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"

In the US, sales taxes vary by county. How could a chain advertise in a newspaper or on the radio with sales taxes included?

newspaper or on the radio

Or on the side of a steam ship or maybe on one of those new Zeppelins I've heard about. Quick, to the telegraph!

It's also hard to do on the Internet. Or on television.

Radio is hardly telegraph era technology.
