Oh, the Chickenanity!

Remember when I selflessly gave up my chicken-strip lunch to The Pony, only to find out that he had eaten Hick's leftover pizza that I coveted for myself? The Pony might be more crafty than I presumed.

Only a few days earlier, I had brought home the same lunch for myself, the Dairy Queen two-piece chicken strips, and pretzel sticks with queso sauce. They're on the 2 for $4 menu. On that day, The Pony didn't dig into the bag to get out his own chicken/pretzel meal, because I got him a burger at Hardee's across the street from DQ. So I KNOW he didn't see the sad state of my chicken that day.

What in the NOT-HEAVEN? In what universe would those be considered chicken STRIPS? They're barely chicken NUGGETS! When a soft pretzel stick and plastic ramekin of queso look gigantic in comparison, you know I got chicken-cheated! Sure, they gave me three instead of two. They KNEW they were short-chickening me! That's an admission of guilt right there. No way would they accidentally give me THREE chicken STRIPS off the 2 for $4 menu.

I really hope The Pony enjoyed my that leftover pizza. At least I had two respectable chicken strips on the day I tried to be selfless.

  1. DQ has always had rather large chicken strips. You are right about them being chicken nuggets!

    1. Yeah! It's not like I expect them to be the same size as the ones in a Chicken Strip Basket, since they're only $2. Still, I expect them to be STRIPS, not NUGGETS!

  2. 2 large or three small, not really much difference there, but those pretzel sticks look gigantic.

    1. The pretzel sticks are GREAT! They're as thick as a fat cigar, and about 6 inches long. They're best dipped in the honey mustard sauce that comes with the chicken. 3 pretzel sticks for $2 in this deal.
