          McDonald's sells more hamburgers than anyone in the world. Does that mean they have the best burger?

          My favorite Bourbon lately is Buffalo Trace. I can get it for about $21 and it tastes like I'm seriously underpaying.

            I never said they sell more than anyone in the world…
            That would probably be Johnny Walker, which is mostly shit!
            Just sayin, the scottish probably know a thing or two about scotch.

              Ok then. McDonald's has the most popular burger in the United States. Americans know a thing or two about burgers.

                If Americans created McDonalds i'm not sure that they do know a thing or two about burgers 😉
                I guarantee McDonalds burgers used to be a lot better back in their day, but now they have become a product of excessive demand and excessive supply…

                  Are you saying that the Scotch you're talking about is impervious to such issues? I know nothing about Scotch, btw. Just playing devil's advocate.

                    No.
                    Yet, the process that goes into making scotch is extremely arduous and takes a very long time. This causes potential supply to be much more limited than burgers, due to requirements for storage and creation of the raw spirit, let alone having it sit in a cask for at least 10 years.  This stuff is single malt too, meaning it is produced at the one distillery (with limited production capacity) and there is not blended with other, lesser scotches to add volume.
                    So to an extent, the scotch is affected, but nothing like the Macdooglez.

                                I assume someone or some people were paid for this exercise in pointlessness.  And it is published in BMJ, an esteemed medical journal.

                                I hear next they'll be looking into the feasibility of Hugo Drax's space station and its cloaking device.

                                  The article I read noted that the research was done by reading the books at home,  "in a comfy chair".  They also mentioned that the BMJ's Christmas edition covers mostly offbeat studies.  I'm guessing that the whole thing was unfunded and done mostly as a diversion from "real" research.  Quotes from the paper itself seem quite tongue in cheek.

                                          Just picked up some habanero shrub from Bittermen's, some single estate Tequila, and some Gran Marnier.  My guess is you can figure out where I'm headed here.

                                          Some gin and rum libations will also be explored with the shrub.  I will also be experimenting with Rittenhouse rye, two kinds of spicyness in some kind of variation on an Old Fashioned.
