    If it snows, here's something to do, not mine, just pasting it here from somewhere else...
    "I used to tend bar in Chicago near Wrigley Field. I had a regular/friend who would come in on busy nights with his buddies and post up at my bar. When the bar got busy and he had had a few, he used to send corn dogs to pretty girls at the other end of the bar. Sounds crazy, but let me break down this brilliance.
    A. Corn dogs were the cheapest item we sold, $2.50 if my memory serves. Cheaper than a beer, much cheaper than a mixed drink, and the cheapest food item on the menu.
    B. If the girl accepted the corn dog, and happily ate it, he had already broken the ice with the unconventional offering. ALSO, he knew that this girl was cool enough to eat a random corn dog and he might not be wasting his time by walking over to talk to her.
    C. If the girl refused the corn dog, he was only out $2.50, and he knew that the girl wasn't worth his time anyways, because who refuses a corn dog, right?
    D. Occasionally, the girl would accept the corn dog and not eat it. It was a toss up then, depending on how pretty she was I guess.
    It worked often. As a bartender, it was the best pick up "line" I've ever seen, and most effective too."

    my dad and I went to Wrigley one time.......there was a bar right on the corner with all the windows busted out. Very cool place. Was that where you worked?

    I would be yelling " Hard Pass! Hard Pass" into the phone and would sound a lot like the pulp fiction drug dealer yelling "prank call"

    And other foods not sold in the USA

    I used to collect a case of their Pekoe Tea before coming back south in the USA among other things. Canada is useful for getting food items not sold here.
