It's a marketing/pricing strategy.... they figure if something costs '99 cents' customers just plain think of it as cheaper than a dollar.
And the $1 -- it's just a price strategy.... think of it like this: The question you asked yourself -- is the EXACT same question they know millions of other people will ask themselves when they're standing there deciding which burget to buy. And naturally, you figure "heck, for one more cent, I get an extra patty," ...
SOOOOOO.... if ONE MILLION people make that decision -- that equates to: an extra $100,000.00 just because of the way people think.

Thats a hard question!Maybe a lot of ppl would be grossed out by two pattys and mcDonalds thinks the consumer wont mind paying a penny less for a single.

Hmmmmmmm ....... sounds like the corporate types believe that America's obesity problems should only cost a pretty penny.
