re: Wendy's chili...

True Story: my friend was going to an office party that was having a chili cookoff competition. He went to Wendy's with his crockpot and asked them to fill it up with Chili and let him know how much he owed. After much protest from the employee because "that's not how they do it", he explained all she had to do was use the cup they normally distribute chili in, and count the number of cups it takes to fill up the crockpot. Well, he got his chili and went to the office party and he won the cookoff!
