OT: Cookie Deal at KFC

I did the rollout, and it provides one more example of how we humans can easily overlook the top play. It said to buy neither the chicken nor the cookies, and that if you buy the biscuits, it's a blunder. (That blunder, among other things, expands if you actually eat them.) The right play is to walk down the street to the nearest Indian vegetarian place and eat some actual food.
My story along these lines: I went to the McD for breakfast during the Chicago tournament this past May, already probably making an equity error by playing Frogger running across four lanes of traffic to get there. I didn't want any processed meat, but there were no meatless options, so I asked for a Bacon Egg and Cheese McGriddles with no bacon. Back home I would usually get at least a small discount for it being meatless, but there they charged me full price. It was only after I paid that I noticed that the Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddles was 10 cents cheaper.
So, I could have saved 10 cents by ordering it with no sausage instead of no bacon. I told people back in the playing room about this equity error I'd made, and the techie types did a SMH but the philosophy major types found it hilarious.
