And eventually,

They brought the game back because they know we can't help ourselves.

We still want to believe that the next fry box is the big one.

Depending on where you live, you can still play it today.

You can still walk into a McDonald's,

buy a large fry, and peel off a sticker.

You can still dream of winning huge prizes, but the innocence is gone.

Here's the truth Jerry left us with.

We spent 12 years thinking we were playing a game of chance.

We thought if we just ate enough burgers, the math would eventually swing our way.

Well, we were wrong.

It wasn't math.

It was a guy in a security vest with a razor blade

So the next time you're in a drive-through peeling that sticker off your coffee cup, look at it for a second.

You're hoping for a miracle, but you should probably just hope that the person in charge of the stickers isn't feeling resentful today.
