I recall going to Burger King recently and they had a small ICEE for $1.00, medium for $1.25, and a large for $1.00. No special going on. I was surely confused

I recall going to Burger King recently and they had a small ICEE for $1.00, medium for $1.25, and a large for $1.00. No special going on.
I was surely confused by this pricing, but after reading this article it all makes sense now.
I imagine many people looking at the menu and thinking there is a discrepancy or perhaps an error in the menu, something to surely take advantage of. Most people might not have planned to purchase an ICEE with their meal, but then again who can turn down a "free" large ICEE for a buck? I didn't...
- onedev 11y agoWell I'll happily turn down a giant cup of sugar any day. You'll have to pay ME to drink an Icee.
- ghshephard 11y agoI've run into those scenarios before and gone with the small. The large has a net negative impact on you. Honestly, buying soft drinks are net negative regardless, but better a small net negative than a large net negative*. The look on the cashier's face is interesting - they feel like they are doing a disservice to me if they can't convince me to take the large...
- dzhiurgis 11y agoThis happened for me with free ice cream that comes in a meal. I asked cashier not to make it. - But it comes for fee - I don't want it. - It's free. It comes with a meal. - Just skip it. She still made it. I ate a third of it. Don't like throwing food away, but it was too much.

- airza 11y agoI would assume that most people making a decision between these options don't treat any of them as a net negative (Which is why they're paying for them...)
- megablast 11y agoUnless you have a few people with you. Then it all breaks down, because you no longer need 3 drinks.
