3 things better than a Chris Daughtry single.

Have you ever wasted four quarters trying to get a stuffed bunny rabbit with a claw that doesn't actually close all the way?

Have you ever lost a dollar betting your friend that there was no way Nickelback could be on every single radio station at one time?

Have you ever sat alone at night staring at your itunes store trying to convince yourself that "Home" by Chris Daughtry is only good amidst the emotion of someone getting voted off American Idol and otherwise pretty average.

Have you ever wondered what the best spent dollar really is? Rather than racking your brain for the next few hours, I'll just lay it out for you right now with the three greatest value menu items of all time:


1. The Double Chee

Nothing says value of a dollar like two patties, two slices of cheese, and a bunch of other indistinguishable ingredients between two slices of bread. "Oh but David, In-N-Out has a double double and it is sooooooo good blah blah blah 'fast food nation' blah blah 'supersize me' blah blah calories blah blah I can't believe you would eat at McDonalds oh my gosh oh no oh childhood obesity!!!" Are you honestly going to say this isn't one of the most magically priced menu items of all time? That's what I thought.


2. The BRC

Leave it to the masterminds at El Pollo Loco to come up with such an overwhelming Mexican sensation. What's that side of beans and rice? You want to hop inside the tortilla? And you want to bring your cheesy friends with you? Well let's do it. And let's call it a dollar. And let's consider ourselves heroes for making the world a better place. Put simply, the BRC is to value what Sinbad is to the president's son in a shopping mall while bullets are flying.


3. The DDT (Not the world's most awesome wrestling move)

Aside from the fact that Taco Bell only has about 9 different ingredients and just rearranges them into different shapes depending on which menu item it is, the Double Decker Taco is still the best. Why? Because it is a dollar.

Here's a quick survey for any Taco Bell regulars:

1. When is the last time you ordered a "Crunchwrap Supreme?"
2. Have you figured out that it's the same thing as a Double Decker Taco?
3. Do you like paying 1.29 extra?

Face it. Everything at taco bell is the same. Therefore, you might as well get as many Double Deckers as you can eat. "Oh but David, the Crunchwrap Supreme comes with tomatoes, and I loooooove tomatoes." Would you rather spend 1.29 on some tomatoes, or another Double Decker Taco? Any real American knows the answer to that question.


In conclusion, I hope that you have learned something about the great country that we live in, and the ability to obtain such culinary greatness with a mere dollar. Not since the days of Shaq Packs have we seen such value at the drive through.

I have two things to say.

1. The double cheeseburger at McDonald's is gross because you can taste the "meat". The Single Cheeseburger is amazing angels are singing and I can't help but join in song! Whoa. That's good. Also note that the Single Cheeseburger is capital letter worthy.

2. BRC & DDT are delicious. I like to make my own DDT by ordering a bean & cheese burrito and a crispy taco. Unfold the burrito. Insert taco and enjoy. It's huge!
