you cannot eat fast food why not because do you want fries with that and if you said yes that's
just one of the 10 ways fast food chains trick you into buying more finish these then I'll buy
more meal and combo deals that I believe is your winning combo killer combo actually meal
and combo deals are often presented by fast food establishments as the best option since buying
the combo meal appears to be a much better deal than buying the items individually for example at
McDonald's buying a Big Mac first and then fries and a drink separately will cost you more than
buying the combo meal however the combo will cost you more than just the sandwich alone so
McDonald's was always looking to get that extra money out of your wallet either way if you're
looking to save a bit of money try just going for the sandwich and getting creative with your
own drinks and sides in addition some locations offered up size items for a small fee please buy
one please tricking you into thinking this is a fair deal when you're paying extra for something
that you certainly did not really want in the first place combo meals exist in one form or
another in various fast food outlets and with all the different combos to choose from it seems like
an easy way to get a few extra dollars from Hungry patrons some places offer Combos and a value menu
for certain items so if you want another way to save money this could be an attractive proposition
for you it just might mean substituting a Big Mac for a McDouble or Junior Chicken but it can still
be delicious cheese please I need something with cheese everyone loves cheese right it's a favorite
topping of many and is added to sandwiches and burgers and many establishments worldwide they're
cheesy fries it's used in poutine and delicious fry Supreme as well and many other cheesy options
that you can choose from despite the great love her cheese that many people have at fast food
chains it often does not come automatically included in every item this is another way
that these establishments get you to pay something extra KFC for example charges a dollar and forty
cents for a drop of cheese in their fries I mean we were robbed and every burger place charges
more for cheeseburgers than they do for regular hamburgers these extra cheese charges don't look
like too much at first but they can certainly add up over time as you add more and more toppings to
your meal the price of cheese on hamburgers costs around 30 cents for most places and is sold at
a markup of over 400 percent as these costs gradually end up adding up it would be a wise
choice to forego the cheese saving a great amount of money in the process sticking to the basics
and once again possibly adding your own cheese or other solutions to this as well it was all red red
red all right we don't often think about the logos and colors of the restaurants and fast
food franchises we visit but the theory of color and marketing actually has a tremendous amount to
do with the logos that people design and there's a good reason for that red is the color that is most
likely to grab people's attention and it creates a sense of urgency and immediacy this in turn is
helpful because people will not only notice the sign or logo of the restaurant but will hopefully
trigger a response to visit the outlet because of the color we can see numerous examples in famous
fast food places such as McDonald's Wendy's KFC Pizza Hut and more the red also makes people eat
quicker which may result in them buying more as well the color red is also often associated
with excitement energy and action you feel that Energy red encourages you to become part of the
action and participate including buying into the process and telling others about it in addition
to all the previously mentioned appearances red is extremely prominent in the iconic Coca-Cola
logo which is also a featured drink at many fast food restaurants the psychology of color is a
trick used by all of these businesses to get more customers and get you to spend more once you've
entered the restaurant pay attention to this next time you venture out for some fast food and you'll
notice a massive amount of red signs beckoning you to come into their shops new to our Channel

for a limited time the clock is ticking what did the McRib and the Shamrock Shake have in common
these are all limited time items this strategy is employed by numerous establishments and is
quite an effective tool that gets many people to purchase more the fact that they're going to
disappear quickly after they're introduced gives people a much greater incentive to purchase these
items this strategy is used not just in the food industry but in all types of businesses as the
fear of missing out or fomo is real in many instances many people who wouldn't normally
look twice at a menu find their eyes gravitating towards limited time only items particularly in
the age of social media word of these items can spread quickly and become a great Trend
to get the time on websites like YouTube Twitter Instagram and Tick Tock it's all over social media
these events can include lots of advertising commercials and social media the build up to
the release and special bonuses for purchasing the items another way the company issues limited time
items to get you to spend more is by partnering with celebrities and other brands McDonald's has
experienced a tremendous amount of success with the Travis Scott and BTS meals so be vigilant
of these limited time promotions they're used as a way to get extra from you and besides many of
these items often make a return after they've gone anyway coupons coupons here's a coupon for one
cheese pizza at this next item may be surprising for some to see as a way that fast food chains
get you to spend more money but the truth about coupons is much more complex than meets the eye
many fast food places send out coupons in the mail give them away on the street and flyers
as well as on their apps and email newsletters not only is this a direct marketing tactic but it also
gives people an immediate incentive to purchase from the chain since they have a coupon and will
get a discount the trick here comes from the fact that the franchises will attract people who don't
usually eat fast food because they have a coupon and can get a discounted price price is too low
additionally these deals usually involve the purchase of an extra item or combo meal and will
