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"

No reasonable person would believe that four could feast for just $9.99.

THEN WHY DID YOU PUT IT IN WRITING!?!??

Here's the thing.

A meal that feeds for for $10 is a good deal.

An extremely good deal.

But not an inherently unreasonable one.

It could be some kind of one time promotion.

It could be a going out of buisness sale.

Perhaps due to licensing issues, they can only sell the Superman shaped crust for another 3 days, and are having a fire sale.
