   Well, they apparently make a whopping 50¢ for a mere slice of cheese over the 10¢ actual cost of it. Read on.

   they use to say a large drink cost them like 5 to 10 cents
   yes i am sounding old i remember when they were 1.99 for hamburger meal ..i am mid 40s doesnt seem that long ago..my kids pay now 5.50 for one w four nuggets a drink toy and fry..i would say profit on that is 4.00 bucks.
   I always ask for extra sauce or syrup or jelly …that way i have extra for huggets when i do them at home..
   since my one son orders tons of nuggets and never any sauce.

   There sure is a lot of marketing built into the packaging and the toy, so you know the food doesn’t actually cost them that much!

   they sell so many they cant possibly lose money on it, you take the cash to the bank not the food cost percentage.
