originally I wasn't going to make this video but this is going to be the start at least of
a two video series but it might be longer this might be as long as it
takes I was having some dinner tonight I decided to get something from Culver Culver is one of
those establishments I should add at least prefacing this this is this is what started
at all Culver is one of those establishments that has always been regarded as being yeah it's fast
food but it's generally a little higher quality it's supposed to be at least a little bit better
as far as the again the quality of everything the consistency the service all of the above
it's just supposed to be a little better I got a burger with bacon pretty standard right I got it
and it was disgusting and obviously this wasn't for review this is just for me to eat and it was
awful it was it was really bad there were multiple problems with it it was overly salty it tasted
just off you know it was one of those times where the item just there's something wrong about it it
just doesn't taste right it's like one of those things where it's like you're taking a bite and
you're even wondering am I going to get sick from this I ordered it with no cheese but the thing had
like six slices of cheese melted on it and with all of that it just made me wonder number one how
did it get messed up that bad number two there seemed to be something more to it than just oh
they just messed the order up you know just taste it off there were so many things weird about it
and this is from Culver this is again supposed to be an establishment that's supposed to be a
higher tier fast food chain and I hate to say it this isn't the first time I've noticed this
either Culver's gred has still been a little bit better but this has been happening more
and more even with them instances not as bad as this but where there have been problems with my
order with the quality it's just elapsing more and more and it's not just Culver it's every
place McDonald's Burger King Wendy's Taco Bell you name it they're been so many places and I'm
sure you've noticed this that I've reviewed in the last couple years where the food has just
been awful it's quite frankly disgusting and I I hate when this happens and what bothers me
even more is when it's becoming more and more of the norm when I'm trying out these sorts of
items and time and again it's some burnt piece of garbage it's some just vile slop for lack of
a better word and it's getting to the point now where pretty much every other item that I review
is just it's disgusting in some way or another or it's just so overpriced that it might be all right
but it's like you're burning your money what's even the point and then you know the best part
is that you're burning your money for absolute garbage when it's bad too that's another thing
like the last video that I did for those arbs mac and cheese bites they were horrible I mean
there have been times when Burger King has done their Mac and Cheetos and those were better than
that I mean it's not the most difficult thing in the world but there was that issue and know then
I go back a few a few videos there's this chicken sandwich I think from Burger King and it was like
a piece of rubber that was horrible too Popeyes released their truff chicken sandwich there was
something really wrong with that as well and these aren't you know little criticisms it's
one thing if oh they've you know there's some barbecue sauce on this sandwich and I just it
tastes all right but I'm not a fan of it that's not what I'm talking about here these are things
where there were fundamental labors where it is genuinely gross and vile to the point where
it's not just oh I don't like the way the sauce taste it's this is disgusting this is burnt this
is inedible there's something that tastes so off about this that now I'm worried am I going
to get sick from this this is what I'm talking about not just oh it was uh the sauce it didn't
it didn't have enough sauce or oh there was uh wasn't enough bacon on it or this that or the
other thing these are much more serious errors and they're happening more and more and more and it's
not just with one chain I'm talking about the entire fast food industry from the bottom even
to the top like I'm saying Culver people generally regard Culver as being one of the better fast food
establishments it's happening there too now it's happening at pretty much every fast food place at
least that I've been to and it's happening more and more fre quently any consistency it's just
pretty much consistently bad at this point and the prices that's another thing that's that's for
another day too I could go I could make a whole separate video about that I was thinking though
you know you know those experiences that you'll get you notice something and you're thinking to
yourself though is it just me right is it just me or is and then you know you'll State your
observation I have my suspicions I'll be straightforward with that but I'm still
thinking that is it just me is it just me or has fast food gotten even worse
is it am I trapped in some sort of bubble where it's just getting worse and worse
and worse and everyone else fast food is just great as ever and here I am
where it's just at the absolute bottom of the Barrel or is there something more to
it I have my suspicions like I said I could take a guess but what I want is perspective right I
could have my guesses I could have my suspicions but I was thinking about this as I was looking
earlier at that absolutely vile uh burger that I got I was thinking you know I'm just going to go
ahead with it and I'm going to shoot the question you as a viewer yes you right now right here what
do you notice I mean what really what what do you notice how is fast food in your neck of
the woods are you noticing the same thing are you noticing this precipitous decline in the quality
of it within the last few years mind you so we're not even making comparisons here I should stress
this also to let's say the 1980s or the 90s or even the early 2000s when I think in many cases
