I worked for Canada Bread and at the depot I worked at we would throw out $1,000+ of bread on a daily basis. Who cares about a few hamburgers?
Who cares what people spend their money on? After living in Ottawa for 3 years I can safely say that it is the city that fun forgot. Wow.

I worked at McD's wayyyy back in the day and can say that lots of food got turfed every day. Timmy's same....any bakery....same. I know Timmy's (atleast some) donated to the Shepard's of Good Hope. McD's never donated any of the food.
If you're gonna protest this, I expect to see you protesting every kids egg-throwing competition as well....easter's coming up, let's round up all the pre-schoolers who waste eggs just to paint them? Whats that all about?
Let's not stop at food, water is a valuable resource folks....water-balloons, water guns, wading pools, splash pads be gone!

Who says that fun cannot be had with a foam burger that gets reused and gives money towards the food bank? It's a $1 or $2... My grandparents grew up in WWII, where you didn't waste a scrap of food. Sorry that I was brought up with these morals and nobody here understands that. The fact that we are even arguing about this proves how spoiled this fan base and Canadians in general are.

You seem to be implying that "soaking it in" implies throwing food unto the ice surface
It really doesn't
You live in Alberta and you're worried about 10-20 burgers a game going to waste? Yikes, like you're provinces economy use to be, that's a bit rich don't you think?
Am I the only person who was ever been in a food fight?
Wanna talk about food waste?
La Tomatina uses roughly 40 metric TONS for their festival....
There are significantly more valid things to protest against....

c'mon, that's not implied at all.
he's saying enjoy the historic run we are on and the circus that surrounds it, it doesn't happen very often, it will end.
There is no need to go over the top. Let me be perfectly honest when I say that I would like to see a lot of these fast food chains shut down. But that is political and not for this forum.
I am saying that there has to be some sort of moral imperative here. Fun does not come without paying the piper.
When I was a kid we had mud fights and I wouldn't be talking about our economy so readily when Quebec Students are marching against austerity in Montreal.
A moral imperative? You know that existing in a developed country is virtually moral bankruptcy right?
Every coffee we buy for two dollars can feed people in poor countries. Every phone we buy, video game, fancy pair of jeans or decadent dessert or pair of sens tickets .. . all that money should go to less fortunate people.
People are starving to death because we spend so much money on ourselves. People kill themselves in factories that produce cheap merchandise that we eat up because the conditions are so terrible and they can barely afford to feed their families while working 16 hours a day.
But burger tossing . . . ice bucket challenges. . . that's where people draw the line. Its hypocritical, its nonsensical and it's smug.
Our entire existence, the luxuries we have are quite literally a result of countless others propping us up on their backs and suffering because of it.
Welcome to life.
Where's the Sens P.R. and marketing departments here? Here's a real opportunity to do a real good thing for charity. I like the rubber burger idea (or foam). Or make some kind of intermission burger toss game. Either way this is a great chance to make significant donations to Food Banks EVERY home game. Just find a safe way to do it.
