You might have to sell hundreds of $5 burgers every day 7 days a week just to break even on the rent!

If only they had offered a "Cigarette" burger, complete with a logo bun, they might have survived.

I heard they had a fountain burger but it smelled like hot garbage and was advertised bigger than what it is.

Only dirty girls enjoyed them I heard.

Problem is that burger would cost 400 dollars because the only ones who could legally put the logo on the bun are Cigarette. Also, the bun would probably look kind of gawdy with 40 logos branded all over it.

I bet the pop machines failed because of the epoxy tanks. Nobody like a burger without some Coke, right?!

Cig might have had a "co-branding" partnership with McDonalds with boats like these: http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...er-o63566.html

Seriously, Cig might need to get into the burger business if they can't sell boats to long time multiple Cig customers anymore (guys like Tom Abraham, Todd "the Gladiator). Makes you wonder if "logos and #1" simply doesn't make the koolaid strong enough anymore.....

People just like to try diff things, especially as we get older our tastes change and another company may offer something that matches it. Ive had mine for 10 years, love it and put more money into it, i still have my 20, but i also have an offer in on another boat that wont go over 20mph. Doesnt make me dislike my cigs or the brand any less... i just think the guys you mentioned as well as myself are more open minded and enjoy life... maybe you should try it...
