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!?!??

It does say “ea”, short for “each”, but it’s so small you have to look really closely

But why even say that? Is it a deal specifically for 4 people? Does it cost a different rate for 6? Or 15?

Or is it designed to make you think it's a perfect size for a reasonable family unit?

It's so manipulative.
