2. You make your girlfriend get the Happily Ever After Meal at Denny's because you can't come to grips with eating anything that comes with a 'Pretty Pink Cherry Sprite' or 'Pink Ranch Dipping Sauce' despite really wanting that DAMN Cinderella poster that comes with the meal!

1. You end up making a website about this s@#*!
