Limited edition promotion food WHY??
    #22340724 - 10/06/15 11:37 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Like since a month I've been pretty much addicted to those chipotle burgers for dinner from a place I won't name cause I now hate them. Pretty much best thing I ever ated and suddenly they are getting those off the menu. I can't even have chipotle sauce in a normal burger even if they have other things with chipotle sauce in their menu . I personally will never go there again .im mad as fck what is the point of doing that?? :fatfear:

So why do restaurant, fast food have those Promotion?? Piss off people??

They normally do it to test the waters on a new product. If its a real hit, they'll turn it into a long term product... if it doesn't do well and isn't as profitable, they kick it..

Pretty simple

Not only that, but because it can also become a seasonal thing and rake in BIG dough. Like that starbucks pumpkin spice shit. That always makes them tons of money.

But really it comes down to one thing OP... :money:

most time its the mc rib effect where they sell triple the amount they would if they had it on the menu in like a week by bringing it back or whatever. if people didnt think it was limited and exclusive and ate it all the time they'd realize how shitty it actually is.

I think the seasonal thing for sure is big profit. If they had it year round it wouldn't be as sellable... but that limited time offer drives a "demand" for it and they can normally sell it at a higher price, too.

$$$$$

Where is this place that has the chipotle burger? I'm gonna have to go grab one if they're awesome enough to get someone this irate. I know you said you weren't gonna say, but say damnit.

Usually all those promotional burgers suck ass. The only place I've ever found to have a good amount of decent limited time only burgers is Whataburger.

actually the mcrib has a lot to do with pork prices
the mcrib is almost always being made
but the locations follow the pork price trends

ok its A&W, it was the mama burger maple something, it was with maple syrup , but you have to say no syrop. and its epic as shit.

it was like perfectly spicy and perfectly salted with the chipotle sauce fried jalapenos plus beacon and onions and white cheese cant belive its gone :kummeli:

plus its not even the first time they do this to me ,4 years ago was when i first discovered chipotle sauce there in another promotion. was called spicy mama.

maybe this is just a seasonal thing and it will come back right? right??

i think im having some chipotle withdrawals... :fuckthisshit:

IS there A&W in USA?

I think it's Canadian. Maybe I'm wrong.

We don't have a whole lot of the good shit you guys have though, it sucks and always pisses me off.

Yeah they're in the US, even in my state. Problem is the closest one is like an 1.5 hour drive from here. Sorry but no fast food is worth that. Not unless it costs under 4 dollars for a full meal and makes me shit solid gold.

yea even tho without the chipotle burgers its really not that great. you can get onions rings instead of fries and when you eat there you get big frozen mug to drink your rootbeer ,other then that pretty basic shitty fast food, plus its pretty expensive the chipotle burgers was 5 buck each

you guys have the real chipotle (the burito place) , our canadian version sucks ass, cant even get ground beef in my burito because it would be copying the american chipotle, not kidding :shocked:

Chipotle actually sucks IMO. Very bland and uninspiring. "Real" Mexican fast food restaurants are pretty plentiful in Texas. By real, I mean not Taco Bell. All of their stuff blows Chipotle out of the water. The place doesn't even really seem that busy (it just opened some months back). I don't expect it to last long.

Yeah that's definitely not worth a 1.5 hour drive.

Personally I used to like A&W a lot many years ago but recently I've tried it and really wasn't impressed. I dunno if it's different or something now or if it was just because I was stoned a lot more when I used to eat it.


My favourite burger place right now we have around here is five guys burgers and fries, but it's fucking expensive here in Canada. Burger is like 9-10$$ and that's no fries or drink :shrug:
