I’m guessing the drive thru is a huge factor as to why people still do fast food. What I find curious is that for all the news about increases in fast food prices, nobody seems to mention that portions are getting smaller as well, making fast food an even worse value than portrayed.

Shoot, I’ll buy the fun international stuff to keep, and give out the mini Snickers bars lol

This was SUCH a colossal fuckup that I can’t help but wonder if dude shorted his stock before making the announcement 

Well, IMO, The Kotick Problem may be inadvertently addressed with this merger, but it will definitely create a new one--the scope of which will be larger, because it’s happening to a larger company.
