Junk Food For iMacs (5/17/99)

We admit it-- we're not big fans of the Tricon "holy trinity of fast food franchises." Even before the AtAT staff all became vegan, the food at Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza Hut struck us as, well, kinda gross. About the most involved we'd get with any of that food was a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut once in a while, just because they were readily available as a quick meal-on-the-go from the college dining halls. And these days we have to object to Taco Bell just on principle, because that damn chihuahua irritates us to no end. (Don't even get us started on the inexplicable push to unite KFC and Taco Bell into a single baffling restaurant...)
That said, though, we can't dislike those restaurants entirely-- especially now that ehMac reports that, as part of their "Defeat the DarkSide" Star Wars: Episode I promotion, they're giving away iMacs. So if you chow down at any of those three restaurants, make sure you enter to win, because you might get a side order of iMac with your Gorditas and your bucket of Extra-Crispy™. (There are other prizes, of course, like a Lincoln Navigator, a trip around the world, and even an actual hovercraft Land Speeder-- but as we all know, nothing's cooler than an iMac.)
So if you've been longing for an iMac but you can't quite justify the expense, it's time to start maxing out your diet with tons of fat, sodium, and dubious nutritional content. Who knows? You might just get lucky. ;-)

 | | The above scene was taken from the 5/17/99 episode: May 17, 1999: Could it be possible? Could somebody other than Apple really be spending money to promote iMacs? Meanwhile, the world's toughest PowerBook emerges from a tornado virtually unscathed, and the junk food triumvirate joins forces with Star Wars to give away iMacs...
Other scenes from that episode: 1538: Someone Else's Money (5/17/99) The past two years have shown us lots of things happening in the Mac world that most of us may never have expected to see. For instance, raise your hand if, two years ago, you could have foreseen Apple releasing a consumer system that would become the best-selling home computer in the retail market... 1539: Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! (5/17/99) You knew your PowerBook was rugged, you knew it was durable-- after all, you've dragged it all over the world, to hell and back, and it took a licking and kept on ticking. But has your PowerBook survived an actual tornado?...
