Did someone say they wanted something HOT??

No, I didn't. I was just citing an example.

I can't stand hot stuff like that. Last night I gave away my coupon for two free Hardee's spicy chickens after Hardee's refused to let me have regular chickens.

They wouldn't let you substitute? That's silly. I guess it would have thrown their inventory out of whack.

You usually find that the freebie coupons are only for a line that isn't selling very well, to boost its sales. Hence the old phrase "No such thing as a free lunch"!

Or they want to change people into ordering a high profit margin item, such as taking chicken out and adding fillers and spices to replace it.

Along the same lines, I picked up two Milky Ways at Walgreens recently, and the cashier pointed over at a bin and asked if I'd like the "three for two-priced" candy bars instead. I thought that was kind of odd, so I said, no, I like Milky Ways.

You will usually find that cashiers are on commission for every "promotion" that there is that week.


That actually never occurred to me, but it sounds plausible.

The thing in this case is, the regular chicken was the freebie the week before.

The remaining three are all breakfast: monster biscuit, chicken biscuit, and biscuit and gravy. I'm not fond of biscuit and gravy, but I'll eat it for free.

The real thing I think they're going for is to get you to buy something else to go with your free stuff. Most weeks, I did, but not always.

Anybody remember the Wonka bar that was supposed to be three meals in a bar, but the blueberry pie part turned Violet into a giant blueberry?

Yep, I remember that, Gene Wildman played Willie Wonka.

Good choices there, Bob. I think the Butterfinger is probably the worst on the teeth, however.

My father was a dentist and he always thought that Sugar Daddy pops were the worst candies out there in terms of dental hygiene. They last a long time in the mouth and bits and pieces can get stuck in your teeth. In addition, Sugar Daddy pops are both hard and sticky, so they have greater potential to extract loose fillings.

Oh I know what that is. Yes, it is addictive.

Speaking of addictive does anyone remember Lowney's Caravan ? That was, and still is my favorite bar. Sadly Lowney was Borg'd by Hershey and their products disappeared.

I know you still have the recipes Hershey! Bring it Back !
