Despite the author's overuse of the word "fail," this article is pretty entertaining. I remember some of these, but others are completely new. And I would never, ever eat lobster purchased from McDonalds.

I think the new leaders in the "gimmicks" to sell product are Pizza Hut and Coors. Pizza Hut has a new pizza of some sort every other week. Coors has such innovations as vented cans and blue mountains to tell you when the beer is cold.

going with the word overuse:

anyone else get the urge to punch people in the gut who use internet slang in actual conversations ("fail", "fml", anything to do with those cat posters)?

I love taco bell ... but seafood is where I draw the line, if we're going to keep our relationship pure.

A guy that I used to work with had the annoying habit of using the phrase "I can has (insert object)?" 10-15 times a day. Considering that the appropriate number of uses per day for that particular phrase is zero, he was excruciatingly maddening.

He sat right by the kitchen area, so when people would get their lunches, it gave him plenty of opportunities to interject with "I can has cheeseburger?" or "I can has tunafish?" I seriously wanted to punch him in the face every time he said it.

I hate most acronyms but "fml" may be the one I hate the most.

Good lord yes, yes I do. "Fail" has become such an overused internet meme, and it was barely funny in the first place. Websites like failblog where people now photoshop images into fails is probably the worst offender.

Testifying
Where I'm from the Hardees became a Hardees/Green Burrito, which didn't go over very well.
Hardees also quit selling fried chicken, which was rather good.

I think the McDonalds should always have the McRib on the menu.

I also remember the popcorn and food delivery at BK, that was rather odd.
