it comes with a medium drink. but there is an xbox series x promo going on, and anyone who orders a medium or large drink will get a code on the drink container for a chance to win an xbox series x. when i entered in my code, it said invalid. i am guessing some worker ay the taco bell i go to already used the code. if that is the case, that is some unprofessional stuff. people going crazy for a chance to win an xbox series x.

A $5 combo?! You have my attention. I didn't think anybody was still doing $5 combos. Even KFC jacked up the price on theirs.

Yeah, who doesn't want to win the #3 console on the market? =p

this is their latest 5 dollar combo: the grande stacker box. i wanted to get the grande nachos but saw that it is gone. that is probably the best 5 dollar combo.

series x, and series s, preorders sold out faster than the ps5's did

also, they're not even out, so where are you getting #3 from

If we were counting the 3DS, they could even be #4 but the 3DS is strictly a handheld and it's no longer in production.

I'd personally say the no longer in production at the very least knocks them out of the running. I'm personally not sure about the solely hand held part, though I do get it.

That being said, about OP, didn't McDonald's have some controversy about employees stealing Monopoly stickers too or something?

okay so then right now it's

  1. switch, since it's been out for a few years already, and then
  2. xbox series s/x or ps5, since they aren't out yet and we have no idea the amount of preorders either got
  3. there is no 3. maybe stadia, or that stadia knockoff amazon is gonna try who the fuck knows
so, from this, it seems that microsoft is keeping in line with them being the number 2 spot every single generation they've been in

cool

i am guessing some worker ay the taco bell i go to already used the code. if that is the case, that is some unprofessional stuff.

I mean, I dont really expect minimum wage Taco Bell workers to be professional. Theres no incentive.

Contests like this make all employees and family of the employees ineligible for winning. They don't want some unscrupulous employee that has access to the codes to redeem them in advance and then destroy them or something.

That was done by someone that had access to the winning tickets inside the marketing company, he also had to use multiple people outside of the company to get part of the winnings. Meanwhile some random dude at a Taco Bell store isn't guaranteed to get the winning ticket even if he takes 100 cups and uses all the codes.

He also would have to explain when customers complain constantly about not being able to use the codes if the cups were replaced. You act like the guy that pulled off the monopoly game fraud over years was just a random burger flipper at a McDonalds. When the prizes scale into the $1 million range they usually have far more security for the winning ticket. I also will point out he was eventually caught, he may have gotten away with it for a period of time but he didn't get other people to redeem all these prizes, and they never figured it out.
