Buy a Quarter, Get a Quarter, For a Quarter

Noone should be eating fast food on a regular basis but in these tought economic times we are facing, it can be tempting to get a full meal for under $5. McDonalds ran a special February 17th if you bought a quarter pounder you got a second for only a quarter.

The quarter pounder has been a staple of McDonalds menu since the early 70s. Its made up of a 1/4 lb burger, two slices of cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun.

I ended up eating two burgers today and while it was delicious to eat "bad" food, i could not believe that I had consumer 1,100 calories and 50 grams of fat. But it was nice to have lunch for $3 and save some money, I'll just have to work out a little longer tonight to burn off those extra calories.
