Note the not-so-subtle message: Eat more. Spend more. You are a sucker for ordering a normal-sized portion (medium). Nota bene: There is no small on the menu at BK.
Burger King is giving away Amazon.com cash cards. You can order an obscenely large portion of fries or onion rings and get a card (valued from $1 to $10,000), or you can send a self-addressed stamped envelope (2 stamps = 2 x $.37 = $0.74 + 2 envelopes) to the address below and they’ll send you one. There’s no limit on how many requests you can send, but they have to be handwritten and in separate outer envelopes. The address is:
Official Cash Card Request
PO Box 1286
Elmhurst, IL 60126-1286
Deadline is 7/31. There’s a slightly better than 1/2000 chance that you’ll get more than $1 on your card, which means you’re probably only going to be netting $0.25 for each offer you send in (assuming the cost of envelopes is negligible).
Reading your statistic of probability for that free offer totally reminds me of Lazlo from Real Genius–remember that movie?
Haven’t seen that one. Is it worth Netflixing?
Only if you get in an unusually nostalgic mood for tab cola, bunny slippers, Val Kilmer, and Tears for Fears . . . .
Seriously though, I think it’s a good movie.
