First off, I must admit that I have not crossed the threshold of a McDonald's since I saw
that scene in the DVD extras of Supersize Me where the order of McDonald's french fries stored in a glass jar showed absolutely no signs of decomposition after 10 weeks.
Tracy Moore wrote a post about a similar experiment with a Happy Meal last year. The thought of those fiberglass fries, which I used to love so much, sitting in my stomach while my body fought to reject them turned me off to the Golden Arches for good. Or so I thought.
Mickey D's may have discovered the weakness that could convince me to sell out all my convictions: free coffee. From today until February 14, participating Middle Tennessee McDonald's locations are offering a free small coffee all day, any day of the week. All you have to do is ask for it. There is no clear notification of which restaurants are "participating Middle Tennessee McDonald's locations," but if your closest House of Ronald isn't a part of the promotion, I guess you're just french fry out of luck.
