Back in the 90s I was in college, struggling to pay my bills and attend classes. McDonald's had a promotion at the time, buy a Big Mac for only 25 cents! I thought this was a great way to extend my grocery money, I'd buy 25 Big Macs, freeze them, and eat them once a day for lunch.
I pulled up to the drive through and ordered 25 Big Macs. There was a pause, then a concerned tone saying "Hold on a second" and then a brief delay. The window jockey came back and said "Sorry, there's a max of 5 Big Macs per order".
"Well then," I replied, "You can ring it in as 5 separate orders, or you can just sell me 5 and I can drive around the drive-thru 4 more times. Your call."
Another brief pause.
"That'll be 7 dollars and 19 cents, please drive thru".
