Thirty years later, they would be selling it that way and calling it a “low carb burger.”

Sorry old timer, you have to put it in a cup.

BB did this joke earlier, in an “Academia Waltz” strip. He also did it later, with Milo.

:

Is this the prelude to a week or two of strips about bunless burgers? If so, will Berke do some variations on the theme, like topless burger bars?

I knew a guy who asked for just the patties on occasion. He was on a road trip and forgot to pick up dog food.

You always want the cup, you never know, you might need it later.

A close friend did this in about 1973-4. They gave it to him, and he ate it. Bit messy.

“Milkshake, hold the cup” Great line.

I would hate to work at a Burger King today………well, actually I would hate to work at a BK any day.

Recycled gag, but still good.

My wife and I do this once a month….as a special treat for our dog. We like to reward him for good behavior while having to endure the groomer.

Sure, just hold out your hands for your shake

Ahh you poor, deprived East Coasters. In-and-out offers a burger with lettuce instead of the bun. Among many other interesting and messy variations.

I was in a White Castle one day where an elderly man ordered a single with no onions. I assume they gave it to him after they stopped laughing. lol

Low carb diet?

I see the low carb craze began a long, long time ago.

I had one English visitor insist that McDonald’s make her a burger with no condiments and another who couldn’t understand why they would serve potatoes for breakfast.

Just stick your addled head under the milkshake machine spout, sir.

Or get out before I call the Psych Ward….

Went to a McDonalds a couple weeks ago. Asked for a “cheeseburger plain,” since my son does not like pickles or ketchup on his burger. They gave me a hamburger and bun (no cheese). Just a bit too plain!

I used to order the coney dog without the dog.

“Milkshake, hold the cup”.

Troublesome customer, hold the courtesy (BOOT!)
