The glaringly obvious explanation is that people are buying the quantity they wish to eat. Why is it so unbelievable that people will buy 10 nuggets instead of 20 for the same price? I'm not going to take 10 extra nuggets and either throw them out or put myself into a food coma.
If we were discussing 1 vs. 2 cans of soup from the local grocery for the same price, of course everyone would buy 2 - you can save the additional can for another day. Here, we're talking about fast food that has to be eaten within a couple of hours. There is no "deal" to be had by buying a larger quantity if you're not willing to eat it.
The only sad thing about this article is the apparent inability to understand why someone won't stuff their face with more food than they can eat without making themselves sick and likely obese.
- lern_too_spel 11y agoThe buyers are undergrads. They could easily turn around and sell the remaining 10 nuggets for $1 to their roommate or classmates. There are always hungry people within arm's reach looking for a deal in college.
- npizzolato 11y agoAs a college student I had much better things to do with my time than try to sell 10 McNuggets for $1. I'd much rather eat the 10 and get on with my life than carry around an extra 10 nuggets to try and make a single buck.
- ars 11y agoSo give it away for free. After eating yell "I have extra, anyone want some free nuggets?". If no takers just walk away.
- oneeyedpigeon 11y agoHave you ever tried this? In my experience, people tend to favour handing over their own money rather than taking something from the weirdo shouting 'free nuggets'.

- Natsu 11y agoYeah, I think all the drink prices are the same, too, but... I just don't want a large drink. And that's assuming I buy one to begin with.
