KFC just reinforced my theory as to why Americans are always going to be fat

I went to KFC this evening cause I didn't feel like making anything myself for dinner. Yes, it was too hard. I would have had to either boil water (still haven't mastered that skill yet) or put a frozen pizza into the oven (THAT thing gets HOT).

Well, I wanted some chicken and two pieces of corn on the cob. Simple. Well, in order to buy one corn on the cob, it costs 99 cents. So, using my advanced math skills, it would have cost me...um...(thinks a while)...(pulls out a calculator)...um, about 2 bucks. Well, on the cash register is a sign that states: "4 corn on the cob for $2". So, I could buy 2 corn on the cob for $2, or I can buy 4 corn on the cob for $2. Let's do that math...um, well, you get the point.

So, I order 4 because it's "a bargain". That's the problem right there. We Americans don't think right. Instead of, hey, 4 corn on the cob are too much for me to eat, and I'm certainly not going to save it for another day (see my description on the whole boiling the water thing mentioned previously). So, I have to eat 4 corn instead of 2 corn, because to do otherwise is to waste food, and because someone's mother once said that there are poor children starving in Africa, Americans are supposed to eat all of their food. Yeah, I haven't figured out the logic of that one even to this day.

So, rather than lower the price of EACH corn on the cob, they get you to buy more than you need. And we all just got a little bigger at the prospect.

Of course, you can be of a couple, but couples don't go to KFC. It's dorky single guys like me, so there.

Stumble It!
