Word Game




I was in Chick-Fil-A the other day and I was looking at a poster of their Ice Dream desert treat. I was reading all of these descriptive adjectives like "delicious," "tasty," "satisfying," (okay that last one was a joke) and how I thought that it would alter my previous thinking about it. And I decided that, well, if someone wants an ice cream cone while they're at Chick-Fil-A, they're going to get one whether or not they see the sign that says they are delicious. And would a restaurant advertise something that was pungent or uncouthly produced? The safe answer is: probably not, at least they wouldn't describe it that way to prospective clients.

So I started playing mad lib with the advertisement. And I thought, what if each of those food-related terms were replaced with something completely odd. "Yes, I'd like a comfortable Chick-Fil-A sandwich with a side of muscular waffle fries, a moral--yet homely-- Coca-Cola Classic to drink, and a medium, baggy shake." It's my pleasure...
