This is My Life, Really?!

I really am loving it!! February 16, 2010

Awhile ago, after much frustration, I decided that I was going to boycott McDonald’s. I put it on my “I am boycotting this place” list, and had not returned. **Yes, I do have a list of restaurants that I boycott and refuse to give them my patronage~ That’s a story for another day** Well, I am a big HUGE fan of the Olympics, summer and winter, and I have been watching them on NBC religiously since Friday night. **You may think I am exaggerating, but no, I assure you, I am not. I have been bringing my computer to afternoon classes to watch them. Yup, instead of listening about COPD and drugs used for it, I was watching curling.**

In my Olympic watching, I have seen many McDonald’s commercials. And if you’ve not heard read me say type it before, I will right now: I AM THE BIGGEST SUCKER FOR ADVERTISING~ I AM THE REASON WHY THERE ARE COMMERCIALS. I SEE, I WANT, I GO GET ASAP!!!! Yes, now, please also know that I love McDonald’s french fries, love them! And I have a penchant for dipping sauces of all kinds. I collect them, I like them a lot, and I get excited about new ones. So, upon seeing the commercial that advertised for the “new” limited time Sweet Chili dipping sauce, I immediately faced internal conflict. Do I continue my boycott of McDonald’s, or do I give them one more chance to win me back? Talk about inner turmoil. **Yet again, if you have just stopped by or haven’t really read my blog, I am not only the BIGGEST sucker for advertising, but I am IMPULSIVE AS HELL! Pretty sure I don’t anyone that is more impulsive than myself when it comes to purchasing what I want**

Needless to say, I did not allow myself to flounder in the turmoil for long. I decided that everyone deserves a second chance,and my was really just a matter of if I am willing to drop my grudge and stop my boycott to give McDonald’s a second chance  **I’m terrible for holding grudges. The more I write, the more I notice I can’t stay on topic at all, and that I am a very black or white person, I have very few gray areas. What can I say? I am a high-strung, all-or-nothing type of girl** [B] was making fun of my boycotts, yes, I do have several, and calling me spiteful. What?! Spiteful?! ME?!?! Yeah, he was right, my boycott arose out of spite. But I didn’t want him to know that he was right.

Therefore, I waited until I had returned to school on Monday **I need to start thinking of this place as home** After class, I ran to McDonald’s, extra quarters in hand just to be safe, and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich sans bun, fries, and a Diet Coke. I paid at the first window, and after I was given my food at the second window, the girl asked if I needed anything else. I asked for several of the Sweet Chili sauces, and she gave them to me without issue! She didn’t ask for extra money, she didn’t try to limit me by only giving me one, and I didn’t have to launch into my spiel about how my large, bunless piece of chicken was really just a naked chicken nugget on steroids and it isn’t PC of McDonald’s to be sizeist! Giddy does not do justice to my feeling at that moment.

I get home, grab the fries from the bag (while I try to say my chicken=chicken Mcnuggets I do not use the sauce for the chicken, it is for the fries) cautiously pull the sauce from the bag, carefully peel back the plasticy-foily lid, take a fry, dip it in the sauce, ensure that it has a sufficient amount of sauce on it, put it in my mouth, and HEAVEN!!!! This sauce is defuckinglicious!! I do believe that I like it better than Chik-Fil-A’s Polynesian sauce, which I thought would never happen. It is great~ Perfect balance of sweet with a little hint of spice AND it is gluten-free! 😀 Unlike that Sweet and Sour sauce that I used to enjoy, but later regret 😦

 Sadly, it is only around for a limited time~ I just now must make use of the time limit and stock up, I wish they would just sell it in stores **Marketing tip to McDonald’s: Sell your sauces in stores, they will be bought!!!!!!!** I highly suggests that everyone go out and try this sauce, and as long as McDonalds will be carrying this sauce, I will not boycott it. I suppose this is more of a transient truce… And now I have to ask: Is it weird that I am seriously contemplating ordering McNuggets to get the sauce and just not eat the McNuggets so I can get as much of the sauce as possible before it is taken from me?!
