I like this Rootbeer you can only find in Vermont, it´s called Rookies, and you can add a splash of Espresso and they call it ¨the dark side¨ they recently (before the pandemic) sold an orange cream flavored Soda (we call it soda here where im from) I love Rookies because you can get it only one other place outside of Vermont, and its at the Big E fair in the Vermont house. I watch alot of hockey (maybe to much if im honest) and ive never heard of MBs before....to be fair im not much into the Nashville chicken, but if its not to spicy i might like it. but id like some tomatoes and lettuce on it. I like to eat take out sushi or bento at my local japanese Market, its always nice to get ¨good cheap¨ sushi.

hey Critical nice too see you in my neck of the woods ( Nova Scotia ) again since the days of you doing a video on Donair. the one thing i can say is KFC use to be a great chicken place but somewhere back in 2015 time frame they changed their chicken it had the same taste but i find the portion of the chicken size greatly reduced like they changed how they did chicken here for some reason and it seems like they have hardly any meat too them the pieces of chicken in a bucket is so small i refuse to eat from there anymore cause to me it's not worth it. Mary's is more expensive but their chicken is the size of how KFC did chicken back in the day before the changes. next time i recommend trying a 3 piece or 4 piece chicken with the small taters/wedges or fries with a can of soda ( which is what i buy ) goes around $14 anything more then that your looking to pay alot of money for the chicken which i think is not worth it.
