Hi Dennis,

I have no idea how common these promotions are. Voting stubs for soft drinks, we have; sandwiches for proof of church attendance is new to me.

What an intriguing blog you have, Dennis. It’s so different from the blogs I tend to visit. Thanks for some fresh insights… and, I love what you’re doing with the boxes of photographs, by the way. :)

No black pointy hats for you, then? :)

I’m just teasing, you know. ;)

Audrey 3:16 would look great on a tie-dye t-shirt with a rainbow wig!

I see you’ve been in my closet again, hmm?

In-N-Out prints discreet references to Bible verses on their paper utensils.

They ripped that off of me. I put chapter and verse references very discreetly on the little bottles of perfumes and the soaps I make. Admittedly, I only put the same one:

Audrey 3:16 – All right ye people! Quit misquoting me!

They’re closed on Sundays, aren’t they? I forgot. One just went in… a hop, skip and jump from Saddleback Church. Continue down the street a bit and you’ll find In-N-Out Burger.

From wikipedia:
In-N-Out prints discreet references to Bible verses on their paper utensils. The print is small and out of the way, and only contains the book, chapter and verse numbers, not the actual text of the passages. The practice began in the 1980s during Rich Snyder’s presidency, a reflection of the beliefs held by the Snyder family:

Burger and cheeseburger wrappers
Revelation 3:20—”Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me.”

Beverage cups and replicas
John 3:16—”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Milkshake cups
Proverbs 3:5—”Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

Double-Double wrapper
Nahum 1:7—”The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”

Paper water cups (no longer in use) for customers. They are now used for thirsty employees.
John 14:6—”Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

License plate keychain
1 Corinthians 13:13—”And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

//restaurants that are open on the Sabbath should also be on the restricted list,//

That leaves them with Chick-Fil-A.

Btw, for fun, I looked to see how Arby’s sandwiches are made. Here’s what I found:

Deep beneath the Earth in a secret cavern, there is a “Queen Arby” that deposits beefy homogenized baby Arbies that are then harvested, brought to the surface, and, while still warm, sliced into piles of beefy deliciousness.

Which brings us full-circle back to Audrey:

Hmm… I’m trying to feel the outrage here, but… it’s Arby’s. Isn’t that punishment enough?
