The Last Trip to Burger King

Summary:

A young boy and his best friend meet up after last seeing each other in college. After a short reunion, they decide to go and spend some quality time at Burger King. On their way there, they see on the TV monitor that a report was supposedly filed against Burger King specifically explaining that they violated nutrition codes. This report ultimately explains how the food at Burger King is extremely deadly and that there have suspicions that it can possibly lead to death. One of the boys decides to leave, while the other goes ahead and eats there. 3 years later, the boy’s friend is found watching TV stunned at how ¾ of the entire world is dead.

The Last Trip to Burger King

(Enter Boy #1 and Boy #2)

Boy #1- Hey! Is that you? Is it really you? Do you remember me; I use to go to college with you. I haven’t seen you in so long!

Boy #2- Oh my god! It is you! How have you been? We need to catch up. Want to come with me to the mall?

Boy #1- Sorry man, I can’t. I am dying to eat. I’m gonna head over to Burger King. Want to come with me?

Boy #2- I guess… do they have anything good their anyway?

Boy #1- Of course! They have French fries, chicken nuggets, and especially their new Quarter Pounder!

Boy #2- I heard about that… I guess I can come with you but I don’t have any money with me.

Boy #1- Its okay… I brought twenty dollars with me. You can borrow some of mine.

Boy #2- Okay, sounds good. How far is it?

Boy #1- only a couple blocks… (They start walking) So, how have you been?

Boy #2- Good Good, nothing new. How about you?

Boy #1- Yeah same…

Boy #2- Oh my God! Look at that!

Boy #1- Where? What? What is it?

Boy #2- Up there, on the giant tv monitor… It says that there have been lawsuits filed against Burger King.

Boy #1- What do you mean?

Boy #2- It says that they violated nutrition laws and the food there seems to make you obese after eating their a couple times…

Boy #1- That’s impossible! I have been there thousands of times!

Boy #2- Well, I don’t know… I think I am going to have to pass. Sorry, maybe we can catch up some other time.

Boy #1- Fine. Suit yourself! Cya. (Boy #2 leaves and Boy #1 enters the restaurant and sits down to eat.)

3 Years Later

Boy #2- (Watching TV) Wow, I knew that going to Burger King was a bad choice… I hate to say it but I told him so… I guess its okay though, those 4 billion people were making the world crowded anyway…
