McDonald's Monopoly Game is CRAP!!

Anyone who knows me is aware that I am at McDonald's every day. Heck, sometimes twice a day. It started with Hays. That girl loves her some french fries. And if she said "French fries" then we went...right that second. We did this because we wanted to positively reinforce her using her words. Unfortunately, Madden began to think we should go to McDonald's every day because this was our routine. UUUUGGGGHHHH! Let's just move past the obvious health concerns with the daily consumption of fries and nuggets (oh, an the occasional apple dipper), and focus on the monopoly game. Usually, I don't pay attention to this little scheme because I end up with little game pieces everywhere. But my dad pointed out that the odds were on our side. So, Tom and I began in earnest.

We went, as usual, to McDonald's getting our regular fare and collecting our game pieces. We would lay them out on our game board (good grief) but we were always missing the elusive "Boardwalk" for the million dollar prize. But we kept at it, RELIGOUSLY! Now it appears the game is over. No big announcement on McDonald's part, just the slow trickle of large cups without the game piece on it. May they all fry in their own tubs of grease and be forced to watch "Super Size Me" on a continuous loop!

I hate McDonald's...I long for the day that my kids will finally tire of their "food". I am, of course, assuming that my kids do have a limit to their fry addiction.
