There was a lawsuit a while back that was settled out of court... where the BK scent pellet vapors were blamed for some birth defects in the offspring of some people that lived near a BK, and so they shut the program down for a while. That might have been during the time of when you worked there. Which would explain how you don't know about the secret pellet tray in the chimney.

As far as I know, they still have a "broiler" in every store.
In the 60's and 70's they had a conveyer broiler like the modern pizza oven in a place like Papa Johns. would be pulled down a metal rack as one side cooked then be flipped and taken back so the other side could cook. It was a gas flame so it cooked like on a grill and the end result made the signature burger. I think they were also the "have it your way" slogan before Wendy's really got going with fast, custom made hamburgers.
There is a local burger joint that still has that old conveyer system and they still pop out some tasty burgers. Until a few years ago they were selling broiled hamburgers at 69 cents and broiled cheeseburgers at 79 cents but they were decent sized burgers not those Krystal sized ones. Still not sure why they stopped using them and went to microwaves as the system worked pretty well and microwaved hamburgers are just nasty.

This is exactly what we had and that was in 1996. Maybe the phase out was a regional thing? We definitely still used that sucker. Worst days of my working life were the ones where I had been assigned to the broiler. Six hours or more of just standing there in front of this fire breathing POS throwing raw, frozen burger patties in its mouth. All. Damn. Day.

I don't, but wouldn't that have been a McDonald's offering?

I don't think that was it.
FYI, they actually did have employees go jump in the dumpster out back to pack down the trash and then come right back in and make your Double Whopper meal in the same clothes.
Fun fact....the reporting of this practice to corporate is ultimately what led to me getting fired/walking out (depends on who's story you accepted as truth).

McBLT and I absolutely remember this, I use this phrase often and people have no idea what I'm talking about.

Do you remember when Hardee's sold fried chicken?
As an aside, the last time I ate at a Hardee's was the one on the corner of 316 and 20 literally 20 years ago. They had fried chicken.

I remember that one well. Was it that store or one of the ones nearby that caught fire and ultimately led to the exodus of business in that little spot?

As someone whos worked in the field, where would you estimate the annual intake of boogers, hair and spit for the average American that eats fast food? It's pretty common isn't it?

What kind of situations are you able to work this phrase into? It's kind of a long one. Do you remember the commercial for it with George Costanza from Seinfield before he was George COnstanza?

Oh, more than you would care to know. We had a guy who took grease from the trap on the broiler that was fairly solid, made a bun up just like a Whopper (lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard, pickles, etc), poured enough of the grease on to form a "pattie", put it together and packed it into a drive-thru order. That person never came back to complain, so we assumed they either died or it tasted just like the real thing that he/she never even knew the difference (the latter being the most likely choice).
Nasty place. I don't eat at BK.

Hardees on North Ave in Athens would give you free fries and a drink with a student ID if you bought any sandwich/burger. I unabashedly took full advantage of this offer as a broke arse undergrad, haven't been back though in years.

That's fricked up.
If it's going to happen though, I wish it could be directed at the following drivethru re-curing scenarios...
1) the lady whos told to pull forward at the window because her order isn't ready, but she pulls up only about 5 feet forward and then I can't get around her after getting my order
2) the car full of 12 democrats sitting on laps in front of you that places five separate orders (changed 3 times a piece during the order process) and then they all pay separately with quarters and nickels
3) the mongotard that places their order then pulls forward about three feet and starts reading their phone, but there's 20 feet in front of them and I can't fricking get to the damn order speaker thing.
All these people deserve to get bonus boogers, pubes, and loogie secret toppings.

Since this thread now has a music component to it, let's have a little song trivia. Can you name the title of the song (without looking it up) which contained the phrase, "I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom?"
