Reality Check: Burger King Wrapper & NFL Sunday Ticket.

[WrongWay]

I saw this commercial again and this time I was paying close attention To my TV for the "Fine Print", but still nothing.

The commercial claims if you buy Burger King's new Swiss Angus burger you get a free day of NFL sunday Ticket on Direct TV.

That is for a $2.99 hamburger you get $40.00 worth of programming?

Does anyone out there know the "Fine Print" I am missing. This just does not add up to me.

SOB it looks like a great offer for DirecTV customers who do not have Sunday Ticket. It looks like if I buy a $2.99 hamburger they will give me a $39.99 rebate check.

I am confused by you saying WAS. No later than October 23, 2005 should mean I still have another month to cash in on this deal.

F'n A -- I read that as "September" not "October". Sorry 'bout that.
