So I noticed today DoorDash is running a Summer Deals bruhaha where supposedly different restaurants are offering different types of discounts on orders.

Knowing DD's predatory business practices it's probably some lose/lose for restaurants if they don't participate, but listen...it's 100 degrees outside, it's been a long week, and a brother's HONGRY. At least I can still sleep at night ordering from some chain that can shoulder the financial hit, right?

And would you look at this - Wingstop is stepping up with a sweet-ass deal on boneless wings. Free 10pc on my order? Say considerably less and sign me up.

I rock on up to my cart. I throw in a 10pc. The hungerin' rumbles. Eager to consume, I go to select my sauce... And the ONLY option is "Atomic". ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I checked their other boneless sizes, and the bone-in 10pc as well, and they all have every flavor listed. Wingstop straight-up intentionally said "You want us to dump off entire orders of free wings? All right. Sign on the line. But we're ONLY offering them in Satan's Anus flavor".

Was I disappointed? Yes. But I've got to give them props for complying with this corporate dictum in one of the most technically-correct yet overtly-violent ways imaginable. Kudos, Wingstop. You will not quell my hunger today, but you have earned my respect and future full-price business. ๐Ÿ‘Š
