reasons why the mcdonald's free coffee promotion is not as great as it sounds: a dialogue

1. cory: you know why this promotion is stupid? because they're not discounting anything else on the menu. so when you go in for breakfast in the morning and you get an egg mcmuffin meal, you're still paying the same price you always are. so the coffee is really not free at all.
2. me: okay, but what if we were just out shopping or something and wanted a coffee? we could just go into mcdonald's and walk out with a free one.
   cory: remember today when you saw that commercial on tv for a whopper? and then wouldn't shut up until i took you to burger king? do you really think you could walk into a mcdonald's and walk out with just a coffee?
   me: touché.
