Boneless Wings Pricing Blunder

  • Boneless Wings Pricing Blunder

  • A humorous observation about a bar menu listing boneless wings for ".25 cents each".

  • The Menu Math

    • On November 6, 2014, I noticed a funny pricing error on a bar's Monday night special menu:
      • "our Boneless Wings are on special for .25 cents each with a minimum of 10 wings in an order"
    • Mathematically, .25 cents is a quarter of a single cent.
    • A minimum order of 10 wings would only cost two and a half cents, prompting me to joke that I should order 12 wings for exactly 3 cents.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
