Wimpy menu from 1983...

Fast Food. Quick, nutritious, cheap.

Ummm… not so much.

Let’s try again:

Quick – Meh. Sometimes yes, sometimes not so much. Depends where you go, and when, I suppose. Ever tried buying KFC on a Friday evening? You haven’t? Okay then: how about those of you who aren’t out having a life? It’s insane – queues out the door.

Nutritious – Riiiiiiiight. If you buy that, you clearly haven’t watched Supersize Me, a doccie made a few years back about a guy, Morgan Spurlock, who ate nothing but McDonalds for an entire month. As you can imagine, the results were not pretty. Rent it – trust me on this one. You’ll be chomping a  fresh salad within minutes.

Cheap – while the occasional artery-clogger probably won’t break the bank, take a look at this scan of a Wimpy menu, with prices, from 1983:

Wimpy Menu from 1983

Yes yes, I know – inflation and economy and and and don’t care. I just wanted an opportunity to post this scanned menu, coz it’s old and cool and reminds of when I was a little ‘un and still experimenting with blue bubblegum milkshakes.

Now go to the gym Chubby McChubbs Chubb.
