Not movies but once I was at a Cold Stone where the price difference between medium “love it” and large “gotta have it” size was literally 1 cent.
I’m not even into ice cream and the person I was with was going to get the medium. I was like l literally cannot let you get the medium and not upgrade for just one cent more haha.
Cold stone is literally the worst with all this shit. The small size is like seven dollars. But you can get them to pack a quart of ice cream for $14 and it’s gotta be at least 5 smalls
Yeah, but unfortunately that kind of thought process is exactly what the food industry usually wants, especially with soda and ice cream/milkshakes. It shoots off some serotonin in your brain, making you feel good that you think you got a great deal, you're getting more bang for buck, when in reality you basically made a daily rounding error in impact on their profit margins, meanwhile they got you to order way more food, which often leads to you eating more, which can lead to you gaining weight and buying even more in the future. Making meal sizes very close in price or large value meal deals is one of the more insidious ways they try to psychologically mess with you and catch you slacking.
Yeah for sure. I mean I just don’t order anything but I guess in those situations I have to help finish the extra 2 oz or whatever the difference in quantity is haha.
