Thanks so much for watching!! Comment below with your definition of "fast food." Do pizza places count? What about Subway, Starbucks, or Chipotle?
Generally speaking no drive food it's not fast food so places like chipotle is fast casual.
Haha jokes on you Little Ceasers has a drive through
Should do a video 5 dollar meals.
@@MuffHam I love it! Gonna work on filming something like that in the next couple weeks!
McDonald's wins
Aww KFC thought you were struggling and gave you them free sides 🥺
I hope he did the survey!
That's exactly what I was thinking! I used to get 2 chicken littles on my lunch break (Back when they were like $1.29 10 years ago) when I was struggling. They kept me full and provided decent protein/fat content. Those employees are awesome.
Great video. I love Arby’s.
Also I've never gotten a biscuit with my Tuesday 2 Piece from Popeyes lol
kfc employees are the nicest. i once forgot my backpack with my tablet there as a kid and when i went back they had kept it safe in the back 😭😭😭
9:15 Awww🥺 KFC was trying to help a poor person eat!! The extra food wasn't to get a positive review, they were doing it because you asked for "the cheapest item" and they thought you were in real need😭💕
I know it’s not a fast food spot, but you can’t beat Costco’s Hotdog and a drink for $1.50
That’s a good point! Sheetz also sells two dogs, a drink, and fries for $2.99 which is a great deal
This! My bf would get a Costco hotdog a soda and an ice cream for lunch every day when he worked near one because we were broke and it was a lot of food for cheap
Costco is a loooooooong way from that part of Virginia.
@@therealsamreid Sam's Club is the same.
@@ukulelegirl2016 good god.
The fact Taco Bell has not sponsored you yet is a tragedy
Jack...this is the highest compliment you could have ever given me and for this I thank you
Maybe they insured his toilet....
Big brain moves
@@therealsamreid hey do you have the fetch rewards app you earn gift cards for receipt
God Bless
You should try this again with the value meals. Like the 4 for 4 or the $5 buggie bag at Wendy’s is really a good deal
That’s a great idea!
I totally agree burger king also has they $5 your value meal
I think this is a great idea, try it out!
My go-to value meal is the Classic Combo at Taco Bell. It’s usually fairly hidden on their menu but it’s $5 and you get a lot of food. It comes with a Beefy 5 layer burrito, a taco, cinnamon twists or you can swap for chips and cheese, and a large drink.
@@brennendupere1219and if you order online you get the my cravings box which is a better version of the classic combo for the same price
Wow. $1.19 for a McChicken in 2022. It's March 2024, and it's $3 now.
I remember about 7 years ago I use to be able to get a McChicken meal with large fries and drink for 4 dollars. Now it’s a solid 10
4 bucks near me
Dude. My Taco Bell was out of Baja Blast the other day too. I can deal with $5+ gas, but if there is a Baja shortage, our country needs to fix things.
😂 Well said. That's when you know things are bad!
didn't they start selling baja blast in US supermarkets a while back now? why not just stock up lmao
@@TheInfamousLegend27 They're only in supermarkets during the summer I believe and even then its hard to come by. I guess you could stock up on a bunch until the next summer but that would be a bit overkill lol. Also they might be speaking about the baja blast freeze which you can only get at taco bell.
@@TheInfamousLegend27it's only in stores june-september, they've got it year-round in Canada though
Ewww, that stuff’s too sugary literal diabetes in a cup
The most impressive part of this video is honestly Sam eating 10+ burgers/sandwiches in one day. 😆
This journey definitely replaced both lunch and dinner that day 😂
Here's some Dairy Queen lore nobody asked for: So there's a story behind why Dairy Queen flips their Blizzards. Samuel Temperato, the DQ franchise owner who came up with the idea for Blizzards, was inspired by the frozen treats sold by Ted Drewes, a St. Louis shop owner who termed them “concrete”. In 1959, Steve Gamber, then 14, would stop by Drewes’ Chippewa Street location for a sandwich and chocolate malt, asking Drewes to make it thicker and thicker each time. Drewes had enough and one day flipped the malt upside down to show its thickness, assuring his young customer that if it fell out, it was free. Temperato picked this up for Dairy Queen!
ted drewes is so good man.
