Show Notes

JJ and Tucker kick off this episode of JJ Meets World with a deep dive into fast-food breakfast, and the surprising truth behind the Burger King Foundation and its scholarship programs. From there the conversation spirals into a hilarious investigation into whether chicken sandwiches have lost their flavor, why Coke Freestyle machines might be ruining soda, and the internet drama surrounding the McDonald's Big Arch burger and a CEO's controversial "normal bite."
