   very subtle--- propaganda or mind control? take your pick -religion- its manipulation of your conciousness either way.

   In-N-Out Burger is privately owned by a Christian family. Additionally, it's the best fast food franchise ever.

   I've never even seen an In-N-Out Burger and I thought this was common knowledge.

   Ironically, Rich Snyder, president of In-n-Out who instituted the chapter and verse printing on their cups and wrappers was 'called home' early in a plane wreck in 1993.

   There are much worse things we are "manipulated" with. I'd much rather be manipulated into heaven than the optional agenda. When you are a believer, it's a comforting reminder of God's promises. For the unbeliever, it may not make sense, but there's a chance that the curious soul just might find comfort, also, in a time of need.

    yes believe in God with all your heart -its just that when someone touts their own religion and thinks they have the only road to The Great Spirit (and everyone else is wrong and should be killed) then there is a problem.

    My favourite reference from the Gospel of the Apostle John is John 11:35.

    It's the shortest verse in the Bible....

    A lot of good it does you if you don't have a bible or internet access...

    If you're going to proselytize at least don't be passive aggressive about it...

    I’ve never even seen an In-N-Out Burger and I thought this was common knowledge.

    Why would it be common knowledge that you've never seen an In-N-Out Burger?

    Forever 21 store bags have it printed on the bottom too.

    Why are things underlined linking them to strange places that have nothing to do with what people wrote?

    Fast food gospel? How American can it get? And if someone thinks that, that is religious manipulation, then maybe you should take something out from your .... that's not manipulation. Manipulation is seeing 5000 ads per day and all that.

    I don't really like it; if there was something printed on some other chain stuff, like 'god doesn't exist' you'd have a bunch of crazies up in arms.

    I'd rather just see the ingredients than preaching.

    Oh, a couple thoughts:

    1. It's amusing that a religiously-minded business would call itself "In-N-Out" anything! I guess they didn't understand the double entendre...

    2. It's their business to run as they choose! If you are bothered by their message, don't patronize them. If you like them, you should give them extra business! Vote with your wallet!

    Straight talk from Sid!

    Hey, thanks for the tip! Now I know where NOT to eat.

    they do that on the bottom of XXI Forever bags too! I think its the same reference, too!

    Big deal. I'm far from Christian and I'm thrilled that I live in a country where someone can own a business and do with it what they please (as long as they're not hurting anyone, and last I knew, putting Bible verses on cups doesn't hurt anyone). Ah, the power of the dollar. If you don't like it, you can choose not to go there, but you might want to think about what that says about you (that you wont' do business with someone who is of another belief system and shows it through their business? Yikes!)! Any logic that would say they can't do that is the same logic that would tell someone else they can't sell cute little devil air fresheners or other stuff that Christians might get all weird about. No thanks.

    The most ironic thing about In-N-Out is that it's never in and out, it's always in ... wait ... wait some more ... wait for a loooong time ... then out.

    Great burger though - I'd eat there with or without the Bible references.
