Put on those boxing gloves, Seamless — there's a new fighter in the ring.
Now that Groupon has entered the food delivery game, the possibilities seem endless. Pedicures with a crunchy, fresh salad? Delightful! A round of golf with a milkshake? Love it.
However, there are pitfalls to avoid in this new, uncharted landscape. Take heed.
Note: All photos below have been altered. That model probably has lovely white teeth IRL.
1. 20% off trapeze class + Indian food
Those classes always look so fun, don't they? And they are, until you have a belly filled with spicy af chana masala, lamb vindaloo and far too many samosas. Talk about a gassy minefield as you catapult through the air. Just...no.
2. Two-for-one teeth whitening + coffee
If you can't even remember your middle name before your morning cup of coffee, join the club. But Blue Bottle Coffee delivery isn't exactly a perfect pair for your new pearly whites. Unless you want black beans where teeth should be.
3. All-inclusive resort vacation + shellfish
You've dreamed about this gorgeous all-inclusive vacation. So don't blow it by eating some raw delivery shellfish at the beginning of your trip. Repeat: Food poisoning on vacation is the seventh circle of hell.
4. Half-off liposuction + bacon cheeseburgers
So you're going to look better than all the other cheerleaders at your high school reunion — go for it. Add a five-inch double cheeseburger and it's just money down the drain.
5. Massage membership + any exotic new food
What better time to try a new dish that might give you a rash or hives? Just play Russian roulette and cross your fingers you won't get a horrible rash as you get scented oils pounded into your body by a swarthy Russian woman. That's a good idea.
