Devilishly good fast food

When I worked at McDonald's there was some relatively common combination of food that would total up to $6.66 and a good majority of the people would order extra stuff to change the price.

My boss must have been smarter than I thought...

Edit: What the hell is Penna? I assume it's tax, but what does it stand for?

Yes, because Satan has nothing better to do than sit around and wait for 666 to appear in random places.

I wonder if it has to be in base 10 too? Is 1232 also bad? (666 converted to base 8)
Or what if I'm already dealing with base 8, and I write out 666? That's 438 in base 10.

Or just in the price, it's 6.66 - the sixes are separated by a decimal. Does that still count? How far apart do the sixes have to be for it to not summon Satan?
What if I say 6666? Then what?
How about 999?

Silly number superstitions. :awe:

4
13
666

Take your pick.

what's funny is that 666 really isn't the number of the beast.
in hell, everything is upside down.. so 999 is the real number.

That's why everything shitty in retail is 9.99
 
Or another one - does it have to be spelled out explicitly as 666?
What if I do 666-1=?
25²+√49+34=?

If I type 666², does that mean I get cursed an additional 666 times, or 443556 times?

Well sure, but Gary Larson already addressed this - the guy who painted the address over the door simply had the darn work order upside-down.
 
condensed version

"It is remarkable that the Romans did not use all the letters of their alphabet as did the Hebrews and Greeks. They used only six letters, D, C, L, X, V and I. And it is still more remarkable, and perhaps significant, that the sum of these amounts to 666:-

D = 500
C = 100
L = 50
X = 10
V = 5
I = 1
Total 666

"The number 666 has another remarkable property. It is further marked as the concentration and essence of 6 by being the sum of all the numbers which make up the square of six. The square of six is 36 (6 multiplied by 6 = 36); and the sum the numbers 1 to 36 = 666. i.e.

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 ... etc up to +33+34+35+36 = 666.

2 cheesburgers for 2.50? Should have gotten the double cheeseburger for a buck.

No,....and I know I'll get flamed for this. (flame-broiled, perhaps?)
I prefer more of the surrounding burger stuff per unit beef. I generally find beef itself to be rather flavorless. A double burger = more plain beef versus other ingredients = less flavor.


It's just another small battle in my ongoing War on Flavor. 😛



1332>>1 = 😱
 
I can't remember what the meal was, but when I worked at a Subway there would be some lunch meal that came to 6.66. The meal of the beast. 😛

what is this from?
Only used 6 letters? Huh?
I'm seeing this as Roman numerals... where's M?
Or... is this not numerals in general but something else?

I've always read that those 6 letters were the only ones out of their alphabet the Romans used. It could be bullshit, but it fits in nicely with this 666 thread. CONSPIRACY!
