   I was at McDonald's a while back and while waiting for my sandwich,
I checked out their "deal" on the value pack.  Remember that I am quoting
from memory.  Nine pieces of chicken was about $1.99, which makes 11 pieces
worth about $2.43.  A large Coke was $0.65 and a large order of fries was
also around $0.65.  This makes the whole package worth $3.73 when bought
separately.  So, what's the big deal when it is sold for $3.50?  All this
fuss about a 6% discount?  OK, so you get a little more fries in addition
to the 6% discount.  Still not a big deal.
