Super Bowl Snack Plans: Buffalo Wings Edition


If you're like me, number 2 or 3 on the "why I'm excited for the Super Bowl" list is the food. Today I was reading this story about how the price of buffalo wings has gone up, probably due to the economy and the high cost of getting 2 tiny wings from a whole buffalo. Think that was stupid? Check out this real-life conversation a guy had to have when ordering wings:

Hooters Chick: Thank you for calling Hooters, how can I help you?
J: Hi, I would like to place a ToGo order for Sunday.
HC: Ummmm....today is Friday....
J: Yes, I know. Do you take orders in advance?
HC: Ummm....I'm not sure, let me go check.
At this point I'm put on hold for a solid five minutes.
HC: OK, we can go ahead and take your order.
J: Good. I would like to get 120 medium wings.
HC: ...
J: Umm, that's all I need.
HC: Oh, OK. Can I get your name?
J: My name is Jeremy.
HC: And what's your phone number?
J: xxx-xxx-8943
HC: Can you say that again?
J: xxx-xx-8943
HC: 943?
J: Yes
HC: HELLO!?!
J: I said YES!
HC: 943?
J: YES!
HC: What's the other number?
J: Huh? Oh, it's 8943!
HC: Oh, OK. So it's 120 medium wings, correct?
J: Yes.
HC: Do you need any ranch or blue cheese with that?
J: Ranch, I guess.
HC: Well how much do you want?
J: I don't know, how much would be enough for 120 wings?
HC: Ummmmmm, I'm not sure. They're in little dishes, so it would be a lot.
J: *sigh*
J: Does ranch come with the wings, or is it an extra charge?
HC: Oh, it's $.69 per order.
J: Nevermind then. I'll just get my own ranch.
HC: OK, what time did you want to pick it up?
J: Four o'clock.
HC: OK *click*


Most likely he's gonna end up with 943 cups of ranch.
