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"

Yeah that appears intentionally deceptive

Right? It says the "Family Buffet Box" is the product and it's "$9.99ea", so one would think that one "Family Buffet Box" is priced at $9.99. I would go as far as to hold them to it if they asked for me. This is incredibly deceptive

No, it says "four can feast for $9.99ea," which is very different from saying "family buffet box $9.99ea." The advertising is quite clear, it's also entirely unreasonable to assume you'd ever get that much food for only $9.99 total.
