Pattyburger is running a promotion where you can trade in any burger in return for a Patty Burger single with cheese, a regular order of fries and a regular drink. Normally, I’d be headed to White Castle to secure the cheapest burger around to reap the benefit, but I’m not really a fan of Patty Burger. Still, I thought this is kind of a cool promotion. Then I thought about it some more, and I realized that basically Patty Burger is encouraging people to buy a whole bunch of burgers from local competitors that no one’s going to eat and the wrappers of which will probably end up in local landfills. I suggest Pattyburger just give away free burgers instead.
