I wonder if they all use the same tactic--I always get really upset when they take the McRib away (I LOVE BBQ). I guess there is some kind of marketing purpose in "For A Limited Time Only!!" deals (it makes people who otherwise would not go to a fast food joint want to go because they want the sandwich and know that it will only be available for a short time?)..... but I took no marketing/PR classes in college so I am clueless, lol.
What's even worse is your favorite restaurant going out of business and nobody telling you... there was this place in murfreesboro (a franchise of a nashville chain, Calypso Cafe), and I LOVED that place!! Healthy food, fast, delicious, and it was vaguely carribbean... I pulled into the parking lot one day and it was closed. TEH SAD.
I feel your burger pain! I liked that as well. The one that gets me is Taco Bell with the cheesy crunch gordita. Its very tasty and they only offer it a few times a year. What the hell? Why? Its like the McRib: lure us in with your tasty food then snatch it away and force us to order something else when we find out its gone. Bah I say BAH!
