I was sitting in front of the television tonight watching smallville and a McDonald’s commercial came on. Once again a commercial stating what you can and can’t do with a $1.00. The lightbulb kicked on. They claim in these commercials that you can actually buy stuff for $1.00, but you can’t. Yes, they have a $1.00 menu, but they charge you a dine tax or a carryout tax, so no matter what you are still not getting anything for only a dollar. So here’s what I suggest. On Saturday the 27th I say we all walk into our local McDonald’s and demand that they sell us a chicken sandwich for exactly $1.00. It would seem to me if they don’t it’s false advertising, isn’t it?
Who’s with me?!?

You couldn’t pay me to eat at McD’s…
I do agree, though, that if an ad says something costs that much, that is what you should be paying. Either that, or it should specify IN LARGE PRINT, that you have to pay whatever nuisance tax they charge.
I’m staying at home and eating a salad…

If I actually liked McDonald’s, I would do it. But I can’t stand their food :-(.
