If you suddenly get hungry, where do you go? Of course, there is a chance that you will go to some gourmet restaurant, but you must admit, the probability is rather negligible. After all, the main goal is to get full quickly, with something relatively tasty and, what is important, not for all the money in the world. That is, the answer is obvious - fast food.

For several decades now, fast food has been the main food industry on the planet, and burgers, French fries, shawarma, pizza, donuts and other classic elements make up the lion's share of the diet of many people worldwide. However, not all of us are actually delighted with fast food, realizing that good marketing is far from good food.

Five Guys restaurant exterior, featuring red and brick walls, related to hyped fast foods. Five Guys. It's good, but not "this meal cost me $30" good.

    Fast food items including burgers and fries on a table from a popular restaurant chain. McDonald’s. It’s not cheap. It’s not fast. It’s not good. Whatever I want that McDonalds sells, someone has a better one. And it probably costs about the same or less.

    Person holding a hot dog with toppings that might be an overhyped fast food item. I travel a lot. The best and most consistent fast food in America is the taco truck/trailer/stand. Regular American fast food has reached a new low in the last few years. Even a simple hot dog surrender now has about a 75% chance of being a major disappointment. Subway has probably fallen the most.

    Dunkin' Donuts storefront with logo sign, reflecting on hyped fast foods and consumer disappointment. Dunkin. I'm a New Englander so we have them eeeeeeeverywhere. I want to love them. I really do. But the food they have is pretty terrible not to mention the coffee.

    Wingstop paper bag with text about flavor choices; related to hyped fast foods that disappointed some people. WINGSTOP. I think the fries are the worst thing on the menu. They’re horribly soggy and underseasoned.

    A person counting dollar bills next to a calculator on a desk, highlighting financial management. The pricing of fast food makes basically all of it seem overhyped to me because it never justifies the price even if it tastes good. So far the only fast food I would willingly pay current pricing for is Jollibee.

    In-N-Out Burger sign against a clear blue sky with palm trees in the background. Unpopular opinion: as a Florida boy traveling to In-N-Out Burger while in San Francisco, it wasn’t great. I’ll take my 5 Guys and the down votes now.

    Raising Cane's signage inside restaurant, highlighting fast food disappointment theme. Raising Cane’s chicken has been described to me BY RAISING CANES FANS as merely a “Cane’s Sauce delivery vehicle.” Again, this was the best description FANS of the brand could give me. Because they primarily make chicken, and the chicken is pretty tasteless, yet somehow, they’re opening up a new one on every other block.

    Zaxby's fast food meal with chicken tenders, crinkle-cut fries, toast, and a drink cup on a tray. Zaxby's. Steamed fries, soggy toast, and a couple of nugget-sized "tenders" is not it.