fast food generally was indisputably better in many instances I'm talking the last few years
I'll even narrow it down the last let's say two or three years or so have you noticed what I'm
noticing have you I'm curious if you have you could State your observations in the comments
you you could say whatever sorts of experiences you've noticed on your end as far as the fast
food quality is concerned my second question though why do you think this is happening why
do you think like I said I have my suspicions but why do you think it's getting so worse so quickly
at that if you think it is now you don't have to answer all these questions whichever one of these
you know appeals to you but I'm just looking for feedback I'm looking for responses or perspective
I'm thinking is it just me or other folks being impacted by this too and are other folks noticing
the same thing a third question if you want to go here and this is purely optional but if you
want to hypothesize where do you think this is going to be headed I mean do you think it's just
going to keep getting worse and worse and worse and they're going to hit a new low and then some
somehow they're actually going to get below that and it's just going to keep getting worse or do
you think it's going to improve do you think that people are going to start maybe protesting with
their pocketbooks and these companies are finally going to notice that they just not care and it's
just going to keep getting worse do you think fast food is just going to die one day so what do you
what do you think this is even going to result in because to me I notice it getting worse and
it's not stopping this isn't some temporary little trend it is just plummeting it's like
there had been I think a decline in the quality of fast food gradually and then a few years ago
fell off a cliff and it has just been going down and down and I've just been noticing some very
serious problems uh more and more frequently to the point where it's like I'll even think to
myself as a consumer what motivation if it weren't for these reviews what motiv do I even have to go
to these places and I'll tell you what there's none there's no motivation why waste my money
for some slop that's that might even make me sick or that I'm probably just going to be disgusted
with that's going to look like nothing like the ad why even waste the money what's even the point
in my opinion there is none and uh surely I can't be the only person that feels that way so what do
you notice you notice the same thing if so how bad has it been how drastic has the decline been have
fun with us take these sorts of questions any way you want but I am looking for perspective
desperately I'm just curious how how expansive this is how widespread this is if it's as bad
as I think it is if you desent though because granted hey maybe it's just me I am willing to
to accept that if you think that no there really isn't any sort of change or if you think no I'm
you know I'm just not really noticing anything or if you actually want to take a contrarian point
of view and you want to say actually I think fast food has been improving in the last few years you
know review bra I don't really know what you're smoking but I think it's actually getting better
and better I welcome any dissenting opinions as well like I said I'm looking for perspective not
just some sort of one-sided Viewpoint I really just want to hear it all so if you see things
differently you are more than welcome to share your thoughts and that would be much appreciated
now here's where I'm getting with all of this I mentioned that this is going to be the start
of a video series at the very least it's going to be two videos but again I could easily I'm
going to make this however long it is if it winds up being three videos or five or 10 if I decide
to make 20 videos about this where I cover a different point in each video I'm going to do
it at this point I really don't care I'm just going to go for it but at the very least it's
going to be two videos and in an upcoming video and there's going to be some time here so don't
feel like you have to rush uh typing anything out if you want to take even a couple days to
just collect your thoughts or whatever I mean you could do that in an upcoming video though
I'm going to outline some of the feedback that comes in for this video in the comments section
and I'm going to share as much of it as I can and try to discuss some interesting points and
observations uh that again were left in the comments section of this video it's going to
be like an open Forum again all viewpoints both in agreement and disagreement are welcome and I will
focus again on all sides all viewpoints and this is a platform for discussion and that's exactly
what it's going to be so you are welcome again to leave any feedback any observations you have
where do you think the state of fast food lays at this point right what do you think's going
on with it is it getting worse if so what are you noticing how bad do you think it's going to get
what's the future going to be or do you think it's not getting bad at all and I don't know am I just
being too harsh what do you think please leave a comment take it any way you want any observations
you have any chain any location just go for it again the more thoughts and the more perspective
the better and I'm going to be making another video in the near future again you got some
time but in the near future I'll be making one uh where I will focus on some of the feedback that
comes in in the comments section I'll put them up on the screen here so we could all see it and
we're going to go over some of the responses that come in and try to establish a consensus if there
is one that is and if there isn't uh then we're going to figur that out too so that's all that I
have for you today hope you could leave a comment with whatever observations you notice I think this
is going to be interesting and I'm curious if it's just me or if there's something else
going on here thank you for watching and until next time I'm your host the report of the week