The Rodeo Burger is absolutely an underrated gem! One of my favorite things to get from anywhere, I don't know if you can still do it but you used to be able to sub a chicken patty for the beef patty too if you wanted. I endlessly wish the BK close to me was still open.
Back in 1999 when Wild Wild West was in theaters you could
This.
The food bank donation idea was great man! Love that. Keep up the great content too!
Appreciate that bro!
I know bk won for the value drink, but I do wanna give props to McDonald's for offering $1 large pops. It's appreciated
Agreed! Tough paying more than that when you know you can get a large for $1 at McDonald's
Technically, they're $1.25 now.
@@REMcCullick $1.49 in jersey before tax
@@z609gaming $1.59 before tax now in NM
2 dollars here in Southern California now. It’s too bad.
you know this aged poorly when the Mchicken is 3 dollars now
Where do you live?! It's $1.89 where I am in Tennessee
@@YakkityYakk prob california or smth
@@nederlandsgaminghub9445 $3.59 for one at my nearest McDonald's in California, but you can also get them as part of a 2 for $3.99 mix-and-match deal, which isn't too bad.
@@MrL1193 here in Denmark its 4,27 $ for a mchicken burger
Bruh its $4.29 in Maine now...
I don’t really go to Burger King anymore (their food isn’t what it used to be) but now you got me wanting to try the rodeo burger.
Theyre small and so good i used to eat like 10 of them! Lol
It's the only reason I go there. Chicken fries are just a bonus.
That BBQ onion ring burger is actually making me rethink my disdain for Burger King. Looked decent and like a great value
Always my go to
I will say the Buffalo chicken slider is by the best slider at Arby's. I think that would have upped the ballin a bit.
Yep! Love the Buffalo chicken slider. It’s a great deal.
Ok so I enjoyed this a lot more than expected. I will always unapologetically love fast food. Thanks for posting!!
You and me both!!! Thanks for watching!
A video comparing Fast Food Value Combo meals would be great!! The Popeyes combo featured in this video, Wendy’s 4 for $4, Taco Bell’s $5 box, etc! Also comparing kids meals could be really fun?
Arby's was founded in Boardman, Ohio, on July 23, 1964, by brothers Forrest and Leroy Raffel, owners of a restaurant equipment business who thought there was a market opportunity for a fast-food franchise based on a dish other than hamburgers. Originally, they wanted to name it Big Tex, but opted for Arby's based on the initials of the Raffel Brothers, RB. They initially served only roast beef sandwiches, chips, and soft drinks, but of course this would change once Arby's started to grow (starting with fifty a year in the 70s).
Arby's now has more than three thousand restaurants and can be found from Canada to South Korea and even Turkey! The world's largest one is located in Colonial Heights, Virginia, resembling a roadside rest stop.
Thank you for telling me and making me learn more about the history of Arby’s
Did you google this? Or you just randomly memorised all this information about Arbys.
A JBC at Wendy's is probably the best bang for the buck.
Back in the early 90s, Taco Bell had a 59 cent, 79 cent, 99 cent value menu. Used to love the 79 cent tostadas! Keep up the awesome videos, just recently found your channel and subscribed.
That means it was more expensive back then.
Yeah, I used to get the bean and 7-layer burritos. Still miss those days.
Dang dude, the subs are rolling in. Congrats my man, tripled in like a week. I'll get there eventually, enjoy the come up brother!
My favorite budget McDonalds item is actually the Daily Double, which isn't on the menu but can be ordered via the kiosk or drive-thru. It's basically a McDouble but with lettuce, sliced onions, tomato, and mayo (instead of the diced onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard). Banger sandwich. Might be a cool idea to explore the best "hidden" options like that, stuff that can actually be rung up but isn't listed on the menu.
Arby's is so weird. The ones here in my town are almost always devoid of customers, but yet they've been open for years and years. I do go to one every once in a while because it's right by the Lowe's that I spend way too much money at. Their sliders are actually pretty solid, but whoever decided to get rid of the potato cakes needs to be drawn and quartered.
