In-n-Out’s 60th Anniversary (Rumor?)

October 7, 2008

I’m not sure if this is a hoax or not but many people have received e-mails today regarding In-n-Out’s 60th Anniversary Celebration. The date is Wednesday, October 22nd  and the rumor is that hamburgers will be sold for 25 cents, Cheeseburgers 30 cents, Fries 15 cents, and drinks are 10 cents!!! So mark your calendars! (Thanks for the tip Don)

 

UPDATE: Per the In-n-Out’s Website

October 22nd Discounting Rumors

You may be aware of a rumor about our menu prices being lowered for our anniversary on October 22nd. This rumor is untrue. We’ve always tried to keep our prices as low as possible in order to give our customers the greatest value. One of the ways we accomplish this is by not discounting and our anniversary is no exception. We’re sorry if this rumor (or hoax) has caused any confusion.

 


Rock Band Offers Real Merchandise For Fake Bands

October 7, 2008

If you’ve already mastered every instrument for every song on Rock Band 2, game makers Harmonix and MTV Games have figured out a way to make your gaming experience all the more better: By allowing you to order merchandise bearing the fake logo of the fake band you create. You can even order an action figure of the 3D character you built to faux-shred your way through Guns N’ Roses’ “Shackler’s Revenge.” After uploading your in-game band’s logo using the new Photo Creator, you can order a T-shirt, keychain or bumper sticker bearing the emblem, all in an attempt to further enhance your gameplay. If you’re really committed to your character, you can make him the envy of all your GI Joes by ordering the $69 figurine, created specifically using your personalized in-game avatar and complete with customizable posing. Check out more info at the Rock Band Specialty Store . Besides, spending $29 on the T-shirt of a band you created in a video game will make you forget all about that so-called economic meltdown.
