Burger King is giving out free fries again this weekend, this time as a St. Patrick's Day promotion. I'm sure it has more to do with the fact that fries are the cheapest thing a corporate outfit like Burger King can give away without cutting into the bottom line, and not some sort of nod to the history of potatoes in Ireland…though you can freely assume so if you want.

But hey, they're serving it with green Heinz ketchup they're calling St. Paddy's Sauce just for the occasion, because if there's anything better than getting something that's worth less than a buck for free; it's getting something that's usually free with green food coloring added to it…for free.
