Things You Only Talk About With Your Best Friend After Eating Fast Food

By

Maybe you were in a rush, maybe you were hungover and convinced grease was the best remedy or maybe you just had the deep pang for those majestic double arches. Fast food happens. We know how it will make us feel, we know what it’s doing to our bodies and our environment, but when that hunger calls, we lose sight of all logic and indulge that that dirty gluttony. But have you ever noticed that no matter how justified you feel in your order, you find yourself rationalizing your needs? Repenting your weakness? Reassessing your life choices? This is especially evident when you’re with your best friend. The two of you will build on each other’s guilt and you find yourself spending an entire day reeling from the experience.

These are things you only talk about with your best friend after eating fast food.
