How about really good products that failed miserably, because people can't math? Like A&W's 1/3 pound burger. People bought McD's over A&W because, "1/3 of a pound is less than 1/4 of a pound, because 4 is bigger than 3." Seriously.

BEHOLD….. The FIVE FIFTEENTHS BURGER!!!!!

Muahahahahajajahahaha! Suck it, Ronald, you failed clown.

Meh, I don't eat at Chick Fil-A. The family-owned deli down the street has a better chicken sandwich, and they don't slather it with terrible politics.

We travel up to Northern WI every summer (picking up my folks on the way, and my Mom loves Culvers).

With My Mom it was Long John Silvers. We’d get her and she’d make rice and soup and salad and then go get LJS for the main course.

Then she moved down here and it kinda, eventually, lost its shine for her.

My mom's real favorite is Cracker Barrel... but no one has time for that on a road trip!

Ya know, if that advice of yours gets me into trouble I'm going to be quite put out.

Advice is worth what you pay for it.

Which is why I pay celebrities to read me my own advice using Cameo! I mean, I'm telling myself what I want to hear, but I'm paying a pretty penny for it. Plus, Robert Picardo (aka Doctor Hologram) needs a new beach house.

In the court of my personal opinion, that's not going to hold up.

This reminds me of the time JC Penneys got a new CEO who was like "enough with false advertising and deceptive sales!" So they stopped doing what all department stores do (that is, mark clothing at twice its value and then sell them for "half off") and for their better business practice they were rewarded with record profit losses because customers were upset nothing was on "sale" anymore.

Let’s not emulate them then?

I have to admit that "Vote Your Own Adventure: Cantina Party Challenge" might be fun with the right group.
