One of the the simple pleasures I’ve enjoyed as college kid on a budget is being able to swing by the Union and picking up a double cheeseburger and a medium french fry for only 2 dollars and some pennies. But today, I have terrible news to report to you. McDonald’s has taken the medium fry off the 1 dollar value menu and replaced it with…wait for it…A SMALL FRY. In a bag no less!

I could go off on some meaningless rant about uncaring corporations etc…but I won’t because I’m burning out on midterms and so are you. So I’ll just say this:

Thanks a lot Illini Union McDonald’s. You just made my beautiful day a little bit darker.

In fact, invoking Colbert: You’re on notice. Right between .7 lead and BOT Chairman Larry Eppley. DEAL WITH IT!
