Hold the Milk in my Hot Dog

Well, my birthday is almost over and what a fun day it has been. Tonight, my daughters and I ate out, which really means picked up food at the drive thru. On a whim, I decided to go to a KFC/A & W All American Cafe combo drive thru. Typically, I avoid restaurants (read: drive thrus) with more than one cuisine (using the word loosely) at the same place. Something about combining a Long John Silver's with a Der Wienerschnitzel just does not usually get the taste buds going. But, tonight, in honor of my birthday, we tried out A & W/KFC. I am not really a KFC fan ever since one Halloween when I was about 5 when my family I were traveling over the "holiday "and I did not have a costume, so my mom, always thrifty, got me a Col. Sanders mask with a large bucket of drumsticks. The other kids got quite a kick, literally, out of the mask. Anyway, all was going well tonight, including the regular routine: one teen refusing to eat because the other agreed with me that it would be fun to try a place we don't go to often. So, me and the younger one, who believes French fries are a major food group, making either KFC or A & W a good choice, and I ordered, drove around, and there it was...THE LIBERAL TRIAL LAWYERS STRUCK AGAIN....at the local A & W. A small sign was posted in the window that said, "Customer Alert: This restaurant chain serves hot dogs that MAY contain milk in them." Much to my daughters' dismay, I asked the very young girls working the window about the milk issue. The girl in the cute A & W paper hat leaned out of the window, read the sign and said, "Yeah, isn't that weird?" which is not really reassuring coming from someone serving your food. Then she added, "It isn't like we pour milk on the hot dogs." Great, 'cuz that was my first guess. Doesn't everyone pour milk on their hot dog before eating it? What strange lawsuit led to a corporate lawyer writing that little gem and sending it to all the A & W's throughout the US? His mom is proud of him! He saved us all from mistakenly eating a milk hot dog.
