Russia and Chechnya? Israel and Palestine? Afghanistan? Sri Lanka? Iraq? They ain't got nuthin on the Burgers.

I love this article.

Not because I am remotely interested in how much a burger from either Burger King or McDonalds costs, since I am about as likely to consume one of them in the near future as I am to grow wings and a long yellow beak and fly around the office, shouting: "I'm quackers, I am!"

But purely because of this phrase:

"...the damaging burger battles of 2000 and 2003..."

How did I miss this? Why weren't bloody burgers hitting the headlines every day? Where were the dramatic conflict scenes on the News at Ten?

Just imagine the warzone...

Sir, sir! Incoming sesame seeds!

Get the casualties outta here, soldier. My God, they're covered in ketchup.

Bad news, Admiral - the whole squadron's gone down with Mad Cow Disease.

Okay, fellas. It's time to bring out the big buns.

Let Operation Gherkin commence...

        OK. it will mean a lot of late nights though.
        
        I see R2D2 as a mobile shake dispenser and C3PO only having one star on his badge so he keeps getting everything wrong, looking over his shoulder and going "Master Luke! Master Luke! where is button for "blaster" price on the till?" While a row of angry stormtroopers builds up in front of him demanding Happy meals.

Seriously, there have been times when I have been rushing about town heading off somewhere and been in dire need of food on the quick, and it often comes down to which burger bar to use. McDonalds is always a NO, Burger king a maybe, Ed's is not bad just for the decor.

I just hate McDonalds.

They turned my favourite rock bar into a drive through.

Bastards!

  Who the hell is Ed?
  
  Personally, I go for Barburrito (it's a Manc thing). Or Millie's Cookies. Mmmmmmmm...

    Ed's Diner in soho. 50's themed burger bar - excellent shakes. Bit pricey and the burgers are OK, but it looks cool.
    
    They have a few branches around london, even one in the Bluewater shopping nightmare/mall.

      Oh sorry is it next to the shoe shop called amnesia.
      
      Perhaps as we walked past I had other things on my mind.

Ugh, that burger in the photo looks disgusting!

Burger Wars? Why can't they just title it "Fooood Fiiiiight!"? That's basically what it is!

I do remember lots of demos and protests against Macdonalds in the 90s. But apart from each company vieing with the other to provide more crap toys to put in the nauseating lunchboxes they offer for small kids I cannot remember actual battles. How puzzling.

I once tried to compare a cowpat and a burger side-by-side; no difference, though the cowpat gave off less of a pong.
