Aha - subliminal messages. I wonder if MacD's use them too? Has to be
some incentive to persuade folks to buy their unhealthy high pressure
water and mechanically stripped sugar enhanced pink slime masquerading
as burgers et al. In the UK it seems that the same pop tunes are
repeatedly recycled day after day after week after year - not only at
MacD's. But I wonder if royalties are ever paid by these muzak using
companies? This is especially pertinent at Christmas when the same
recordings get repeated with boring regularity year after year. CJB
