    If you're ordering the basket and the drink separately, instead of the bundled combo price -- ANYWHERE -- Jesus tapdancing Christ.  I'm not a regular fast-food eater, but come on, man....that's been the way fast-food menus have worked for 20 years.

     

    And I'm 90% confident that the $6.29 price you are quoting IS the Combo price:

     

    I haven't been to Chick-fil-a in some time, but they used to be cheaper if you bought everything individually instead of in a combo. It was only somewhere between 10 and 20 cents, but it was pretty ingenious. Normal instinct is to order the combo. 

  2. Someone goofed, then. According to their website, current menu prices for a 4-piece chicken or steak finger basket with drink is $6.49, unless you get the 6-piece combo, with drink for $7.89. Maybe when you ordered the Blizzard, they figured you and the kids were already getting enough calories with the 6-finger baskets and ice cream, and did you a favor. 

     

    (Brisket beat me to it.)

    Took my 2 kids to eat at DQ on Saturday. 2 chicken finger baskets, one steak finger basket, 3 blizzards, and no drinks was $35. That's kind of steep for a drive through joint. 

    The chicken and steak finger baskets come with fries, gravy and toast. You didn't need the $5 Blizzards. You could've got out of there for $20. Not really that steep. 

  4. Every one mentioned, so far, are great. One I always enjoy, while not at that level, is the COPs episode, where there are chasing after a suspected werewolf, with the COPs camera crew following them around. Just a lot of fun.

    Late 90’s. Dragworms in the early 90’s.

    Yep. It was dragworms when it was older bums selling PCP-laced joints of dirt weed to you for 2 bucks a pop. As it transitioned into younger, heroin-addict kids, the term became drag rats.

  6. As a kid, my dad would take me fishing and set cans of Beanie Weenies and Vienna sausages on the back of the boat so the sun would heat them up and be warm by lunch. He also doused all the plastic worms we used in anise oil to cover our scent from the fish. When he opened up the cans and served lunch, everything had a licorice taste. Ugh.
