We scoured campaign finance reports to reveal strikingly partisan preferences for various restaurants, with few more polarizing than McDonald’s.

There's a ton of data in the article and I found that to be annoying. I just want the stuff that's silly or amusing.

    Is this why taco bell won the fast food wars? A transcendence above sectarianist in-fighting? Enlightened centrism?

      Taco bell’s bean burrito is the sloppiest, most delicious treat of all. It must cost like 20 dollars now but I remember it hitting the spot

        Honestly I've been spoiled with my experience with authentic Mexican burritos to the point taco bell tasted like Ash and salt i had to choke down the one time I got it on lunch break.

        I was actually sorta sad because I still had nostalgia for that dog slop stemming from my teenage night time antics years.

          Haven’t had Taco Bell slop in a while but honestly, burritos are so underrepresented in Mex, TexMex, CaliMex cuisines at least in the states, which would otherwise have other amazing dishes, that I’m sure a drunken night will have you gladly savoring one of those barfdogs

    Your headline made me think they were spending to advertise or do events at different fast food joints

    Her colleague tweeted in reply: “If one of the 535 people who run our legislature is gonna spend thousands of dollars at a barbecue place I’ve never heard of, you better believe I’m gonna go to there.”

    I assume it might be related to the political party of the owners or franchisees? I remember there was that ice cream company that people like Pelosi were really promoting and the owners were Democrats I think.

    I had to come back to this thread because my poisoned brain imagined Trump dancing to Rock N Roll McDonalds at a campaign event
