Free Denny's Grand Slam: How bad could it be?
 |
| Mmm, excessive. |

Those watching the Super Bowl last night may have been disappointed in the creativity of the pricey commercials. Pepsi's trans-generational "Refresh Anthem" appealed to nostalgia; Coca-Cola relied on CGI flowers and bees and Cheetos reminded us that snobby bitches in silver Uggs look down on those who eat flourescent orange snack food.
The only one that stuck out in my mind was Denny's offer of a "free serious breakfast" — their classic Grand Slam. Two eggs, two pieces of bacon, two sausage links and two pancakes comprise the oversized plate — and tomorrow, it's free. Every Denny's is offering a free original Slam to each customer from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tue., Feb. 3, as well as 1000 coupon books to be used later that include buy-one, get-one deals, 25 percent off, free dessert and free puppy pancakes (made with real puppies!).
If you don't have time to eat your free breakfast in, find a manager and ask for one of the 500 Grand Slam rainchecks they have on hand. I haven't been to a Denny's since high school, when it was our preferred hangout for sucking down gallons of coffee and smoking endless butts. Now that the ashtrays are off tables across PA, the food might taste of fake syrup and fake butter instead of used nicotine.
