What has happened to our world? Actually, that may be too broad a question. I mean, are we asking what happened since the beginning of time ’cause if we are that could take a while to answer. There’s the whole Big Bang thing, the formation of the planets, the creation and evolution of life, and then the teen pop phenomenon. We can’t begin to explain all that in this limited forum. Especially the teen pop thing.
So, let me rephrase my question: what has happened to our world that has resulted in a certain fast food chain, that shall remain nameless, trying to McCheat people?
You may ask, “Scott, what the hell does McCheat mean? Oh, and also, what are you talking about?”
To that I would answer, “Silly rabbit. Trix are for kids.”
Of course, that would just be for my own personal amusement. I’m a simple man. But I will go on to actually answer your questions, oh perceptive reader.
McCheat is a word that I made up to let you in on the little secret of which fast food chain I will soon be telling a story about. See, I said I wasn’t going to tell you which chain, but McCheat was an attempt to give you a little clue. Did you get it? Huh? Didja?
Anyways, I McOrdered a Value Meal the other day at said fast food chain.
It went a little something like this:
“I would like a Number 4 please.”
“Large or Supersize?” said the woman behind the counter.
“Uh, what?”
“Large or Supersize?”
Now I’m thinking, I just want a Medium. Can I not do that anymore? Has Mediumness gone the way of the Dodo bird? But I look up at the menu, and Medium is clearly listed as an option, so I say:
“Um…Medium?”
And she fills my order.
So, bottom line, this unnamed fast food restaurant is trying to trick you into spending more money on a larger size, which you’ll then force yourself to finish thus raising your cholesterol count and sending you to an early grave.
To that I say: McBite me, I’ll have a Medium…
