The McSkillet burrito, launched last November, is a Mexican style flour tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, salsa, onions, peppers and cheese. It is sold during breakfast hours only.

In a similar but more narrowly targeted offer, Papa John’s gave a free one-topping pizza on Leap Day, February 29th, but only if it that was your actual birthday.

The next Leap Year is in four years. We’ll see what deals develop between now and then!
