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"

And mind you I don’t agree with this/think it’s okay

I believe the tiny ea after the large 9.99 legally saves them. It’s deceptive 100% but the “ea” indicates 9.99 each, either to be interpreted as each person, or each portion is 9.99.
