> Cashier: Okay, here's your Big Mac and here's your Coke.
> That'll be $3.99.

> Joe: Uh, I don't want a Coke.

> Cashier: Sorry, they're bundled.
>
> Joe: What? I'm not paying for a Coke!
>
> Cashier: You don't; the Coke is free.
>
> Joe: But wasn't a Big Mac $2.49 last week?
>
> Cashier: Sure, but this latest Big Mac is far more innovative.
> It's got integrated Coke!
>
> Joe: I already bought a Snapple across the street... I'm not going
> to drink the Coke.
>
> Cashier: Then you can't have the burger.
>
> Joe: Okay, fine, I will pay the $3.99 and throw the Coke away.
>
> Cashier: Oh, you can't do that. They're seamlessly integrated.

>
> Totally Joe: How can that be? They're two totally separate things!
>
> Cashier: No, watch. (takes Big Mac, dunks it in a tank of Coke)
>
> Joe: Why did you just do that?!
>
> Cashier: It's a benefit to the consumer. Otherwise you'd end up
> with two different, inconsistent tastes. This way you're assured
> of a continuous taste across all your foods.
>
> Thanks to "HAVE A NICE DAY!"
