  That’s not a promotion, just a thing they’re selling for the summer season. Damn convenient too IMO

    Perhaps I’ve become too cynical.

  I live in Minnesota and these signs show up in the drive thru of our local BK every summer and disappear every winter. I don’t think it’s any kind of special promotion, probably just an additional revenue stream.

  The fountain machines typically have a bunch of ice in the hopper already, I’m guessing any bagged ice they sell is probably pretty high margin and not frequent enough to interfere with the primary business.

  Not uncommon to do during heat waves or summer events. Can be cheaper than buying it from a grocery store

    Shit ice goes for $5-6 a bag here, that’d be a heck of a deal.

  Sonic sells ice too. I think they do it every summer. Can top off your cooler while picking up food.

  Depending on the size of the bag, that might not be a bad deal.

    When they did it last summer, I asked how much ice for $2 and was told about 2lbs. It’s only enough for a 6 pack cooler

      2lbs?!? LMFAO

  In Australia most petrol stations and liquor stores sell ice in 5 kg bags. I’m not sure if you can even buy it here at Hungry Jack’s (the name of the Burger King franchise in Australia).

  i get mine from mcdonald’s! you fill the coolers at the store and then the last place you hit on your way out of town for camping or the beach is the cheap ice to top off the coolers.

  it’s always been cheaper than the bagged ice at the gas station or grocery store where i live.

  Company with ice machine who sells things also sells ice… woe is the current state of society!

    I don’t know who downvoted you, but you’re right. I’ve edited the OP.

      Glad the reality check had a positive affect. We’re all having a rough time right now so I get your state of mind.

  BK 2-3 years ago had amazing deals and coupons 24/7. Shit had doubled in price or more since then, and the deals are all shit

  Chick-fil-A sells their ice as well - great for parties.
