The year is 2024. The world's food vendors issue a press release indicating that pickles will no longer be included by default inside burgers. How do you react?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

With shock. Who's still buying hamburgers in this economy?

Imagine you're in the 1% not reliant on gruel by that time.

Hmm. Then I'd pay the extra for pickles because I'd be rich.

It's my guilty treat of dubious quality, to be indulged occasionally without Mr P 🤫

This is another example of shrinkflation isn't it? I bet they're not reducing the price, just taking away our pickles!

Or wait, did you mean the default will no longer be inside the burgers, so you can grab them easier to try to stick them to the roof? That seems like a brilliant idea!

It's to streamline pickle racing down the play area windows

I continue to make my own burgers with pickles.
