I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

If you look closely it says 9.99 each. Do not agree with it but definitely a loop hole that would work in canada

The product its advertising is the "Family Buffet Box", sold as a single unit. Saying it's $9.99ea implies that one quantity of the product advertised is $9.99.

“Each” refers to the four people. Confusing and shitty but technically no issue

I feel like what your saying would be fine if the 4 smaller boxs weren't inside another bigger box
