When you go to fast food joints, be sure to bring a calculator with you!

KFC is sneaking extra profit from bigger orders!
Be sure to do the math before you order those combo meals at your favorite fast food joint. They are usually put together so the sheep will automatically order them without thinking twice.
I don't know if this is still the case since I haven't eaten McDonald's in nearly a year, but back in the day it used to really bug me that a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a Big Mac both cost the same when ordered separately but that the Quarter Pounder MEAL was $0.50 more expensive than the Big Mac meal (because it was ordered more often than the Big Mac meal)...it still had the SAME fries and drink for gosh sakes!
