9 nuggets for 99p has never worked for me as it's "not on the system but we have 9 for £1.29 on the system".

The app has a button for 'Coronary Heart Disease'.
I pressed it and a message came up saying 'Eat more Burger King'...

Picture of a Big Mac!!

Is the share box still available? Got told today at Newcastle under Lyme it wasn't!

Shame they got rid of the family bundle really, we used it alot!

Was never advertised at Newcastle, had to argue with the staff every time because they didn't know what it was! They always found it eventually on screen.

maybe i was thinking of Mucky D's, they did a share box of nuggets and onion rings but seem to have stopped doing it now

Big King --------------------------------------------------------------------> Bigmac

Newcastle under Lyme is one of the stores that is supposed to be closing.
3 weeks ago I got told by the Hanley store the 9 nuggets for £0.99 did not exist

Thanks op, no veg burger deals :-(

Tasteless and lucky if its served hot or even luke warm in the BK's I have been too thus far(local)...cheap as chips tho!
Saying that I have downloaded the app and no matter how much I try to ignore the place for reasons mentioned above I get drawn into my local BK which I put down to clever marketing/apps/and having to walk past so many of their places on any high st throughout the UK.

Just give us BOGOF Big King again...

Nice pictures but in reality...

That isn't BK?

Yep, that reminds me once again.
Can't resist.

my sister used to work in BK years ago,before they served any burger they'd zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so to make sure it was hot.

I have worked there in the past. It's only microwaved for about 10 seconds to melt the cheese and warm the sauce. All the burgers are flame grilled and cooked and taste a lot better than McDonald's! After 10 minutes they are all binned, if no one buys them, that's why they tend to cook to order.

Whether it's 10 seconds or 30 seconds, burgerking burgers definitely suffer from getting soggy more than McDonalds and often have that slight chewyness you get from microwaving meat. To me, there's no point in flame grilling if you then ruin the burger.

I've heard "it's to melt the cheese" quite often (guessing it's the corporate line) but a burger that's straight off the grill should be hot enough to melt processed cheese so this seems suspect to me.

It's a shame Wendy's left the UK decades ago. They have much nicer burgers than Burger King for the same sort of price (plus really nice Chilli).

one of carpenter's best :smiley:

The best deal is the one on the reciept. Free Whopper with the purchase of fries and a drink, so essentially a Regular Whopper meal for £2.38.

Can also sub for a Chicken Royale or Veggie Burger instead.

Can you use these deals in UK airports?

don't eat processed meat folks, it is cancerous and that's a proven fact now.

Just been to Burger King to use the 9 nuggets for 99p off and guess what? Not on the system. 9 for £1.29 isn't there either so I had to settle for 6 for 99p.

heat added...

The BK moto is "made the way you want", now for people saying it's unhealthy etc, you can ask for no laminated cheese slices or Mayo etc and save on fats & calories. I'd love to see someone say "can I have the nuggets without the breadcrumbs!" :laughing:

Wish McDonalds had some

yes but as far as I know there is major difference between the potency of danger sunlight posses vs danger of processed meat.
excessive sunlight can cause skin cancer which is often easy to treat,even curable type of cancer if caught early, whereas processed meat mainly causes bowel cancer which is much more difficult to "treat" and not curable.
I loved these type of food but the risks are real and not a joke so I stay away from them altogether.

Officially no, but every time I've tried to use it in a service station they've accepted them there, even though they're not meant to, so worth a try at least.

Good! ;-)

wise up. i better not leave the house or cross the road by this logic. i may get mugged or run don by a crazy cyclist :P

They don't microwave the burgers. As another poster said, they used to put them in the microwave for 5secs, but that was stopped years ago.

I could go one now!!

I've often wondered why McDonalds don't print a Veggie Burger offer along with their other burger offers in the Metro, your answer explains it. I'm quite surprised they sell so few - I've often been told that their veggie burger is pretty tasty. I suppose the whole idea of McDonalds is not something that vegetarians are keen to support, which is fair enough.

A majority of what you eat is processed in one form or another. You'd be hard pushed to avoid that, unless you operate your own farm / allotment.
That's the world we live in - food is engineered to be mass produced so companies can increase their profits.

That burger looks as tasty as Ruth Langsford in black basque and black suspenders mmmm

that's a flawed comparison really, getting out from house is normally a safe thing, it's supposed to/expected to be safe, unless you are unlucky..getting hit by car/getting mugged is not a usual thing, it's rare..you have no choice when it happens..however getting cancer has direct link to consuming processed meat..yo have the choice not to do it, and reduce the risk.isn't that simple?
processed meat cancer risk is equal to smoking cancer risk and that's not my opinion.it's a fact.
we didn't know about it even 2 years ago.it is real.
will you bring up the same example of getting hit by car about smoking?

true but it's the processed meat that is carcinogen..and that can be avoided.
chocolate and cereal is also processed but they are not cancer causing..it's the processed meat that is risky..again we didn't know about it even 2 years ago.now we know.

There's no scientific proof to any of that. Your statement contains more b**locks than a McChicken Nugget.

Heat and of course

ive had some health issues lately and am awaiting the results of an mri scan testing for amongst other things cancer. now i ve been to the hospital and the doctors an awful lot in the last 5 weeks and had over 30 vials of blood taken for various tests. i think if the meat was a really big concern it would probably be the third thing the doctor asked me. the first 2 they ask me are

1. do you smoke ?
2. do you drink alcohol ?

now when 4 doctors and 3 consultants havent mentioned meat to be at all, im feeling like im gonna be safe enough with a few burgers and **** that i eat the odd time.

