Welcome to day two of round 2! I hope you’re hungry because it’s time once again for the fast food chains to battle for their coveted status of coolness. Here’s a quick recap of round one:
1. McDonald’s vs 16. Popeye’s
The student’s don’t seem to love that chicken from Popeye’s as much as they are lovin’ the burgers, nuggets, and fries from Mickey D’s. McDonalds wins 15-6.
8. Domino’s vs 9. Pizza Hut
The battle of the pizza wasn’t as close as one might have expected it to be. Domino’s ran away with this one 15-6. Pizza Hut, get a New Ulm location. Get cooler.
5. Chick-Fil-A vs 12. KFC
It just so happened that two chicken chains got matched-up together and the result would make fellow desktop writer Luke Rogotzke proud as Chick-Fil-A wins 16-4 despite being closed on Sundays.
4. Taco Bell vs 13. Arby’s
Another upset was served up by a 13 seed! Arby’s leaves Taco Bell back in the dust 16-5. The meats prevail.
6. Wendy’s vs 11. Sonic
America’s drive-in put up a heck of a fight against Wendy’s, but ultimately the baconators proved to be too strong. Wendy’s moves on 11-10
3. Subway vs 14. Dairy Queen
We had another match decided by one vote, however this one went in favor of the lower seed. Dairy Queen’s fast comfort food was decided to be cooler than Subway’s healthy food 11-10.
7. Burger King vs 10. Chipotle
We love Chipotle...Chipotle is our life… Chipotle wins 15-6.
2. Starbucks vs 15. Panda Express
In another very close match, Starbucks Coffee battled the Chinese cuisine of Panda Express. With a one vote difference, Starbucks ultimately avoids the upset winning 11-10.
