In a world where fast food is often the go-to comfort meal, many find themselves regretting their choices. Tech entrepreneur and anti-ageing advocate Bryan Johnson recently captured this sentiment on social media, using a Bollywood meme to prove a point. Johnson, known for his strict longevity-focused lifestyle, shared a scene from the 2006 Bollywood film Jaan-E-Mann, featuring Salman Khan. The meme he shared was of Salman Khan's character crying in a cab.
The meme, originally captioned “Me after having junk food that didn't even taste good,” resonated with many who experience post-fast-food regret.
Johnson added his comment to the post, stating, “It's never, ever worth it.”

Johnson's post quickly gained traction, amassing over 631k views and sparking a discussion among social media users.
Many chimed in with their own experiences of disappointment after consuming fast food.
A user described a common experience with fast food — an initial excitement before eating, followed by disappointment once they tasted it.
every singlet time i eat fast food i feel the same. i feel a sense of excitement before eating it, but after the first bite it just feels so incredibly bland at best. then finish it due to sunk cost fallacy.— ratwell (@ratwell0x) March 2, 2025
Another said that they had ordered Domino's but regretted it, since the eatery's food quality has “gone downhill in every aspect.”
Yeah. I ordered Domino's tonight. First time in a few years. They've gone down hill in every aspect. Total regret for multiple reasons.— Political Exile (@crypt0_d3v) March 2, 2025
A person wrote that quitting fast food led to both mental and physical freedom, comparing its addictive nature to being chained. “People fear it, but getting off chain-food literally frees you from mental and physical chains. There is a reason they are called chain restaurants,” wrote the user.
I agree. ????
I did that for years.
Once you free yourself, you won't want to ever go back.

One user also took this opportunity to poke fun, stating, “Salman Khan doesn't age… sorry, Bryan.”

In December 2024, Bryan Johnson visited India to promote his book. Despite bringing his own meals and avoiding Indian food during his stay, he appeared to appreciate its nutritional value. Sharing his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), Johnson praised Indian cuisine, stating, “Power is moving away from football and fast food and towards health, science, and Indian food.” Read more about it here.
Whether or not people embrace Johnson's disciplined approach to health, his meme-based commentary certainly struck a chord with those who have experienced the all-too-common fast-food regret.
