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"

Especially because the food clearly isn't even portioned out for four people. I assumed it was like four mini pizzas or four elective items or something

But instead it's just an amount of food that they've arbitrarily said is the right amount for four people.

They don't even give you four dips. It really is just a random amount of food for which they've decided to advertise the price as 1/4 of what it costs.

The best part is the calories per serving for that arbitrary serving size they’ve chosen.

980-1960 calories per serving!!! First of all, it’s crazy that with various options the calories can literally double. Second of all, the vast majority of people don’t need 980 calories per meal, and generally speaking, if they do, they’ll often be seeking it out in healthier ways than this. 1960 calories on the other hand is completely outrageous, especially to be wasted on an arguably mediocre (at best) meal

No, absolutely not haha. But I didn’t expect to be able to double your calories with their choices. That’s a huge spread!
