Incredible Loopholes

[Eumersian]

Have you ever found a really nice, convenient loophole somewhere? Something that you could exploit for years? It could be in a game, with some kind of establishment, or whatever. Tell us, because some of them are really interesting. Also, people will realize just how clever you are.

I'll start with mine. Now, I'm sure that I'm not the only person to have discovered this, but when I tell it to people they always seem like they had no idea. Here we go:

For years upon years Burger King had served their own, slightly better in my opinion, version of chicken nuggets. I had gotten those at Burger King since I was little. Then I grew older (maybe 12 years old) and felt like I should eat more than just 5 nuggets, so I ramped it up to 8. Then, looking at the menu another time, I noticed that a 5 piece cost $.99, and an 8 piece cost $2.29 or something. That's right, you could buy two 5 piece nuggets for less than one 8 piece. I was able to get more food for less money at that place up until about maybe last year, when they changed the 5 piece to 4 pieces and moved the prices around.

In Wyoming we have the law of "No Texting while Driving" but the law read on paper and sign posts. "No Texting AND Driving." which is implying we can neither text nor drive in Wyoming.

At GAME (UK video games store) they used to have a disc cleaning machine, dunno if they still do, but you could either have one disc cleaned for £3, or three cleaned for £5... Meaning it was cheaper to have three discs cleaned than two. So one time I wanted to have my copies of Bioshock and The Orange Box (I think) cleaned, I took a random blank disc I had, scratched it with my keys, and wrote "Halo" on it.

Nice. That one made me laugh. *high fives*

Surely that would only be the case if the sign said "Texting OR Driving"? The implication is that the activities are only dangerous when combined.

OT: Buying Zack and Wiki from play.com for £15 (official, play.com listing) when there was another (official, play.com listing) for £34.99.
Never been able to work that one out.

I've never had the balls to try this, but:


And in Edmonton, Canada, most of the McDonalds only use one window now.
