my local mcdonalds online prices have me doing cookie math

image

so the difference between having 0 cookies and having 1 cookie is 80 cents, right? you might assume that the cookies to follow would be similarly priced. maybe 2 cookies could cost $1.50 or something! but you'd be wrong

image

the difference between 1 cookie and 2 cookies is not 80 cents or even close. it's 1.31. huh? cookie number two costs more than cookie 1 did? it's over 2.5x the price of 1 to get 2? hang on cause

image

then the difference btween 2 cookies and 3 cookies is TWENTY cents. which makes sense in comparison to 1 cookie's price but not cookie 2's. why'd the cost jump from 1->2 but not 2-> 3? ordering 2x of 1 cookie for .79 each doesn't work because the store will leave the additional cookie out of the order. it's infuriating i just want 2 cookies for 1.60. i have questions for you ronald you clown piece of shit.

DAMA BABY I HAVE ANSWERS. IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICE ARCHITECTURE. they give you a cheap option and an expensive option, you choose the cheap option. they give you a cheap option, a medium option and an expensive option... suddenly the expensive option is looking better value, so more people buy it. nobody is actually going for the middle option, it's just there to trick you into paying more. lots of love

(visibly crying) so we should kill the ceo with a brick right?
