Those northerly neighbors sure got their ship together. Tonight we went to the Burger King in Manchester, NH for dinner. I picked up a copy of the official rules for their current Star Wars promotion and read a few sections. Aparently, unlike in the United States, up in Canada not just anyone can walk up to the counter at their local Burger King and redeem a winning “free food” game piece. Oh no. It can’t be that easy. The official rules for the Burger King “Choose Your Destiny” game make it impossible for certified morons or 1st graders to redeem winning game pieces in which food is a prize.

Check out the highlighted passage from their official rules (full size available):

My question is this. Can any Burger King employee validate the answer to the mathematical question, or do you have to be in management to be able to do that? Now if only the United States would hold its Burger King employees to these high standards!

Can you imagine walking into a Burger King, coupon in hand, only to get your testing sheet back with a big red F at the top? Sorry, no soup for you.

By the way, in case you were wondering… the odds of winning the $1 million prize or the $100,000 Sony Shopping Spree are 1:152,024,297. Void where prohibited or when you can’t figure out which train arrives at its destination first.
