PepperoniMaster 12/13/18 3:01:27 PM #7:	Brother, that's like saying "Why even have other burgers on our menu if they're not gonna sell as much as our biggest seller, the Big Mac". Yes, their fries are renowned, but you can't have a massive menu on hand and not offer a decent portion of sides to go along. Apple slices and side salad don't count. As a matter of fact, who even gets those with their meal? --- To be the man, you've got to BEAT the man! <cite>PepperoniMaster posted [p:914066581] in Is there a...
