On a recent drive-through episode, Connor and I decided that there is a great injustice taking place in our country. Connor pointed out that it is not fair that he gets a treat with his kid's meal, but grown-ups get nothing - but the bill, of course. So we started brainstorming. Connor suggested Thomas trains and Matchbox cars - big surprise there. It got me thinking. There are all sorts of great little treats with which the fast food chains could delight adults. Miniature lotions or shave gels. A nail file or small roll of duct tape. A piece of fruit, a chocolate truffle or even just a little mint. Don't we deserve a treat, too?What other good ideas do you have for grown up meal prizes?

how about get my order correct and charge a couple bucks less? Well, as long as we are dreaming...
Two Milano cookies in a package. :-)
Another reason to love Sonic, peppermints for everyone with every order. Even if you are just getting a drink!
I liked the chocolate covered espresso beans they would give at Coffee People. Do they still do that?
Some places give me a dog treat for my pooch, that's kind of nice.
And punch cards are pretty cool.
But I'm with Cheryl. I'd drive across town for a free cookie.
McDonald's actually ran a promotion month ago that included a DVD of yoga moves (performed by an animated character none the less) with the purchase of a salad combo lunch. I never bought the combo because I was a little afraid of the prize. :)
I think you are onto something here. I saw once a company that put a small CD on the top of a drink (the straw ran through the center of the CD) and it included some music. I thought that was a good idea.
Well, do we count the Monopoly pieces as a prize? Maybe we could call that potential prize.
Does anyone remember the LA Olympics and McDonald's scratch cards? If the US got a medal in that event you got free food. Man, I seemed to win something every time. Guess they lost money on that one because I haven't seen it since then.
Don't get me started on the 1 minute or your meal is free--that was a good gift. They lost money on that one too.
ohhhhh Sonic
One of the few reasons I was excited to get home after this summer.
I hear there is one going up in Hillsboro.....lucky ya'll.
