And how many grocery stores would stock hot dogs if they were required to give them away?
The point that investment money doesn't chase big expensive research projects with low returns still holds.
- ipaddr 6y agoThey are usually called loss leaders and they set a limit on how many you buy. The idea is to drive traffic by reducing prices on common items. Stores would stock them because other stores would and all of the customers want them. Some stores would put a hot topping and sell drinks. Others would advertise other sales driving traffic to other areas of the store.
