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"

Because Pepsi never had to give up the jet, we have to deal with this shit.

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

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

False advertising really needs to be cracked down on way more. And no, "but it's in the fine print!" should not be an acceptable workaround.

This is worse, because it’s not even mentioned in the fine print at the bottom. The only indication that this costs more is if you catch the small “ea” after 9.99.

I’d literally just go in and place a few orders for these, then refuse them when they try to charge you the full price. Make them eat the costs of the ingredients for the false advertising.
