Pickup Lines Or Fast Food Slogans?

Some are just too cheesy...

425

Are you "Hot andReady"? (@LittleCaesars), I'm about to serve up some delicious pickup lines. Hope you're hungry.

"Sometimes, you've gotta break the rules." – Burger King

If this were suggested by a bright-eyed Ben Affleck, most of us would throw caution to the wind and shimmy down the drain pipe. However, it's most likely coming from a guy you accidentally swiped right on Tinder who wants to meet up for "coffee." In that case, he will meet your cyber silence with more of BK's classic lines, perhaps a grotesque "It takes two hands to hold a Whopper," but the real gentleman will bow out with a bitter "Have it Your Way."

"We're Hot and on a Roll." – Zero's Subs

You'd probably hear this charming one liner during a subpar conversation with an over-served townie out at a dive bar. "We" are not anything, let alone "on a roll" during this God awful conversation that should have ended the instant I caught a glimpse of your puka shell, shark tooth necklace.

"Go Bold or Go Home." – Del Taco

This is delivered by one type of man—the inebriated, washed-up frat star. The dude who tells you to "do less" all night until you finally acknowledge his existence and he asks to "do more." No thanks, buddy. You can be bold from kickin' back those summer shandies; I'm running my keister home.

"Come hungry. Leave happy." – IHOP

Sounds like a plan, you'd think. Think again. This is where you heed the words that "there is no truth in advertising." Just like a stack of buttermilk pancakes topped with ice cream sounds good at the time, it will you leave writhing in regret and self-loathing each and every time.

IN CONTRAST

"We Come Fast, No Apologies." Toppers Pizza

What a delightful promise from a pizza delivery joint. However, this wouldn't really entice, in fact, it would likely deter most potential romantic interests. But the straight forward, no BS has a sort of intriguing charm. Sort of...

"You Take it Home." – Church's Chicken


What refreshing simplicity. For those so used to rejection that they decide to cut the crap and say, "You're taking me home," and you begrudgingly comply. Acknowledging that it may not have been your first choice and you might not be thinking "I'm Lovin' It" (@McDonald's), when push comes to shove, there's a short line to put in that order so it's the one you bring home. You're finally satiated, at least for now.

Safe to say, this is how many fellas cook up their ideas. Proving the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If you don't want your customer losing their appetite, keep the cat calls and pickup lines at a minimum and separate your culinary wisdom from the dating game.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
