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?? 
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..

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...

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.

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
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...

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

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

I'm not a fan of 5 guys either.. The only time I ever ate there it was like the dunked the bun in grease before making the burger. The fries were soggy as shit and you could practically ring the grease out of them. The paper bag that it came in was completely soaked in grease.
I like greasy food as much as the next unhealthy as fuck American, but there's a limit, and they went way passed that limit.

The one here is amazing, the fries are never soggy and they are some of the best fries I've ever had too. And the burgers are fucking delightful.

That's like the equivalent of 2 raw potatos Like a 1000% mark up, they had better be the best fries you ever had for that price. But I have a feeling that that is probably not the case. Though when Arbys does the four roast beefs for 5$ that's a pretty good deal, but I won't buy them at retail unless I get a real craving for one.

the market fresh sandwiches arn't that bad, pretty good bread for fast food and the ingredients seemed fairly good. I stopped eating there tho when some asshole didn't bother to take the paper off the cheese one time. like how the fuck are you so dumb to leave the paper on, had to be some dumb little kid who did it on purpose

Yeah I was only talking about the roast beef all those others they have seem pretty un-appetizing. I'd really not have some weird made-up sauce on my sandwich.

I love stealing those mugs. The onion rings there have gone downhill but that chipotle burger was pretty good. You would have got sick of it in a few months though, you know you would. I don't why we don't chipotles in Canada. We also don't have White Castle, Jack in the box, Checkers etc. Licks burgers in Ontario is pretty good for a chain. Now I want some Mc ribs
