thanks Pete. Taht's why I labeled it "off topic" so serious gamblers like yourself would not have to be bothered with it.Pete Rose JR said:
Oh wait, wasn't that you whining about a contest entry here yesterday, gee, maybe that should have been in the contest board (just kidding).
More a pop culture issue than sports, i agree. Just made me sick seeing her, expecially her saggy cleavage.
There are WAY too many threads in main forum with nothing to do with gambling to single out this one. Plus like he said...It says OT right in the topic which is very good of the thread starter to include.
Now if he said "What are they thinking" and you open the thread and it's not gambling related then you have a right to *****...but if you use OT in the thread title... Can't really *****... just don't click
The off-topic forum here is flammable so most don't want to go in there.

Couple returns Burger King's $2,631 deposit

ROCHESTER — After going through the drive-through at Burger King Friday, a local woman discovered that instead of the sweet tea and junior spicy chicken sandwich that she ordered, she got a bag full of money.
Rather than keeping the cash — totaling $2,631 — she came back to the restaurant with her husband and returned it.
Around 4:30 p.m. Friday, Janelle Jones, of Rochester, had ordered a drink and a sandwich at the drive-through of the 250 North Main St. restaurant. She was driving home when she discovered that the sandwich bag was actually full of cash, and there was no food inside.
Jones called her husband, Matthew Jones, who suggested she come home so they could return the money together. At home, the couple inspected the bag and found the cash, most of which was inside two bank deposit bags. There was also a loose $100 bill.
Matthew Jones admitted, “We are not perfect human beings,” and said the couple had considered the possibility of keeping the money, adding they could have certainly used the cash. But he said he and his wife are Jehovah's Witnesses, and that “Jehovah sees everything.”
When they returned the money about an hour later, the employees of the store were extremely thankful, he said.
“It felt a lot better than keeping it,” said Matthew Jones.
Store employees at Rochester's Burger King confirmed the incident but chose not to comment on the story.
“One person said 'they were going to get fired' so it felt good knowing we helped them keep their jobs,” Janelle state in an email.
“A manager told me they would give me five free meals,” Janelle added. “The manager said he talked to the corporate office and they said to tell me 'thank you.'”

[h=1]Burger King tries to reinvent the chicken wheel with ring shaped Chicken Fries[/h]Published April 29, 2016

Burger King is rounding out its chicken lineup with a new version of its popular cult-nugget knockoff- the chicken fry.
Chicken Fries Rings are ring-shaped nuggets, made with all white meat chicken and coated in a lightly spiced, crispy breading.
"It looks like an onion ring but it tastes like, well, chicken."
When it comes to bite sized poultry offerings, we’ve got nuggets, fries, ovals, and even dinosaurs—so do we really need a ring?
The Whopper chain says rings “are the optimal shape for dipping.” We were skeptical but once the breaded bites got into the hands of some younger tasters, we started to see the rationale behind the new shape.
Said one astute Chew on This taster, “I like it cause it’s easier to hold and dip,” said one elementary-school aged girl.
"I just like circles," said a very young taster, who seemed impressed with the novelty of a ring of breaded meat.
Burger King's Chicken Fries were resurrected in 2014 due to their cult-like following. The chain followed that up with a spicy version-- that failed to bring the heat for our tasters-- last year.
Tasters were impressed that beneath the breading, you can really tell you're eating chicken-- not just pink slime or mechanically separated meat. And while not everyone cared about the actual shape, the novelty of something new usually gets your attention.
"Even just changing things up once every in awhile gets people more interested in buying a new product. You get tired of seeing the same old thing," said one taster who said she preferred the ring to traditionally-shaped nuggets.
Despite the novelty shape, Chicken Fries Rings aren’t actually the first rounded chicken nugget to hit the market.
White Castle has been serving their own Chicken Rings since the early 1990s. They even experimented with Ranch and Tabasco flavored varieties in 2006.
But Burger King, which has over 14,000 locations around the world runs circles—we couldn’t help ourselves—around White Castle’s 400 domestic stores.
And to keep up with the ongoing rock-bottom fast food price battle, the chain is also bringing back its 10 nugget deal for just $1.49. But all chicken is pretty cheap these days. Six chicken rings go for $2.89.
Would you take Burger King's Chicken Fries Rings for a spin?

When was the last time you set foot in a Burger King? Been a while? Well, in 2015 it’s “been a while” since a lot of American consumers have visited a BK, and for good reason. After all, the average consumer is not entirely clueless. And human beings in general are calibrated in such a way that they can inherently pick up on the sort of existential malaise your typical BK is now spewing into the atmosphere.
Burger King is a venerable chain with a ton of history behind it. 61 years since its foundation. 40 years spent as the nation’s #2 burger chain behind the unassailable megalith that is McDonald’s. A product like The Whopper that is iconic in its own right. And yet, the BK of 2015 is a multinational corporation in disarray, defined first and foremost by its creative bankruptcy. Simply running through the highlights of the last five years would convince any casual observer of this, starting with the obvious: Burger King is no longer the nation’s #2 burger chain. It was overtaken by Wendy’s back in 2012, and the gap has only increased since then. The two companies are perfect examples of successful vs. stagnant corporate culture; one boldly striding into the future via experimentation, and one struggling through a constant series of copycat product roll-outs and ill-conceived misfires.
