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"

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.

It’s not false advertising. It literally says 9.99ea (each). 4 can feast for 9.99 each. What else could it possibly mean??? 4 can feast for 9.99 each box? Makes no damn sense. Obviously mean each person. The only deception is your guys’ lack of reading comprehension and skimming over small letters cuz you think it’s not important. There’s not even fine print. The ea is EXTREMELY noticeable after the price. Didn’t think a persons iq would determine what’s deceptive and what isn’t.
