Strawberry Sundae. Black Coffee

Out and about in the city on Saturday, I swung into the McDonald's on 8th Ave near 26th for a caffeine hit. Waiting in line, I witnessed not one but FOUR separate people step calmly up to the counter and order "Strawberry Sundae. Black Coffee." Exactly those words. I noticed the order the first time because
  1. I hate strawberry sundaes and coffee and thought this was a particularly nasty combination.
  2. I had a moment of panic thinking that sounded like something people would order on a Sunday... is today Sunday already? Wait, it's Saturday, right? Shit, what day is it? etc.
  3. I'd noticed the old woman who placed the first order because she looked particularly annoyed at having to wait in line.
I do not consider myself a conspiracy theorist by any means but after the second person placed the same order I started to think something was up. After the fourth person, I became convinced that this was some sort of code. Sucking down my legalized drugs Coke, I waited around briefly to see if anything was going to happen... bomb, aliens, something... but nothing did. Sigh. I think I've been watching too much Alias.