drive customers away from purchasing something cheaper something akin to the value meal for
example the idea behind this coupon trick is that the more deals and incentives you're aware of and
the more times that you see the logo and Outlets the more likely you'll be to purchase something
coupons are more popular than ever these days and they continue to draw people into numerous fast
food establishments it's just another thing to watch out for when going out to eat kids meals can
I get a kid's meal I don't see no kids many fast food establishments do not only Market to adults
but to children as well as they can be a place for the whole family to go eat a large part of this is
a menu decorated with kids activities and offering kids meals the idea being that catering to the
kids will in turn bring the rest of the family into the store colorful characters and mascots
are often another way to get kids to choose certain fast food establishments additionally
goodies like toys as part of the kids meals are also a considerable incentive for many people
with the Happy Meal toys at McDonald's being the most famous example of this rule number one
I'm number one the bright colors and exciting ads and commercials of many fast food brands are
favorites of kids appealing to kids like this gets combined access to a whole additional demographic
that many would not traditionally Market to the whole family now gets involved and gives
the maximum amount of profit opportunities for franchises you can relate if ever as a parent or
a kid you kept returning to the local McD's Outlet to complete the full set of cards or
latest movie figures offered up in the Happy Meal the whole process is designed to create
more profit with other activities and games helping with this it's another great way for
these companies to get some extra cash from you perception and size ignorance perception do your
eyes deceive you this next spot on our list deals with the way size and perception of proportions
can trick your mind into wanting to eat and therefore spend more at restaurants a common
deception that is employed in many many places when people are offered a variety of different
sizes to choose from they're often more likely to indulge and this practice is seen frequently
when it comes to fast food the packaging of food sometimes creates the illusion that the portions
will be smaller than they are causing you to buy more this perception is a massive driver of
sales and because of the confusion it causes many people spend much more than they were originally
planning to to get larger portions some people will purchase multiple orders of smaller items
still another way to get more money out of you at fast food establishments sadly
There is almost always attached to such things many establishments also eliminate the need or
choice to choose different sizes in a combo for example so every item will be either small medium
or large and you cannot choose to get a smaller size when you want less healthy options hey
is that healthy food healthy options are all the rage these days whether it be making meals at home
to fancy restaurants to fast food places with many people wanting more options than the typical beef
and chicken burgers franchises have listened as a way to lure people in and get them to spend more
while there in terms of healthy food many health conscious options are now available at almost all
fast food franchises these days we've got vegan keto vegan raw keto vegan such as vegetarian
options plant-based sandwiches and burgers salads and more however these items also tend to skew on
the expensive side which isn't a great sign for anyone's wallets many of these items also feature
jacked up prices and their caloric content is just as much as the so-called non-healthy
options so choose carefully there are some things you might just be better steering clear of the
pricing format my price is the best price the pricing format is another sneaky way that many
a fast food places used as a way to take advantage of people and squeeze a few extra bucks out of the
non-savvy customer charm pricing is employed by a wide range of businesses the basic principle
is where items are priced at for example 5.99 instead of six dollars to make the price seem
more attractive and reasonable to customers they also use this on upsizing meals and by adding a
few extra cents or dollars to the bill once again they're getting extra money and have found another
way to get you to spend more we want money with inflation On The Rise prices all over keep going
up which is another reason to reconsider your next trip to a fast food establishment as an increase
in price is extremely common to see this pricing uncertainty combined with the inflation going on
in many countries means the ones supposedly cheap fast food meal can be anything but cheap these
days it's vital for customers to pay attention to these things and ensure they're focused on
saving money wherever possible so pricing tactics and the effects of inflation are definite things
to watch out for the convenience how convenient the number one way that fast food places trick
you into spending your hard-earned dough at their restaurants may be an obvious one but it's also
incredibly true to reality the simple truth is that the convenience of fast food is a massive
reason why it's so popular and people end up spending a large amount of money on it the number
of fast food locations the convenient opening hours being the only thing open late at night
and in comparison cheap prices are all reasons why people tend to spend money at them they remove the
need to go out of the way or having to travel far to get something to eat we need Adventure
excitement with a fast food franchise often not more than a few blocks away Nothing is Stopping
You from your midnight snack Cravings kicking in drive-throughs and delivery apps make this even
easier so you don't even need to get out of the car or even leave your house to order any of the
meals or treats that you're looking for the fact that it's so easy to access and buy makes it by
far the number one way that fast food restaurants get people to buy more products when looking to
save money you should think of options that might be a little more out of the way but are probably
much better for your health and wallet at the end of the day stick around for another great video
