Date Night...not for the calorie conscious.

Friday night is always our date night, and yesterday we ended up being very spontaneous. We couldn't decide where to eat, so Jacob pulled into Arb'ys and ordered one dollar item really quickly and said that will be all. I was really confused, and thought maybe we were just trying to be extremely frugal tonight, but with my stomach growling at me, I had to ask "can I order something?" Jacob just laughed and said that we were going to do an experiment tonight to test out all the dollar menu's around town, and decide what we like the best. I thought it sounded fun, so that is just what we did. Here are our seven restaurants (like I said, not for the calorie conscious), and what we ordered at each of them.
Burger King (Whopper Jr.)
Taco Bell (Big Taste Taco)
KFC (Snacker)
Wendy's (Chicken sandwich)
McDonald's (McChicken with cheese)
Arby's (Arby's melt)
Sonic (Frito Chili Wrap)

Our Favorite to Least Favorite

Here are some other funny things we noticed on our very scientific experiment.
* Only Taco Bell serves their food in a plastic bag.
* Another reason we did this was because if we ever do go out to fast food, it is almost always Taco Bell. This just justified why we do go there.
*KFC is a chicken place, but their snacker was much more expensive than any other chicken sandwich, and it was a LOT smaller too.
*Even though we ordered dollar items at each restaurant, our totals came out different. $1.05 Burger King, Taco Bell, $1.07 Wendy's, the rest were $1.06 (Weird)
* We used only the spare change we could find in our wallets, pockets and car to purchase our meal for the evening.
*The total came to $9.07 (We had to get at least one dessert :))
We know we are a little funny some times, but next time you can't decide on what to do, try to be spontaneous and check out your local restaurants. :)

That's really funny! I love Taco Bell too. When Jacob had first gotten off his mission, he hadn't eaten at Taco Bell in 2 years. So guess where we went?
