I'll try to make this a little more fun. Try to guess the restaurant based on the order. Got it? Alright, let's go!
Double quarter pounder with cheese and a large fry. Sometimes I'll get two cheeseburgers instead of the DQP. Usually also get an apple pie or two.
Meat and potato burrito and a large potato ole.
Double butter burger with cheese and the works and a regular fry. Usually get a turtle sundae as well.
Mushroom and swiss burger and a large curly fry.
I figured out how to do spoilers so here are the answers.

Why, oh why is it not called half pounder?
The burger patties are 4 ounces. So it's double quarter pounder. Otherwise they'd need two types of patties, this is more efficient and probably cheaper.
Well that makes sense but isnβt nearly as fun. And two patties is still half a pound, right?
I don't think they're going for "fun". Lol. Yes, 2 patties is still half a pound (uncooked weight).
