A Whopper scared Robert Downey Jr. straight

Remember when we were talking about hamburger joints? Well, Burger King
helped Robert Downey Jr. kick drugs. In an interview with Britain's Empire
magazine:

"...the 43-year-old actor recounts an incident in 2003 when he was driving
around with "tons of f---ing dope" when he decided it was time for a burger.

"I have to thank Burger King," he told Empire. "It was such a disgusting
burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something
really bad was going to happen." After the bad burger experience, he said he
tossed all of his drugs into the ocean and decided to sober up for
good.[..]"

Wimpy, anyone? Enough to make you lose the will to live, let alone the
will to get pissed.

Except when they're *in* a motorway service area.

London Gateway (Formerly known as Scratchwood) springs to mind, for one.

The Wimpy I had at a M-way services about 3 years ago was actually one
of the worst meals of my life, certainly in the top 3.
