BurgerKing BK Burger Shots = False Advertising


Here's my story to my first "False Advertising Alert"!

Imagine that your job allows you to drive for roughly 8 hours a day through out a small city and it's surrounding counties.

There have been many times as I drive that i say to myself "WTF how do they get away with advertising that" and the end product is never close to what is advertised.

Now a days there does not seem to be any type of organization that monitors this thievery unlike they did  up till about maybe 10 years ago.

OK, it's nearing lunch time now, I've had my 2 banana's earlier in the day and now thinking about my usual chicken snack wrap from McDonald's,  it's quick,  it's cheap, it fills me up and is better for me then that delicious $1.39 dbl cheeseburger or any of the other burgers.

Anyways I'm driving and wham a new big sign at s burger king I'mpassing, i catch the big $1.99 and what look to be 2 small burgers, yummyI'm thinking to myself, I'm gonna have to swing back and give them a try.

What happened next as i drove away from the drive through window has stirred me just enough to finally put some of these pissed off false advertising feelings into a blog.

Anixiously awaiting the drive through ermployee to pass me my bag of maybe a new lunch item, I grab it from her and start pulling away, but quickly come to a stop, dammit the bag felt empty.
I reach into the bag, i feel the napking and what appears to be burger wrapping, i grab onto it and pull it out and was like WTF is this.

I pull out of the drive lane to a parking spot, opening the package i see the 2 little ritz sized burgers, what i'm not seeing is the beefy beef and pickles and condiments, i swear, it was the size of a ritz cracker. 1st and only time i will try the new bk shots.

 STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIP OFF ITEM!
Hey Mike and Terry

Click on image below to see the lead image SI ran for about 3 hours this morning before changing it to lucas.

Here we have Michigan State making it to the final 4 being held in D-Town, you would think SI with it's illustrious writers, copiers and editors would make sure that they would spell the name correctly of  a star player on a team thay have been covering throughout the tourney..... oh ya thats right STATE has not gotten any respect at all and this again proves it. this ran for a few hours before they changed it this morning.

IT'S Lucas NOT Lewis!

Weekly Highway Radio Rant

Did my weekly highway run from windsor to toronto today, as stated yesterday i knew it was going to be a very hot day in the non-air conditioned cab. Todays temperature was 97 degrees.

Here is a recap (hoping to become a weekly rant) of my day on the road and all the various crap i listen to on the radio while cruising at 120 km/hr.

I always look forward to catching the start of Rovers Morning Glory
at 6:30 am est dialed in on live 97.1 Free FM
wishing once again that i could listen to the whole show but knowing that within the hour i'll lose the reception as i get a little further away from detroit

the story i took away from the hour i had to listen today was something that dieter had brought up, it was regarding a story about video games and their effects on children, dieter dug this vid clip up from the net and they played it and wow, I hope this kids parents are aware of this behaviour.




it was about this point in their show that i lose them and switch my fm dial over to
101.1 the wrif

Drew and Mike are always a grand laugh over at the wrif, and yowza they were all over mel gibson. Usually get about an hour of Drew and Mike before its dreaded am time.

It's about 2 hours into my trip now and it's time to head to am on the dial, I catch a little greg and brady from WDFN 1130 am, and got a good listen to about the tigers and their player that got himself a " hit for the cycle" Since i live across the river frome detroit I am enjoying the baseball fever thats about in the air here in town, it reminds me of the blue jays fist 2 world series victories that i got to enjoy in person back in 91-93.

8:45 am means it's CFRB and Bill Caroll Time located at 1010 on the am dial, but alas Bill is on Holidays for 2 weeks and spot was filled with Peter Sherman who I listened, paying more attention to traffic spots with my inc to toronto in a few hours. followed by the motts And John Moore on the ride home.


Sitting home now after a long and very hot day, listening to rome online from his show this afternoon that im unable to pick up out on the road

Zoned.....
