Things heard on the CBC

This past weekend, Dairy Queen had a promotion running because of their moolattes. Bring in a real cow, and get a free moolatte every week for a year.

You'd think this would be a pretty safe proposition, actual-cow-to-publicity ratio.

However, they were interviewing the manager of the Brooks DQ. Brooks is a town in Southern Alberta right in the middle of cattle ranching country. They counted themselves fortunate that they only had thirty-eight people show up with cows, because the torrential downpours we've been getting for the past two weeks has turned a lot of pasture to swamp, making the collecting of the cow a bit tricky.

In other news, the rain has stopped for now, but we did get a downpour a little while ago--right after I'd moved all the plants into the sun. Grrr.

I love how all the people seem so nervous in this article that Dairy Queen was doing this. What about cow patties, they say. What about children petting them? What if the cow tries to stick its head inside the drive-through window? Nervous, nervous!

Anyway, I think it's a great promo. :)
