Ronald McDonald is SO stupid...
How stupid IS he?
Ronald McDonald is so stupid, he pays people to take extra hamburger.
Seriously. Being a hamburglar isn't even a crime anymore.
Do the math with me here:
.. Cheeseburger $.99
.. Double Cheeseburger $1.00
Yeah, they're sacrificing quite a bit of profit margin to give you an extra patty and slice of cheese for a penny, but they're moving more product, and you're a satisfied customer. So far, so good.
But we're not done yet; check this out:
.. Double Cheeseburger Value Meal $3.19
.. Two-Cheeseburger Value Meal $4.39
Wait... WHAT? They're charging $1.20 for an extra bun and pickle?
That seems like a ripoff, but look at it another way--
Buy the Double Cheeseburger Value Meal,
plus another Double Cheeseburger.
The total is-- are you still with me here?-- $4.19
The "Two-Double-Cheeseburger Value Meal" totals $.20 LESS than the Two-(Single)-Cheeseburger Value Meal.
Ronald is effectively paying you $.20 to take two extra patties+cheese off his hands!
(If you're not that hungry, or are health-conscious (ha!), hell, pull out the two extra patties and feed them to a crow or stray dog, or stick them into your shirt pockets so people think you're lactating grease or something. Either way, you're still $.20 ahead, which is enough to buy a whole mouthful of unleaded gas.)
