Free Burgers for Life — If you return those giant Sponge Bobs!! Why don’t they make these things and sell them instead. I’d buy one for my house roof. Apparently they are being stolen from everywhere.
This is from the Press Release:
MIAMI, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ — Burger King Corporation today announced it
is offering a reward of BURGER BUCKS(R) good for a one-year’s supply of
Original WHOPPER(R) sandwiches for information leading to the safe return of
missing SpongeBob SquarePants inflatables. The gigantic blow-up figures began
popping up on tops of BURGER KING(R) restaurants on November 11, 2004 and have
been recently disappearing from their lofty perches across the nation.These incredibly fun and amazingly yellow blow-up figures are part of the
largest inflatable promotion in the history of the Quick Service Restaurant
industry, with just over 4,700 BURGER KING(R) restaurants playing home to a 9-
foot inflatable SpongeBob SquarePants. These inflatables are a larger-than-
life reminder that BURGER KING(R) restaurants currently offer a number of
collectible toys and watches featuring SpongeBob and Friends. However, even
these toys and watches are disappearing at an alarming rate, through both
mundane and mysterious means, from BURGER KING(R) restaurants everywhere.
Every woman in America shoud have a Giant sponge bob in the kitchen.
This story reminds me of my college days, when the actual golden buddha statue in front of the Golden Buddha restaurant would mysteriously disappear and reappear on top of the student center. 🙂
Won’t this program encourage more people to steal the SpongeBobs, and then return them for hamburgers?
It’s like the Dilbert comic where the boss offers to pay $10 for each bug the programmers find, even though the programmers themselves create the bugs.
