Up until the early 20th century. Heck, there wasn't a lot of actual cocaine in
the formula. And it wasn't illegal back then, either. Here is a link to an
advertisement for "Cocaine Toothache Drops" which was popularback in the day

I am the opposite. I had a BOGO coupon for Mickey D's so I went and got a pair
of double Quarter Pounder with Cheese burgers. Shared the last half of the
second one with Phil's pooches.

Some chain places have pretty decent burgers - I am told that In & Out have
great burgers. And I know from eating there that Smashburger is dyn-o-mite. 5
Guys isn't as good. But, still plenty good for my money. Red Robin burgers are
on a par with Smashburger .... and if you don't want beef there is always fish
and chips ..... with endless carb bombs (French fries) or coleslaw.

Other than the fact that I'm an omnivore?
