Sports and fast food

What is it about sports and fast food? If a team reaches a certain mark, the fans get a treat from a fast food chain. One of the more unusual ones stems from Milwaukee, my destination over the weekend. If the Brewers score 5 runs or more, you can go into George Webb's the next day and get 6 burgers for $5. Saturday, the Brewers scored 11 runs, including 5 homeruns in an inning, tying a Major League record. That should have brought on more than the regular deal, but no, Sunday meant 6 burgers for $5. I can see the Marquette students getting together and chipping in $1.67 each to consume 2 burgers each. I hope people aren't going into the place to eat 6 hamburgers by themselves. I did go into a local George Webb's on 3rd Street. I did not see anyone taking advantage of the deal. Otherwise, I would have asked. Even in the days when I would gorge, I still don't think I could have eaten 6 burgers. I might have tried and figured, "Hey, even if I eat 3 burgers, it's worth $5."