At Wendy’s, there’s a jr hamburger that’s less, and you can upgrade the bun, add lettuce, tomato and onion all for free. THAT’S the hack
Can't believe you did this all in the same day, you rock dude
When I was a kid, Arby’s was definitely my favorite fast food! But we were only allowed to get the sandwiches we had coupons for cuz it was kinda pricey and my parents were cheap. 😆
Arby's is still my favorite
@@chandlerpaulk4518 I must admit, I just ate Arby’s yesterday! 😁
@@moonbatt lucky
@@chandlerpaulk4518 Still bummed out that they discontinued potato cakes, but I placate myself with the crinkle fries...
Thanks for this video! I’m watching your videos on my meal breaks because of how interesting they are.
New to this channel and I love it definitely gonna subscribe!
Thanks for being kind to the employees, saying how are you and thanks goes a long way :)
Burger King always smells good when you drive by. Smart marketing move.
im surprised Jack in the box didn’t make the list
Dang I'm going to Burger King tomorrow. I can't believe the Rodeo Burger still exists. That thing was my favorite as a kid.
i just found this channel the other day i love that you remind us "its going to be okay." thank you for the kind message some people really need to hear it sometimes c:
This is my first of you videos I've come across, and just wanted to say it was a fun concept and good video man!
Love the long video! In the McDonalds near me, the McChicken is $2.39 im jealous of your $1.19.
I appreciate that!! I’ll keep that in mind for future seasons 👌🏼
And if you see the BK's $5 meal advertised, the BK NEAR ME CHARGES $6 FOR THAT SAME MEAL!
Agree with the grilled chicken burrito at The Bell. I love grabbing the chipotle ranch grilled chicken 🌯 for lunch when in a rush.
Minus the red nasty chips
A fine video of supreme quality. I hope your channel blows up soon my brother
Around 1990 when I was in college you could get a whole meal for $3 at BK- some kind of burger, fries drink and maybe even a cookie or some desert item- what a deal lol. Good that they are still the best value! Great video!!❤
Did not see that winner coming!! Thank you for doing this for the sake of science.
It was my honor
Love your vids can’t wait for more like this!
Coming from a present tacobell employee I definitely enjoy the cheesey bean and rice burritos they are fantasticly tasty one of my go to for sure besides the beefy 5-layer add potatoes and 3 cheese blend.
Great episode!! Excited for season 4!!
Appreciate you Josh!!!
Keep this stuff up bro. I can tell you enjoy this and If you keep it up your channel will grow.
Thanks so much for saying that!
The problem with Arby's is that you should've got the buffalo chicken or jalapeno roast beef slider. Those are the best imo
the cheesy bean and rice burritos are alwaysss my go-to order lol! they used to be straight up $1 though 😭 great video!
Hey, die hard Arby's fan here with my 2 cents: I know they always advertise their beef & cheddar or just the beef burgers they serve in general... BUT the best things on their menu to me are the standard sandwiches (like the Montreals, I LOVE the Roast Turkey & Swiss) that w curly fries and a shake or drink is always the best combo. But they don't advertise them ever so no one really knows about them, they don't even list them as part of the menu on their American site but do include them on the Canada site. I feel like I'm eating an actual sandwich and not fast food.
This doesn't relate to the video whatsoever, obviously the sammies are still not the cheapest option, but if anyone is ever wondering why Arby's is still in business I just wanted to give that recommendation (don't forget the curly fries)
In Canada, McDonald's has a sandwich called the Junior Chicken that is exactly the same as the American McChicken, and I gotta say that is my go-to budget lunch while running errands
It's no longer budget. It's almost $4 now...
We need a 2024 updated video the fast food pricing is crazy now!
Fast food = no expectation of a tip.
Starbucks has Baristas, tips aren't "required" but are normal enough to not be fast food.
