Save the Thick n’ Hearty?

To quote Somara’s least favorite Wonderpet, Ming Ming, “This is serious!” Actually, it’s probably not. I’m with my friend Jeremy who invited me to lunch at Whataburger today…the drive to save the Thick n’ Hearty burger (two patties with a slice of cheddar and smothered in onions and A-1 sauce) is an ad campaign. Sounds cynical but there’s little explanation beyond this special disappearing forever after December 21. It certainly can’t be for health reasons. If Whataburger were concerned about obesity and heart disease in Texas, they’d close or switch over to exclusively serving hippie food.

It’s still amusing. I got permission to take a picture of an employee’s shirt giving the URL and toll-free number (for the luddites). Her initial reply was “Why don’t you write it down.” To that I said, “I would if I could type with my thumbs quickly.”

Those who don’t live in Texas, stay tuned to see the fate of this burger. It could’ve been a great King of the Hill episode. Bobby and Bill in a tizzy with Dale feeding their fear through his paranoid rantings. Hank just rolls his eyes until Peggy shames him into helping due to all the taunting from Kahn and Mihn. Still stumped on what the A story would be.
