So the current $3 bundle (by me anyway) is a double cheese and small fry
This offers the cheaper to make McDouble and small fries and adds a drink and 4 piece for $2.
The cost of that piece of cheese missing on the McDouble probably covers or damn close to covers the raw cost of the drink.
So $2 more dollars for 4 McNuggets. Seems if the $3 deal is viable this $5 should be viable.
No it’s a low margin, but I don’t see this as a money loser if the current $3 meal
Is viable which it clears is at least in some markets.
Methinks the real issue is, unlike the $3 bundle which gets zero promotion, this will be heavily promoted and folks are afraid a lot of folks buying the full price stuff will buy the deal instead
I feel for the restaurant owners and their employees.
However, my bank knows how to do math.
The soda/pop that would be "extra" is 98% city-water with CO2 and syrup. They expect you will add the drink.
I will definitely buy this deal - however you can increase your food with very little effort (your current deal)
