We all hope to save a few dollars, and food and groceries can consume a lot of your budget. However, would you adopt a diet consisting mainly of unhealthy foods in order to save money? We are not sure if the person in the following story is one of the smartest or stupid in America? Maybe both. However, the story of how he saved thousands of dollars by eating amusement park food over the years has spread.
The 33-year-old electrical engineer bought an unlimited annual pass to Six Flags Magic Mountain for $150 in 2014. According to the takeaway company, the pass gives him unlimited rides on roller coasters, free parking and two free meals a day. For convenience, the theme park is just a 5-minute drive from his office, so he plans to save money. He has to fasten his seat belt and eat twice a day. It was not so easy at first.
According to the AV Club, although he was saving money to repay his student loans, his first year of eating at Six Flags was “completely unhealthy food”. Since then, he said that his future wife moved in with him, which caused him to eat a little less at Six Flags than before. In addition, the food choices in theme parks have expanded and provide more healthier choices. So maybe it’s no longer just burgers, fries and hot dogs for two meals a day?
However, according to what the man told MEL Magazine, he has been dining at Six Flags for more than 6 years and is estimated to be able to eat 2,000 meals for every 50 cents. With the money he saved, he paid off most of his student loans, got married and bought a house. He almost realized the American dream. Of course, we don’t know what effect this diet will have on his health as he grows older, and how much weight he might gain.
His favorite meal at Six Flags? It will be a seasonal specialty monster called the Thanksgiving Dog. It is basically a hot dog full of turkey. He told MEL that it was life changing.
This is a turkey dog with cranberry sauce, fillings and a layer of mayonnaise on it. I know it sounds terrible, but it's so delicious. I ended up eating too many of them, and now I can't even smell the turkey dog without vomiting.