Comfort foods became really big in my life and at times it would be my main meals for weeks at a time. So I have a lot of experience with being cheap at fast food places. McDonald’s, McDouble small fry is 3 bucks. KFC famous bowl is 5 bucks. Taco Bell has a HUGE value menu that’s super good. Wendy’s 4 for 4 too. These are the cheapest but best filling meals from fast food places in my opinion 😊
Time for your channel to go viral. You make great videos man
Thanks Justin! Appreciate you saying that
🙂
Love it. Keep up the good work!
A typical definition of a fast food place is where you the customer can order food and drink over the counter and receive said food instantly. This is why Starbucks is #2 on the list. Yes, Dunkin is on the list too. Other notable top 10 in the US include Subway, Panera Bread, Domino's, and Chik Filla.
My personal favorite? Cook Out! They are mostly on the East Coast so they're not big yet, but they're quite tasty.
What kind of food is Cook Out? Is it like BBQ or burgers? I’m in Arizona so I’ve never heard of it
@@glndreamer Cook Out's menu consists of what you would normally expect to find on a back yard grill. This can include burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, and bbq. It tastes just like it came straight off a back yard grill too which is why I like it so much. It is also a pretty good value too. Most importantly, while they are not open 24 hours, they come pretty close, staying open till 4am on the weekends.
Man, Cook Out is so freaking good, but you know you're about to get carjacked or mugged when you see one.
@@Firevine hah! Maybe in your neck of the woods, but some of the ones around here are near Vanderbilt University and MTSU and have on duty security guards during the wee hours. Can you imagine a fast food place jam packed with primadonnas at 2am?
@@nashvillan4lif Here in Georgia, Cook Outs are almost _solely_ located in bad parts of town. It's so wild. Every time I see that sign, I know I'm in the hood, but Cook Out is worth the risk.
Cool! Also , extra credits for showing us a shot of that guy from that show , BEFORE he went all HOBO lookin... man , you can almost SEE the funk fallin off him these days :D
Best cheap deal is the Wendy's Hamburger with added vegetables through the app. You can get mayo added as well. It's 1.39 but you can't order it when it's busy around here.
Your channel is growing pretty fast! Hopefully u get 100k
My BK order is always 2 Rodeo Burgers and a value coke. BK definitely isn't the gold standard for fast food for me, but if you catch a Rodeo Burger right after they dropped fresh O-Rings?
Sweet, smokey BBQ sauce, crispy onion rings, and a charred patty on a sesame bun... absolute heaven
Man this is a great video from concept to execution. Here before a million views.
Just discovered your fast food content. Keep it up!
I'm a new viewer. I looked at your subscriber count, thinking you would have millions, and was shocked to see less. I think you will blow up. Great video! 🤗 Can't wait to watch more.
You deserve so much more subscribers! I seen you on the news btw :)
Thank you so much!! It's been fun to see the Taco Bell story getting some publicity.
Awesome video Sam🎉
The proper definition is that the food is ready and waiting under a heatlamp BEFORE you order it. Most restaurants now do final assembly while you wait, be it in the lobby, or creeping up the drivethru line.
I feel like Bojangles fits that definition to a T!
Haven't done Hardee's since 2015, when I on vacation somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic region. My home state of Connecticut is one of the few that does not have a Hardee's nor Carl Jr.'s. If I recall, the food was decent and it was actually brought out to me.
Fast food restaurant of choice is usually BK and they have a decent value menu.
This man ate a Popeyes biscuit without a drink and lived to tell the tale.
I'm just here to say that I am a die hard Arby's fan. Best fast food mozzarella sticks out there.
I love the cheesey bean and rice burrito, my favorite taco bell item!!!
taco bell will always be my fav for value, that spicy potato soft taco is so damn good
Taco Bell being out of Baja blast is like McDonald’s saying we’re out of hamburgers
I’ll be honest, you can get a classic Chick-fil-A sandwich for like $4. It’s the gold standard for me. No fries, no drink. Just get me a chick fil a sandwich and some sauce and I’m a happy camper. Quality is unparalleled.
Nice The Office reference, Burlington Coat Factory!!
