Not Fooling Anyone

Diet Pepsi is favorite drink of mine. When I order fast food on the road, I usually do the stupid thing and get the large size meal. But always with a Diet Pepsi.

I am well familiar with the joke. I am sure that the restaurant employees and many of you out there have or will remark on the humor of it in your minds. Look at that: he's large sizing and trying to be cute, thinking he can offset all those extra calories and saturated fats by drinking a diet pop.

I'm know I'm not. Joke all you want, I do it because I like the taste of Diet Pepsi. That's really all there is to it.

Quiet Ron.

Upsized road trips

On the road again...
During a sales trip through Indiana and up into Marshall, Michigan yesterday, I began looking for a place for lunch. As I hadn't eaten at a good old Kentucky Fried Chicken for awhile, I opted for KFC.
Now, I know of course that I don't need any extra food, especially when it's starchy or deep fried. Yet that didn't stop me from asking if the meals could be upsized. "No sir, they just are what they are," the cashier told me.
"Okay, give me the number 4 please," I said.
She began tapping keys on the register. Quickly she asked, "For a dollar would like to add extra potato wedges?"
I love KFC's potato wedges, so in spoken word I replied excitedly, "Yes, please." But in the silent words of my mind I asked, "Then there is a way to upsize the meals, isn't there?"
I mean, really. She didn't know that when I first brought it up?
