/08...on-man-anyway/

    The fast food epiphany happened in 2003 when the “Iron Man” star was driving a car piled with “tons of f—ing dope,” Downey Jr. told Britain’s Empire magazine. The actor decided to pull over for a burger and everything changed.

    “I have to thank Burger King,” he said. “It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen.” Downey Jr. says he then tossed all of his drugs into the ocean, deciding right then and there to clean up his act.
    amusing story. Good for him.

    Heh.

    Isn't that what Tony gets in the Iron Man movie?

    Weird, this was being discussed here as well: http://www.606studios.com/bendisboar...d.php?t=163260, but the article he links is from June.

    Talked about this yesterday.

    I still can't eat Burger King burgers. I shift managed at one, and as shift manager, you have to learn how to do everything, so one night I worked with the overnight cleaner guy... and scraped all the fat and grease drippings off of the broiler pan.

    It was a lot.
    Why do you still have signatures turned on?

    I loved the Burger King burgers I ate in Thailand!!

    But then again... the burgers here are extremely pathetic.

    I worked at a place that made burgers in high school. Part of my nightly clean up duty was to clean the inserts that went into the overhead exhaust by spraying them out with hot water. Yeah... I never liked doing that because it was so nasty. Thanks for reminding me of that. Jerk...

    Yeah, those burgers are shitty there. The only thing I get from burger king is that oval chicken sandwich. Anything else is just nasty. The cheapest burger I will consume would be Wendy's.
