Fast Food Nation Impresions

When I first got the book Fast Food Nation, I expected something totally different from what I got. I expected it to attack me with the fact that McDonalds and all those other fast food restaurants are so bad for me. I though that I probably wouldn’t want to go eat at another fast food restaurant ever since the first chapter of the book. I read up to chapter three and that is not the case at this point. The author is starting a little slow and tells the history of fast food restaurants. So far, I'm really enjoying the book, I found a lot of interesting facts, and learned lots of new things I have never known before. Here are some quotes that I found interesting.

“In the neighboring town of Garden Grove, the Reverend Robert Schuller founded the nation’s first Drive-in Church, preaching on Sunday mornings at a drive-in movie theater, spreading the Gospel through the little speakers at each parking space, attracting large crowds with the slogan “Worship as you are... in the family car.” (Schlosser, 19)
I think that is very interesting! I have heard of many drive-in things, I’ve never heard of a drive-in church. I wonder how that works... you leave when you feel like it, you can come it whenever you feel like it... Is there a set date or time for service?

“You can buy bean-bag McBurglar dolls at McStore, telephones shaped like French fries, ties, clocks, key chains, golf bags and duffel bags, jewelry, baby clothes, lunch boxes, mouse pads, leather jackets, postcards, toy trucks, and much more, all of it bearing the stamp of McDonald’s. You can buy T-shirts decorated with a new version of the American flag. The fifty white stars have been replaced by a pair of golden arches.” (Schlosser, 31)
That is just amazing how many McDonald’s things there are. The most amazing one is that you can buy a t-shirt where the stars have been replaced with a golden arch.

Saturdays Clean!!!!

Is your house or car ALWAYS a mess? If you are like me, you have no time to clean it on the weekday, so every day you promise your self that you will clean it on SATURDAY. No excuses!!!! Of course Saturday rolls around and you have something much more important to do than clean your room or your car. You need to go shopping (which is extremely important) or your friends asked you to go somewhere where you just absolutely can't turn down. You end up waiting for another Saturday, and when that comes, you have the same old story. At the same time, you absolutely can't stand your dirty surroundings. Your dream has always been for someone or something else to do it for you. Well, this is the day you have been waiting for! Saturdays Clean has been recently invented for people like you that never have time to clean. Using Saturdays Clean, you just need to sprinkle the powder Friday night before you go to sleep on the area that needs to be clean. Luckily, Saturdays Clean is strong but sensitive enough for any kind of surface; all kinds of woods, carpets, plastics, polishes, and glass. Saturday morning when you wake up, your house will be unbelievably clean!!! This is clean while you dream!!! Now your Saturdays are always clean and you can spend your Saturdays however you want, with out ever feeling guilty again!!!

True Love

True love is a promise never broken.
In a moment of anger, bitter words are left unspoken.
It’s forgiving, forgetting what you forgave.
It’s knowing when one is lost in doubt.
It’s believing together you will figure it out.
It’s hurrying to waiting arms at night.
It’s the comfort and strength you gain from your love, your light.
It’s her smile saying “thank God you’re here.”
It’s his smile answering her unspoken prayer.
It’s the dreams of tomorrow yet to be.
It’s your futures carefully planned making it a reality.
The awards are many when love is true.
It’s your adored one whispering, I love you!
