RE: $1 Long Island Iced Tea from Applebee’s: Drink Deal Won’t Save Dying Restaurant Chain

in #drinks7 years ago (edited)

I'm impressed that you could build so much solid content out of this drink promotion. I never put L.I.T. together with LIT before, so I did learn something from this. I can't imagine how many people will get wasted and might hold the bar liable for not cutting them off sooner when they fall on their faces in the parking lot.

I bet that Applebees is in with local law enforcement (Chief Wiggum and crew) to split the DUI tickets from the ambushes rightfully outside every parking lot. I also wonder what low grade well alcohol they're using in these drinks, because there's no way in hell they're using anything of good quality.

Kudos for using your outreach wisely with quality effort, as opposed to many I see at your tier who put a fraction of the genuine effort, but somehow get the same rewards.

Sort:  

Since when is falling on your face anyone's fault other than your own? Hello?! One time I got pulled over leaving an Old Chicago, and the officer was like "You're obviously not impaired, but, if you start feeling sketchy, pull over and call a cab." I'd had like 5 beers at that point, and I lit my tires up on the way out of the parking lot when boy wonder lit me up. He let me drive away after he stopped me! Applebees is too fucking dumb to be in "cahoots" with anyone. So is local law enforcement. Learning they're working together would be like finding a video of a hedgehog fucking a scorpion. IN ITS BOOTY!!! Not gonna happen!!!

Good story. Though maybe both of them being "dumb" puts them in cahoots. Collusion, if not conspiracy?

Haha, lucky you. You know I was completely kidding right?

Thanks for a great response. You're right on point there re: Chief Wiggum's crew. This has to be some low grade, rotgut junk. And you know somebody's going to get behind a wheel thinking they had one drink.

I've been there a few times to drink, usually when a decent bar is unavailable. They've always cut me off before i got stumbling drunk. I'm not sure whether that's a good, or bad thing, but it was always upsetting for me lol.

Naw, if you look into it, they have little to no alcohol in it.

I have read people buying 5, 6 drinks and not feeling anything but a sugar high.
