    Three for less than a cent? That seems implausible.

      Haha, I love how enthusiastic and forgiving OP is when it comes to these things. I’ve never had one, but higher prices and less ingredients/filling seems to be an unfortunate trend everywhere. Most sandwiches I see lately are 90% bread.

        $1.50 is that floor for a good one of these. Bulk pricing and cheap labor could make this price possible. I think 3 is what a person might pay. PS not a chef, not a finance person.

          As a Norwegian, sandwiches are supposed to be 90% bread. But it's supposed to be good bread, not this nonsense Americans keep putting up with.

            It must be so nice to have a variety of high quality breads to choose from. Authentic whole grain and rye breads are hard to find in my country. I’m sure Americans have access to different types of artisan breads, but the type used in fast food seems horribly over-processed and sugary.

            Even with good bread, I like to be able to taste all the ingredients in the sandwich. Higher ingredient-to-bread ratios.

                What I primarily miss in American bread is texture. Americans think white vs. whole grain are the only variations of flour, and are missing out on a whole world where the flour isn't ground to dust. Adding some ratio of medium and coarse ground flour is what gives the texture sorely missing in the floppy sadness Americans call bread.

                  Well you forgot to factor in the CEO pay and "line go up" requirement, so clearly you're not a finance bro!

                        Important to note that restaurants don't pay grocery store prices. I worked at a shop a couple decades ago that decided they had to grab ingredients at a grocery store due to Sysco stiffing them on some stock, and long story short no money was made that day.

                          I believe they are pointing out that $0.29 is 29 cents while your .29 cents is $0.0029. Thus you can get 3 for less than a cent.

                                  Ooh, that looks good. I had to look up how it looks. I learned to cook a lot of new different things simply because I wanted foods that are extremely uncommon where I live.

                                  I hope you find your perfect pumpernickel!

                                        I find it interesting that Lemmy memes about beans and yet the slightest amount of fiber in their diet makes their colon explode in celebration, like an oasis in a desert in the once a decade rain

                                        You think the fiber is the thing giving people the shits? It's the spices and grease.
