Tangentially on topic, McDonalds used to have a special once a week where they'd sell cheeseburgers for $0.35 or hamburgers for $0.25. I would, from time to time, walk into the place with fifteen dollars in my pocket (and two co-workers, as they put a limit on how many one person could buy), and walk out with a sack o' sixty neatly wrapped hamburgers.

I'd bring them back to the office, and simply start tossing them at people in their cubicles (or in the parking lot from a moving vehicle if they were unlucky enough to be walking past when I pulled in), and basically just feed the entire building.

I don't think they intended that to happen with their little loss-leader deal to get folks in the door, but it sure was fun. It caught on too. If you haven't had a sack of 20 warm burgers dumped into your lap while you weren't paying attention, you haven't lived.



I do something similar from time to time at bottomlessburgers.com.

The way it works is simple: you pay me a fixed price, like $6 or $10, and show up at a particular restaurant at a particular time. My partner and I order hamburgers and cheeseburgers and you get to have as many as you want.
