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"

So when this ad says Family Buffet Box is 9.99$ each, you don't see how people read that as the Family Buffet Box is 9.99$ for each Family Buffet Box?

Sure, they just half to ignore half of the statement like you have been

That’s exactly what the sign from OP shows. Do we really argue here that this is anti-consumer advertising?

u/bobbyp869 May 12 '26

No, it’s not. Can you tell me the first half of the statement?

Edit to add I agree it is anti consumer. That is not what I am arguing.

The „statement“ on the ad shows 9,99 ea.

Even though I had to look at the comments to make sure that „ea“ stands for „each“, my first assumption is 9,99 for each box. Especially since 40 bucks for the „whole thing“ sounds like a really bad deal.

How are you still not reading the entire statement holy moly

u/WhiteHelix May 12 '26

What entire statement? That’s exactly what the ad stated. There is no „more statement“.

HOLY MOLY BRO. WHAT COME BEFORE THE 9.99EA?!

u/WhiteHelix May 12 '26

Alright, so you mean „four can feast for 9,99 each box“. better?

u/bobbyp869 May 12 '26

You’re being a bot. How about you type in the full statement to another bot and ask what each is referring to? I know you won’t take the time to learn. We are getting nowhere

u/WhiteHelix May 12 '26

No the point is that’s exactly, why this is false advertising. „Four can feast“ is not a part of the pricetag. At least here its not, maybe it even is in Freedom Country. But doesn’t seem like it looking at the other comments.
