Okay, here's mine:
U2Bama's More Fun at McDonald's
The other night after exercising and running at the local park, my wife and I decided to make up for it by picking up dinner at the local McDonald's on the way home. We chose Mickey D's because they have a banner out front advertising "2 Double Cheeseburgers for $2.22," and we were going to get that along with fries, but get drinks at home.
To go along with the 2 Double Cheeseburgers for $2.22 promo, they also had, I guess for single customers, the Double Cheeseburger Extra Value Meal advertised at a "SPECIAL!" price of $3.39 "For A Limited Time Only!" What is strange about this is that the REGULAR price, on the menu, for the Double Cheeseburger Extra Value Meal is $2.99, $0.40 less than the "SPECIAL!" "Limited Time Only!" price of $3.49.
I asked them about this when we got to the window, and they said, "Yeah, that's the SPECIAL!" Me: "But it is MORE than the regular price." Them: "But it's for a limited time only, while we fave the 2 for $2.22."
Basically, I never could get an explanation for this. But I wonder, if I went and ordered a #12 off the menu would it be $2.99? And if I ordered the Double Cheeseburger "SPECIAL" would it be $3.39? Either way, it is the exact same freaking meal!
