superadditive burger toppings
I was at an American restaurant and bar in Brooklyn the other day with a couple of friends, and we noticed some very amusing things on the menu. I took photos with my trusty cell phone, which I've cropped, combined, and enhanced so that you can actually read it...

The next thing is really funny. The cost of a plain burger is $6.75. The cost of a cheeseburger (any type of cheese!) is $6.95. That's 20 cents for the cheese. Fine. Now, the cost of a bacon burger is $6.95, making the incremental cost of the bacon 20 cents. I'm not sure I want to know where they got bacon at 10 cents a strip, but anywhere, there it is, fine. Now the kicker. The price of a bacon cheeseburger is... what's that you say? $6.75 + $.20 + $.20 = $7.15? Great guess! But wrong. They charge 35 extra cents to put both the bacon and the cheese on your burger. $7.50. I'm baffled.
I had the plain burger. It was okay.
