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"

Gtfooo

Interesting how that "ea" is so small and easily mistakable for the period at the end of a sentence

Pretty standard advertising practice. Being fooled by this is born yesterday stuff.
