Bad Times ≠ Complimentary Lemon Slice

While surfing the net yesterday, I came across a standard popup McDonald’s ad (below).  I wondered, why would they need all that small fine print at the bottom?  The fine print says “©2009 McDonald’s.®  $1 only available ala carte.  Ounces refer to average content filled.  Lemon available upon request.  Price and participation may vary.”

What?  You don’t automatically get a lemon slice.  This is the kind of stuff that I just can’t stand – a hugely wealthy company can’t bother to include something very basic, just like those car ads where if you read the fine print, the car in the ad comes with most options installed but when you order a car from the company, you need to ask the manufacturer to include cup holders.  Arrgh.  This stuff really grinds my gears…

  1. Their tea tastes like slurried shit n piss. Don’t forget your slice of insecticide-pumped lemon, its what brings this savory drink up from 1¢ to 1$
