I wish there were more Tim Hortons here. There used to be one near me in RI but it wasn't open very long. -- nm - kelly Aug 25, 06:13 9
- Sub-poll #2: Which (BK or TH) is closer to where you live? To where you work? -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:14 8
  - BK a mile away....TH is a mythical fable you cruel bastards tease me with, like parents do with santa clause -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 25, 20:16
  - I doubt there is a TH within 500 miles of us. There is a BK right down the street. -- nm - David Aug 25, 06:56
  - Live and work - I've never been to a Tim Hortons -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 06:30
  - There are one of each at the mall across the street, but there are way more Tim's around here.... - Walt_Disney Aug 25, 06:29
  - BK for both, only TH in the area is at the stadiums. -- nm - znufrii Aug 25, 06:21
  - TH for both. There's only one BK in town. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:19
  - Its actually TH for me -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:16
  - BK -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:15
this is all over the news here - and everyone I know had the same reaction - "I can't believe BK is worth more than Tim Hortons"\ - Andie Aug 25, 06:08 24
- There is a BK in Square One across the street but I cant think of too many others around. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 25, 06:27
- This phenomenon is known as Pauline Kael Syndrome. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 25, 06:14
- Also if this is a subpoll: I ate at BK outside of Tulsa yesterday. -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:12 20
  - I can't recall the last time -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 06:31
  - i haven't eaten at a Burger King in, easily, a decade. -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 06:13 18
    - I hit a local one up probably once a week. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 06:21
    - I prefer their burger to McDonald's, if I had to choose. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:14 12
      - I'm inclined to agree. I occasionally have a pair of double cheeseburgers for lunch. - David Aug 25, 06:55
      - DQ is the best though. Their double cheeseburgers are perfection. The Flame Thrower is also glorious. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:18 10
        
        I've never been to a DQ but I'll keep that in mind. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:24 9
        
        Like ever? So you have never had a Blizzard? -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:31 4
        
        The number of chains not available in NYC has dwindled greatly over the years, but there are still some - ty97 Aug 25, 06:37 2
        
        For sure. I've never even seen a Cracker Barrel or places like that. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:43 1
        
        There is basically a Cracker Barrel every five miles in the south. -- nm - David Aug 25, 06:54
        
        Nope. Until recently the only DQ was far out in Queens near the border with Long Island. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:35
        
        One just opened on 14th St I think. - ty97 Aug 25, 06:26 3
        
        If I'm near it I might stop in but I rarely if ever eat any fast food. - Krusty Aug 25, 06:36 2
        
        Skip the food, get a Blizzard. -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:38 1
        
        this -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 06:48
    - The exit we got gas at had two options: BK and Arby's -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:14 3
      - (The BK fries were either surprisingly good or we were famished) -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:15 2
        
        You were famished. You should have ordered the BK burger and gone next door to the Arby's for curly fries - oblique Aug 25, 06:20 1
        
        This wasn't a site-seeing tour! -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:22
- Over 13,000 Burger Kings in 79 countries. (Looks like around 4500 Tim H in a few countries) -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:11
