Dry and hard as opposed to the real Nathan's stuff that is suposed to be served! As for the condiments, oh well no comment there. If anyone is thinking of a hotdog franchise it should be http://www.papayaking.com or an amazing one near my college http://www.coloradomagazineonline.com/Food_Drink/Mustards/Mustards.htm The hotdog tastes exactly the same as the ones you get off the shelf which tastes like a small size mortadella log!

If you want to make a 50% discount on the 750fils , u would NOT get 500fils , instead you would get 375fils Kapish ? Leave the Finance for the Financials ..

the rule says on how to calculate the increase in something is:

(After - Before ) / Before = ( 750 - 500 ) / 500

= 250 / 500 = 0.5 = 50%

.. meaning .. if you want to make a 50% increase on the 500fils .. it would be 750fils

BUT ..

If you want to make a 50% discount on the 750fils , u would NOT get 500fils , instead you would get 375fils

Kapish ?

I was looking forward to Johnny Rocket's Fries. was REALLY happy. Then when i ate it it didnt taste spicy. i asked the waiter and he said its chili but not spicy ? And then i really felt like slapping the cook. to me, no offence but its stupidity. it makes you excited when hearing Chili for nothing :P q8reviews: if you saw me in Johnny Rockets when I ordered the Chili fries you would have understood why.

Nathan's is 50% more expensive and Hardeez is 33% cheaper. I disagree on the review however. I loved Nathan's hot dog. It reminds me of the ones sold in petrol stations in Dubai. The chilli is like mark said, awful. Maybe it's because of the beans, ekh!:P The fries isn't as good as it sounds either. My next order would be 2 hot dogs with mustard (no chilli). As for 767's comment, chilli isn't supposed to be hot :) Not neccesarily. Enigma got it right. Nathan’s is 50% more expensive and Hardeez is 33% cheaper. I disagree on the review however.
