1. Look, we are well aware that it's not healthy.
2. And, yes, we KNOW that fast food places do have their share of healthier offerings. Which we will never order.
3. Sometimes you just want consistency in your dining choices.
4. We think it's kindaaaa rude to make fun of people's dietary choices.
5. We're all for trying ~authentic~ dishes, but we admit it's unreasonably fun to try familiar fast food chains in other parts of the world.
6. We secretly know that the BEST PART of a road trip is visiting regional fast food places you don't have at home.
In-N-Out, Hardee's, Carl's Jr, Krystal, White Castle...
7. And you can't help but feel protective and proud of the fast food restaurants you grew up with.
8. Certain activities REQUIRE the consumption of dozens of White Castle or Krystal burgers.
9. Honestly, we're busy. And tired. Always. So fast food is convenient.
10. There is absolutely no shame in ordering the kids' menu if the toy is cool.
11. Having a pantry stocked with ketchup packets and plastic sporks isn't embarrassing; it's genius.
12. We can and will put horsey sauce on EVERYTHING.
13. Yeah, we might have seasonal fast food items written down on our calendars.
14. Everytime you have homemade fries, you get REALLY sad and wish they were McDonald's.
15. We will admit, however, that fountain soda NEVER tastes as good as can or bottle soda.
16. There's something oddly alluring about not being able to get fast food breakfast after 10:30 or so.
17. Look, SOMETIMES you get really hungry at 2 a.m. and NEED Taco Bell to help save you.
18. There's something really nice about being able to eat out without having to use up half your paycheck.
19. Fine, we'll share some with you.
