Dairy Queen’s royal Effing

Published by Matt Gondek April 7th, 2008 in Capitalism, advice, food, diet and dinner. 1 Comment

Spring is all up in the air and the birds are chirping. So was I. Chirping last night for a Dairy Queen Blizzard. A Blizzard is a phenominal marriage of ice cream and goodies, usually in the form of crushed up cookies or candy bars.

Kp, my two roommates, and myself made the drive to Dairy Queen last night to partake in some Blizzard noise. Little did we know, that we were stepping face first into a consumer’s worst nightmare.

On the blizzard menu, you now have the option of paying 49 cents more for what they call “extra stuff”. Extra stuff turned out to be the stuff they used to put in the blizzard.

All four of us got the blizzard, and none of us got the “extra stuff”. All four had the same problem. About halfway down, all of the sudden there wasn’t any more stuff. No more cookies.. no more candy bars.. no more sprinkles. It turns out that the “extra stuff” is the stuff that used to be included normally. Now you have to pay extra for what they just used to toss in there.

WTF Dairy Queen. Hot eats cool treats my ass.

I’m not sure how Popeye, a stroke survivor (check his face) and aficionado of spinach, a food that I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to, has managed to emblazen his name on a chainstore that sells chicken. However, he has managed to weasel his way onto a product that will blow you down. It sure is tasty! While Popeye’s chicken will not grant you the temporary ability of super strenth, the kind to thwart Bluto as he tries to kidnap and rape your girlfriend, it will grant you temporary fullness and satisfaction for a low price. Best of all, one has opened up here in Pittsburgh, right in the Southside. I haven’t been able to make it out to this local one due to a severe leg injury with a wheat thresher, but if any of your people out there in internet land has, please share you’re experience. I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow for some chicken today.

My Tongue Has a Threesome

This is the ONLY time of the year where you can enjoy one of the best seasonal treat combos this side of the Mason Dixon line!

I’m talking of course, about dipping a fresh Cadbury egg into a McDonalds Shamrock shake.

Normally, and throughout the rest of the year, I avoid McDonalds like the plague. 85% percent of their menu is made of food whose main ingredient is feces. The shamrock shake however, is unique in that feces is actually it’s eighth ingredient. The Shamrock shake is of an Irish dialect that is imported here only during St. Patricks day times. With each sip, I swear you can taste a hint of leperchaun.

The Cadbury egg is constructed from a rare breed of rabbit found in Central America. These rabbits reproduce asexually in the form of eggs. Chilano farmers then harvest these eggs, dip them in chocolatte, then their tiny little children c..a..r..e..fully wrap each one in tin foil so they don’t crack as their being shipped to your local gas station.

I recomend leaving work right now and picking up a couple dozen cadbury eggs and a few shakes to go along with them as this is the only time you can get both. What are you waiting for?

GO!

Giant eagle is a giant bitch

I only eat a handful of things. Ask my friends. It’s true

1. Chicken
2. Tuna
3. Peas
4. Corn

I’ve been like that as long as I can remember. I eat the same thing for lunch every day. Most of the time I get groceries at Wal-Mart. It’s probably the cheapest place around here to buy good food. However, today I made a mistake.

I was in a rush, and though that I could just “pop in” to the Giant Eagle because it was closer. Then I got really mad. Every single thing in Giant Eagle was ridiculously higher priced. A bag of chicken I get a Wal Mart for $6.00 was $11.00. The 69 cent can of peas and corn at Wal Mart was going for 97 cents at Giant Eagle. I already had the cans of vegatables and tuna in my cart. When I got to the chicken, I just left my cart in the middle of the freezer aisle and walked out. Giant Eagle is an asshole. They charge way to much for their food and EVERY SINGLE person that was working there was either over 70 or had a limb that didn’t function like normal. Their cartboy was in a wheelchair. I’m not kidding. That place has got some problems.

Also. ALSO. Little cards that you swipe at a store for discounts can suck my ass. Giant Eagle has the advantage card. I don’t see the advantage of being an exclusive member of a store which is unable to staff young able bodied people to stock the 11 dollar bags of chicken. I Hate Giant Eagle.

If you ever mention around me that you’re broke and later on I find out that you do your grocery shopping at a Giant Eagle, I’m going to punch you right in the stomach for being an idiot.

 I HATE PETA. I HATE THEM.

I ALWAYS HAVE. Ever since I was younger and playing shows with my old band, those D Bags would come to the shows and pass out those stupid fliers and stickers and stuff.

When I went to the Warped Tour, at least thirty of them would try to cry on my shoulder throughout the day when all I wanted was to listen to the Bouncing Souls.

So what got me so mad this time? Go to the MAIN page of their website… PETA.ORG.   There you can watch a video called “State of the Union Undress”. It’s a four of five minute video where a girl talks about how bad it is to eat meat while she gets COMPLETELY NAKED. I’m not kidding. You see EVERYTHING. How many millions of kids are going to watch this just to see this girl naked… Meanwhile, she’s filling their heads with PETA propaganda. Worst, she undressed REAAALLY slow and their is no fast forward button, so of course you’re going to sit through the entire thing. I can’t believe a MAJOR organization is using nudity now to convey their message.

If you are going to go watch the video, I recomend turning the sound completely off. That way you can screw over PETA by getting the free nudity, but not paying the admission of their B.S.

While you’re watching this dumb girl stripping in silence, you can think about some of the reasons I HATE PETA.

PETA is against ANY AND ALL medicines that use animals. They want to get rid off all animal testing to make new medicines that will save human lives. However, their vice president takes insulin every day to live. A medicine tested on, and made from, ANIMALS.

During 9/11, Peta wanted to pull volunteers from searching for HUMANS that were trapped and dying in the buildings to go search for dogs and cats.

They fund terrorists. These terrorists BLOW UP and DESTROY buildings where people work.

PETA doesn’t believe that any animal EVER should die, however, they themselves KILL animals right inside their main offices. They have a giant freezer in the office to STORE THE ANIMALS THEY KILL.

The vans PETA drives around has tackle boxes inside full of injections they use to kill animals. PETA went to trail for using these tackle boxes, then dumping the bodies in dumpsters.

PETA doens’t think animals should be used to help humans in any way at all. Goodbye seeing eye dogs, bomb sniffing dogs, drug sniffing dogs….

These are just a handfull of FACTS about Peta. You can learn and see more about how much ass they suck at:
