Question

Why does burger king charge more for a double cheeseburger than 2 single cheeseburgers?

Answer 1

I've often wondered this myself........... I wish they would compete with McDonalds and put it on their value menu!

Answer 2

because people will buy it

Answer 3

Probably Because People dont want to buy TWO burgers for themselves, because it looks greedy, but the double is made for 1 only...so they know people will pay more i guess?

Answer 4

because they know people will pay the price

Answer 5

That is a very good question!  Maybe we'll find out this very day.  I hope so.

Answer 6

Probably because it's a different sandwich, and they put one more extra piece of bread or whatever, that is how they probably justify it.

Answer 7

Hmm, I've never noticed that. That's really stupid because obviously they are only having to use one bun so if anything it should be cheaper. I guess just because they can.

Answer 8

I don't know...maybe the same reason that McDonalds charges more for a cheeseburger meal than a bacon cheeseburger meal...