Not sure if anyone mentioned. But what’s cool about the chicken little is you can have them but bbq sauce or any sauce they have available
I love the Rhett and link reference
I’m from Singapore, and this morning I ordered a normal coffee with milk from McDonald’s for 3 dollars because I just needed a quick caffeine fix.
I felt like a fool. Should have just topped up another 2 dollars for the 5 dollars breakfast meal 🫠
You should do an updated version of this video
really enjoyed this
should have done the spicy potato soft taco that thing is amazing.
Can you do one of those "starting from penny" videos? I feel like the way your videos are organized would fit really well with that video.Just a thought ;)
Your videos are well done and fun to watch
Your charitable act made me subscribe. That shit is so dope ❤️🔥
KFC once gave me my order which was like a 4pc strip basket with mashed potatoes, a cookie, drink and an extra side of Mac but also gave me a mashed potato bowl!! Could have been a mistake or from a previous order but I was happy to have lunch for the next day!
This needs to be updated if it hasn't. Prices have gone up a LOT sadly.
Great video, very well detailed.
Yoo ur date thing on ur desk this was made on my birthday 😂 0:12
I agree, fast food in my opinion should be things you can get for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Not somewhere you just get coffee or ice cream. Because fast food was produced mostly for people who were travelling for long hours and days. Whether that be a road trip, vacation, work, or truck driving.
In Australia we are paying $5 USD for a McChicken sandwich only and now I feel kinda slighted 😂
Idk about your guys wendys, but my wendys had an offer called 444, 4 for 4. You get a small burger or chicken sandwich, fries, a drink, and 4 pc nuggets for like 4 dollars and change. honestly one of the best ever fast food deals. Only beaten by burger kings 5 for 4. Everything wendys gave out except + a cookie
Yes!!! Agreed. I need to do another video on combo meals - for this one I tried to just to the cheapest single item which caused me to miss out on deals like the 4 for 4. I hadn't heard of the BK 5 for 4, but that sounds amazing!
i'm so pumped that burger king is getting recognition, for some reason BK gets so much hate but it's my go to if i ever want some junk. i still think the whopper is the best fast food burger out of the big 3.
The spicy potato taco is my go to at taco bell. i could buy 3 of those for under $4 and be set for lunch.
The McChicken here in Southern California used to be that inexpensive, and the small fries were about the same. It was great when I was broke and only had a couple of bucks to spare. Now those sandwiches here are $3.50. Not the greatest sandwich, but it was fine in a pinch. Now everything's so expensive.
7:25 reminds me when I went to mcdonalds on a field trip in 2003 and I bought a Big Mac and chicken selects for $5. It’s nuts to me that it ever happened
Love this dudes voice, subscribed after one video!
I've never gone to a burger king before, gotta try them out soon. Thanks.
For sure!
Where i used to live there was a Hardee's and a Carl's Jr right across the street from one another, im not sure if they are both still there or if either are still there as I haven't been home in a few years.
Like this concept. Would also love to see the inside of each food (like the burrito!). Also, a weight or calorie measure for the "budget." (Like cost per calorie or ounce.)
Good call! Gonna make a version of this with combo meals and will be sure to include the cost per ounce/gram
That was awesome dude my favorite came in 2 I'm down with that!
the buffalo chicken sliders at Arbys are one of the best things they have, shoulda gone with that instead lol
Having worked at Burger King for quite some time back in the day, I knew the Rodeo Burger would be a top contender. I'm pretty sure it's still $1 (before tax) and it tastes way better than it has any business tasting for being so simple. The Rodeo Burger was one of our more popular items among staff because we actually knew it was on the menu, and it was a good small item to use your daily discount on, if you couldn't justify buying a whole meal that day. We also knew how good they were, and that we use a different barbecue sauce on sandwiches than we do for dipping sauce. The dipping sauce is alright, but the sandwich barbecue sauce is noticeably better.
Though, shoutouts to the retired Arby's Pizza Sliders. So underrated, but they were really good, especially for their happy hour price.
Also, it's not the cheapest menu item, but back in the day the Beefy Five Layer Burrito at Taco Bell was my go-to because it was $1.59 - not sure what it costs these days.
