Who's McDonald's Quoting???

I went to McDonald's today at lunch, and while I was eating I was looking at the bag. While looking at the bag, I started noticing these quotes all over. Who just puts random quotes on their bags? Well I guess we know one company that does.

Burning Good Energy . . . ???

Yep, using ellipses ("...") in quotes usually means that something came before the "..." and something after it. So what is this quote omitting? Maybe, "Burning good energy, its from healthy things like vegetables and a low fat diet foods, i'm lovin' it." Or maybe, "Burning good energy is impossible if you eat crap, that's why i'm loving it (this food)." What is good energy? 'Good Energy' on Google brings up power and electricity information. Wait, I've got it, its the opposite of bad energy.

What does this quote even mean?

Usually additional information is supplied to help people understand what the quote is actually about, not in this case. There's no additional information around this quote helps you to understand it. Who anyways, has the authority to give style points? Don't you have to have some sort of style degree or know what style is?

At least one quote makes some sense!

There is one quote which makes some sense. This one is a complete enough sentence. Wow! Here I thought I was going to have to figure out the meaning to all of these without help. I was starting to think this was find the meaning of life game.

What they imply make no sense (much like this sentence).

How does playing basketball and food work together in that sentence? "Playing ball gives me fine form because . . . i'm loving it??? Someone want to even try and fill in the blank between the '. . .', because I don't think its even possible to create a sentence that makes even a fragment of sense out of that.

I'm not against McDonald's at all. I may not agree with some of their ideas and food, but these quotes are out right ridiculous. They aren't cited, explained, or make the lease bit of sense. It must go with the philosophy that if you confuse someone enough, they will come to understand that they will never understand and that's enough understanding to keep them quite.

My Fast Food Pet Peeve

I rather like fast food, but I have one pet peeve that really bugs me. Out of all the things that they could ripe you off on, it has to be a 3 cent drink. Why when you get a drink, do they put 4/5 ice in the cup before they actually fill it up. What do they think, I'm going to be using my drink for the next six hours? Oh yeah, I forgot, I don't actually use the drink when I'm eating its only there to be drank later. Why is it so hard for them to give you more in the thing that cost them the least and you the most. Stop filling my cup to the top with ice! It would be nice to have more than 6 ounces of drink in a 22 ounce cup.

Events of Saturday

1. I have come to the conclusion that alarm clocks are pointless. I never wake up at the time it goes off.
2. While I was eating Frosted Flakes for breakfast, I remember the time a cock roach fell out of the box when I was pouring the cereal as a kid.
3. Gaged, then quietly poured my cereal down the drain. (Lost my appetite)
4. Sold the neighborhood children broken Christmas lights. (I said they magically light up on Christmas eve.)
5. Pulled out my Disney Classics CD (Volume 2) and jammed out to it.
6. Watched a Chinese movie for my Film class and was craving Chinese food all day.
7. Visited a midget community
8. Was rudely informed that it was a short persons village (They all gathered around me, I got scared and ran.)
9. Tried to think of an excuse for my job as to why I can never work Saturdays
10. Under stress from my boss to work Saturday, I broke and said I had counseling every weekend.
