next time you're in the drive through, ask them if you can get your meal to go. The reaction is priceless.

Drive thru... Burger King... Hubby didn't think of fixing anything because he didn't know what I wanted. The next day, that's when he made up for it and fixed all-American food.

next time you're in the drive through, ask them if you can get your meal to go. The reaction is priceless.

Hmmmm... we have drive thru in Pinas so we're not really new to this. But if it's just to make yourself or them crack up, why not.

This is a funny poll because I remember my husband's first meal (so I voted on behalf of him).

He ate a huge cheeseburger with fries from Applebees, and he really liked it. I was in Brazil with my hubby and my best friend picked us up from the airport and we were starving. We drove from Miami to Jupiter (West Palm) before we sat down to eat. It was a great meal - topped off with my husband's first taste of Budweiser, which he still prefers to this day.
