Kick Ass Deael. Hope I don't find any body parts in my Frosty!

Uh, right. Did you see the story last week on the news about the guy who got a finger in his frosty? I'm not kidding! It think it was a frozen custard dessert in a drive-through. This one wasn't a hoax. A worker was dumping a bucket of stuff and he lost his grip and when he tried to retrieve the falling bucket, part of his finger was lopped off. This is true! By the time they'd attended to the poor guy, they'd failed to retrieve the missing piece of his anatomy. The guy who found it in his lunch said he screamed!

My suggestion, honestly, for the Wendy's thing is if you are in the neighborhood, go on by and check it out. If the line's too long, skip it. They did this a few weeks ago but I wasn't in the neighborhood. I think it's very smart of them to do good will promotions now. They were losing 1/2 a million bucks a day in revenues when that whole caper was simmering. That woman's in deep doo doo.

Heck yes!

it's essentially the same as chocolate soft-serve icecream

HA! That must be where the rest of the body parts are.

Here's the link:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/06/finger.fight.ap/index.html

1. It was at a Kohl's Frozen Custard store in Wilmington, NC. Not a Wendy's.
2. It was found in a drive-thru order for frozen chocolate custard. Not a Frosty.
3. The link above also details on how the finder *REFUSED* to give the fingertip back for re-attachment.
4. The finger originally (heh) belonged to a Brandon Fizer (23 y.o). Clarance Stowers was the finder.

I got my Free Frosty Jr. during lunch-hour. About a 5 minute wait. No hassles, although the person behind the counter was kinda surprised that that's all I wanted...

Also, let's not forget that this is intended to generate positive Public-Relations between Wendy's and the general population. In that sense, I say it's a success.

I never understood why people think these are deals. It's like the Ben & Jerrys free ice cream day, I drive by and there's a line wrapped around the building so you can get a free $2.49 ice cream or whatever. I'd pay the $2.49 to cut to the front of the line its not worth it. I guess it's just like "the thing to do" or whatever..

Lemmings. Sheep. It's the American way!

Look at your local interstate any given morning. Or any fashion "trend". Ot the magnetic "Support Our Troops" ribbons on the back of every pseudo-patriotic Bush-marketed redneck's car. If you put dog crap in a cone and hired 50 people to stand in line for it, 500 others would show up for the free crapfest.

But, it's fun and amusing to watch. If we're being observed by otherworldly races, it must be the greatest comedy in their lineup

Wow...you sure are one miserable person. My advice to you.......cut vertically

what are you guys talking about? His post was probably one of the most accurate that will ever go up on this board.

While I agree w/ the support our troops bit, the B&J's free ice cream one is kind of stupid... I spent around 1-2 minutes in line for that with a bunch of my friends, got my free ice cream, ate it with my friends. I don't know what else I would have done with the ~15 minutes the whole thing took. Probably would have spent time with my friends, just minus free ice cream. I guess I'm confused when he says "it's not worth it," because I don't see any particularly important alternative uses of 15 minutes of one's time. Well, besides taking the time to threadcrap, of course. :roll:

It's hot here today. I enjoyed my free frosty. Thanks OP!