Does BK still have the Spicy Bean burger on their menus??

Unfortunately not, great burger. Their current version is pretty poor, very bland

At the McD I go to, they don't really care what's on the picture of the Metro offer (or the date), you can order any of the offer burgers or even 6 nuggets. So I'd suggest trying using the voucher with a veggie burger.

My wife has been a coroners officers for a while and she tells me the number one cause of premature death is narrowing of the arteries which is atherosclerosis, caused by smoking or by western diet of processed food. That is the number one cause.

Cancerous? Unlikely - any animal with cancer would be deemed unfit for human consumption, not made in to burgers.
Not that it would be a concern anyway - you can't catch cancer that way.

Did you mean carcinogenic? That's true, processed meat is a known carcinogen (along with alcohol, talcum powder and repairing shoes). But a burger isn't classed as processed meat. ‘Processed’ meat is meat that’s not sold fresh, but instead has been cured, salted, smoked, or otherwise preserved in some way - so things like bacon, sausages, hot dogs, ham, salami, and pepperoni. But this doesn’t include fresh burgers or mince.

Burgers do however count as red meat, which is classed as a probable carcinogen. Along with all other beef, pork and lamb.

So to avoid these known and probable carcinogens you would need to be a vegetarian or limit your meat consumption to chicken and fish. But don't fry them. That would make them carcinogenic too.

Enjoy.

...or perhaps you are feckless?

No wonder Marvin was so bl**dy paranoid if he hung around with you! :smiley:

well you can refuse to see the facts,it's not my statements that is full of b**locks but it's your head..:wink:

Yes yes; most importantly this .GIF

It's good to put it in context. The figures put out there say eating 50g of processed meat increases your chances of cancer by a fifth. Let's take the government figures for someone 40 years old getting cancer in the next 30 years, yes, 30 years. It's 2% on the nose. Add a fifth to that (it's actually 18% increase) and you get 2 * 1.18 = 2.6%. If it's giving up something that enriches my life (but sadly not a cow's) for a value of just over half a percent for the next 30 years I'm going to do it.

If you're happy to deny yourself enjoyment of things because there's a chance you might live longer then that's great - and it's good to know the real risk.

And I've got to get this in there - at least it's not like people eating coconut oil thinking it's healthy when it's so much worse than stuff like this.

I'd guess that the 2% already takes the processed meat into account, so it's probably less than your calculation of a 0.6% difference.
Saying that. this is just one type of cancer/risk. Can you imagine if we lived our lives like that in every way possible. Obviously, it's for you to decide where the line up until 'every little helps' is drawn, as you have put.

I don't want to derail this thread, but since you already have :stuck_out_tongue:, on what basis are you saying coconut oil consumption is worse?

Because people think it's a healthy oil, and it's not, so people know that red meat and processed food is a risk but some people think that coconut oil is actually healthy and it's absolutely not but telling people that gets a reaction like I told someone their kids were fat and ugly. I'm putting together some links for a previous post and to put in future posts and by real Professors of nutrition like Claire Collins at the university of Newcastle in Australia whose department has an ERA 5 ranking which classes it as "Well above World Standard" - they say there are tiny amounts of good fat in coconut oil that can raise HDL but the huge majority raises LDL and it's 89% saturated fat - all the stuff about it being medium chain that can be used like instant energy isn't true. The classifications of fatty acid chains based on the number of bonds doesn't always work in real-world situations so something that was classed as medium-chain can (and in coconut oil does) get treated as a long chain and has to go through the metabolic pathway through the liver.

I put stuff like this into posts to try and tell people the latest findings and I get a backlash and told to do some research - all I bloody do is bleeding research. You ask for their information on the subject and you either get nothing or info from "Quack Addicts" like the Helmsley sisters or articles that collate what's the nearest thing to click-bait with no actual research behind it. If people want to use it as a food then they should at least know the truth about it.

Oh god, I recognise this. I've just checked and found our previous conversation on this. I doubt we will get any further, so I'll just leave this here for my previous stance on this and go away :smile: :

I'd rather you stopped bringing it up randomly though, because I'd have to follow your posts to give the other side of the argument. :smiley:

same. And then they make you feel cheap because you argue your point over 30p

It only works in Usa/America ; when we try to download the app it says not available in your country; & they dont do Monopoly gift /prizes.

& they tried to take me down with a fe kicks to the skull, typical

Nah, I'm doing it every time I get the chance - it's my gimmick!

Heat for the heads up - prefer the paper vouchers as when I try to use the app in all my local BKs the staff just get confused...
Also why is that in Ireland they serve the triple whopper and chicken fries!? Can't get those in the UK :disappointed:

you can get a tripple whopper over here, just get a double and add an extra patty/burger for around £1

Try asking for that in any of my locals and they get confused - there doesn't appear to be a button on the till for that...

burger king near me has it listed on the menu on the wall under extras, 50p for cheese, 50p for bacon, 90p for extra beef, to be fair though they dont specify whether its the small patty you get in a cheese burger / big king, or the larger one thats in the Whopper, ive never ordered it

I wasn't saying i actually wanted one... :confused:

Those prices look like you live in England, it's cheaper in Wales

Can't download the App for the uk ,its only for americans!

then you're doing it wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

its from a service station so likely to be higher than high street prices

And perhaps you've had too many beef burgers and ended up with mad cow disease.

Deal back on with iOS and android valid till 29/05/17

yep, this deal was for the first 2 weeks of May,
ive noticed that they renew the same offers halfway through the month so any vouchers you use get replaced,
then at the begining of the next month they some times change/swap the offers for new items

ive asked for the thread to be un-expired as i dont think its worth re-posting it
