Summary: not as good a value as it seems

The advertised price of the value pack is $3.85.  At our local
McDonalds, the individual prices of similar items (9 piece McNuggets,
large soft drink, and large fries) total $3.28.  They're charging
you 28.5 cents each for the two extra McNuggets as compared to
20 cents each in the 9 piece serving.

The "value" in the name doesn't apply to the consumer but to the
corporation.
