Chargrill did not make the list, so you know its wrong! Consumer Reports weighs in with its Fast Food Burger Rankings (Really!) via HuffPost

Consumer Reports’ October issue runs the results of their fast food burger survey, taken by 28,000 of their online subscribers. The respondents ranked 18 fast food burgers on a scale of 1 to 10, and the final results of the survey, along with a photo of each candidate, is below.

In-N-Out Burger and Five Guys shared the top honors, each earning an average score of 7.9. You may remember this same burger duo from last month’s Zagat fast food survey, where Five Guys edged out In-N-Out for their best fast food burger crown.

The mega-chain trio of McDonald’s, Jack in the Box, and Burger King rounded out the very bottom of Consumer Report’s list, lending some credibility to this set of burger rankings (though we can’t speak for some of the smaller chains in the middle — Back Yard Burgers, Checkers, Krystal anyone?).

On his next swing, his club snagged a rock, causing a spark that lit the rough ablaze and eventually attracted 150 firefighters to the scene.

Jon Stewart’s “Extremist Makeover – Homeland Edition” (August 19, 2010).  He clinches the debates with a link to Charleton Heston’s 1999 speech defending the right of the NRA to gather in Denver after the Columbine shootings.  Steward summary state is “if anyone can bring Christians, Jews, and Muslims together… its Moses (Heston himself).”
