Death of an Icon

Growing up in South Africa in the dark old days had one positive...the Wimpy. Now if you are not familiar with the Wimpy, I will explain it to you. Take McDonald's and take Burger King combine them into the best fast food burger you could ever make and kabam... you have the Wimpy. Unfortunately it seems that like the previous government...the Wimpy has changed. The legendary Tomato Sauce (Ketchup) is now watered down, the rolls are stael and the prices are just ridiculous. Although that's prety bad on its own its not the worst part, the sadest dimise with in Wimpy is the traditional burger patty. I'm afraid it just doesn't measure up anymore and it's not just the size that has shrunk, the taste is just a former shadow of itself. So I'm sad to say but in my eyes it really is the death of an icon beacuse visiting a Wimpy i will do no more :-(
