Sometimes you just NEED a burger!

Maybe you've had a bad day, maybe you're starving and you only have $6 in your checking account until payday, maybe you had to go to the doctor and get blood taken and for the first time in 28 years you didn't cry or pass out... Some situation in your life warrants a good 'ol burger.

OK so I was totally just making excuses to eat such a lunch today.
I don't care what anybody says, Milo's is the bomb, yo! From the always crispy fries to the sauce and the piece of mystery meat tucked into the middle of your burger. There is nothing about Milo's that I don't love!

Don't get me started on those pies! Apple, lemon, peach - they're all delicious.

Oh, and the tea! Ohh the sweet tea! Now I've had better tea in my lifetime, usually the best comes from my own kitchen, but there's some kind of tea crack they put in Milo's Sweet Tea. Something that keeps you coming back for more and more until you realize you've drank a whole gallon within a day - oops. Here in Alabama, it ain't a family gatherin' unless you have a jug of Milo's around..

Once in high school, we spent Spring Break in Panama City Beach, Florida. While at the grocery store stocking the fridge for our first week of independent beach-going, we were absolutely appalled and outraged that there was no Milo's Tea in sight at the grocery store. It was a shame! This was not the age of smart phones and wide-spread internet access so it wasn't until I got back to Birmingham until I learned that we were the only ones privileged enough to enjoy this tea crack.

It's my understanding that not everybody enjoys Milo's. I just don't see how this is possible. As far as fast food goes.. Everybody goes to Milo's!
