[00:00] Which restaurant's cheapest item tastes the best? Six Play sells an item for just $2.31 and you might be wondering what could be that cheap. A cookie. It comes heated up. Honestly, best fast food cookie besides Subway. 8 out of 10. But Panda Express was a little bit different because for $2.10 we got an A-Girl
[00:12] and I was surprised that it was kind of flavorless. But it came with a fortune cookie, so that has to be bonus points, right? 6 out of 10. McDonald's was the cheapest so far at just $1.39 and for that you can get apple slices. I haven't had these in probably 10 years and... It kind of just tastes like them.
[00:24] 4 out of 10. Popeyes surprised me because for just $1.81 we were able to unwrap this biscuit that looked like it came straight out of a commercial. Wait, this is the best biscuit I've ever had. I thought it would be really dry, but it's not. I don't think I've ever been to Jack in the Box, but they had a surprisingly good deal, with two tacos only being $1.79.
[00:36] It cannot be real meat. And well, I found out there wasn't any, until I got a few bites in and realized why it was so cheap. It's mainly just lettuce and sauce. Still insane value, though, so 7 out of 10. Taco Bell had a tie with three of their items coming in at $1.39 each, tying with McDonald's for being the cheapest. First was the cheesy roll-up, which is just a tortilla with cheese.
[00:49] For what it is, it's chill. Also a full taco, but with potatoes instead of meat. That was even drier than the Popeyes biscuit. And lastly, beans and rice, which didn't look the most appetizing. It's not that good. Still not bad value, 6.5 out of 10, and Jack in the Box had the best value, but Chick-fil-A tasted the best.
