McD's was offering a free chicken sandwich with a med or lg drink purchase. However, this particular McDonald's declared that only soft drink purchasers qualified for sandwiches.

Hardee's has a promotion of their own to counter McDonald's Southern Style Chicken Biscuit promotion yesterday. The folks at Hardee’s are pretty cocky about their Chicken Fillet Biscuit. Confidant enough to announce that they will give every customer who doesn't agree that their Chicken Fillet Biscuit is the best a full refund of the purchase price. The “Chicken Biscuit Challenge” runs until...

Right now at McDonald's, they are running this promotion where they'll give you a free Big Mac if you can do the Big Mac Chant in less than 4 seconds. The Big Mac Chant is "Two All-Beef Patties, Special Sauce, Lettuce, Cheese, Pickles, Onions On A Sesame Seed Bun!" After seeing countless McDonald's ads on the blogs I read, I actually got pretty hungry and headed down to McD's in 3rd...

Obama should be happy to know that McDonald's is now thriving in Baku, with four locations, including one in the swanky, central Fountain Square. Every day Baku's growing elite, clad in the most ostentatious plastic outfits that money can buy, parade in and out while techno music is pumped through the speakers, giving the place more the feel of a nightclub than a fast-food joint. Speaking of...

Free is a great word all by itself, but when you pair it with another word or short phrase it becomes beautiful. One of my favorite pairings with free is "with purchase," (such fond memories of Clinique Bonus) but that's not the purpose of today's post. Today free is paired with food, two of America's premier fast-food franchises, Dunkin Donuts and McDonald's ( NYSE:MCD ), are giving away free food....

EatHam: What do they do, smack you upside the head with a Bible when you walk in or something? I've never been to one, but really, what's with the hate, do they go all jehovah's witness on you when you order or something? Or do they just give you your food, take your money, and leave you alone, you just hate religion that much?I dislike corporations that are proud of their close relationships to disgusting...

What is this world coming to? It seems that every time I turn around, some restaurant, ice cream parlor, or donut shop is offering me free food. How is a man to spend money in this environment? How is a man to live? Yes, you read it right – both McDonald's Corporation ( NYSE:MCD ) and Dunkin Donuts are giving away free food today, May 15. It's bad enough that two weeks ago I was compelled to...

I was waiting in line this morning at McDonald's for one of their new chicken biscuits (which are so good, it's as if God himself decided to make a chicken biscuit), when I realized the line hadn't moved for a couple of minutes. Looking towards the counter, I saw that the woman in the front of the line was having some sort of argument with the cashier. I couldn't make out what the problem was,...
