'We probably got 30 meals free': Friend group cheats the system at a fast-food chain and gets a massive haul of free food

Who doesn't love a good promo deal at a fast-food chain? The infamous fofofo from Wendys was the only thing we ever ate in college. And who can forget the epic Pizza Hut buffet back in the day? Legendary.

People are all about those wallet-friendly wins. And speaking of winning, this crew of pals took this concept to the next level by masterminding the ultimate scheme to hack an Arby's promo deal back in '05. They were so locked in that they didn't get caught until they went back for round three.
