Tried the new chicken sandwich

Filed under: Food,General Living,Shopping — Copa @ 7:16 am

I was out on the road and it was lunch time; I was hungry so I pulled into a McDonald’s restaurant. I saw that they have a new country-fried chicken sandwich at a reasonable price, so I decided to order it. I ordered it as a value meal, with fries and a drink. I was surprised when I got it that the were no condiments on the sandwich at all, just a hunk of fried chicken and a slice of pickle on a bun.

There were no packets of mayonnaise “out” for the customers to grab a packet, and there were no salt packets out, either. No salt or pepper shakers on the tables, either. That was a little bit annoying because I had to get back in line to ask for mayo and salt! The sandwich was “ok” but nothing special. I could see that they were trying to compete with the chik-filet chicken sandwich, and I have to admit that it seemed to be just about the same in taste, although I think the piece of chicken was smaller.

Cool Star Wars Gadget

Filed under: Family,General Living,Shopping — Copa @ 7:12 am

My brother is a huge Star Wars fan. He collects everything he can find that relates to Star Wars! Well, his birthday is coming up soon and I just found the coolest Star Wars gadget to buy for his birthday that he is going to LOVE! It is a Darth Vader USB Hub! How cool is that? His head moves from side to side and he makes that raspy breath sound. It’s under $80 and I found it at the geeks4u.com website! I also found the cutest little R2D2 USB hub that they sell that I’d like to buy for myself, but that will have to wait a while. I have to budget my money carefully in this rotten economy! But I’ve definitely bookmarked the site to go back later when I have the money saved up for that little guy!
