    WTF? I thought fast food down in america was supposed to be dirt cheap. Above the 49th I'm also consistently shocked that the A&W coupons are increasing in price so rapidly, I swear each one that comes out, the combos go up a dollar. I only eat fast food when my work is paying lmao, it's a fuckin racket

      burger king did this too, but like they also sell their burgers for like 2-3 dollars in bundles for absolutely no reason.

      Like OK- it's 30 dollars for two people to get a whopper combo. Which is nuts

      But if you take away the drinks that cost burger king 20 cents, and then order one additional whopper, three additional regular cheeseburgers, and one additional order of fries, you know how much that costs you? They will hand you 10 to 12 dollars. It is literally negative 10 dollars for what burger king considers 20 dollars worth of food.

      It's all so made up

          Honestly it feels like a 2 tiered pricing strategy, like if you don't know you'll go in and pay 15 dollars for one meal, but if you do know, you'll get like 4 meals for 20 bucks
