    I tried Chick-fil-A once, because a friend had done a Trump-style dinner party. It was the blandest, more boring thing I have ever eaten. Did I just get a bad batch, or is the blandness the point?

    • I came here to say literally the same thing. It’s the mpst basic-ass chicken sandwhich imaginable. I don’t understand how they got so fucking popular. Popeyes has more flavor, and even KFC has more ideas (they’re not necessarily GOOD ideas) and niether of those places donate to murder queer people.

      Yeah I don’t get it either.

      The chicken is dry and overcooked, the vegetables are soggy and warm, and the bun is mushy. And because there’s next to no flavor, due to using white meat and not seasoning it properly, you have to drown the sandwich in sauce for it to be edible.

      When I actually did choose to buy from Chick-fil-A in the past, it tasted fantastic, especially the spicy chicken sandwich. Compared to most fast food places, they’re miles better in both taste and service. But I don’t wanna support conservative Christians that are homophobic so I choose not to eat there anymore.

      It’s unfortunate that they’re Christo-fasc, cause everyone else is mediocre or awful (well, except maybe Popeyes Chicken sandwich) compared to them.

        I think you just got just a little bit too stoned when you tried it, cause even a week old Big Mac tastes better than anything Chick-fil-A has to offer.

      Yes, but it’s popular for a reason. The chicken is just textured super nice and lightly breaded. Part of that reason is also hospitality even if you’re gay (I’ve personally witnessed it despite their large contributions to anti-gay organizations). If you ain’t in GA there’s a strong chance it was weak. I think many chains suffer when they get too big.
