: ConglomeratePricing by the Calorie
By Gordon Smith, Christine, Hurt, Vic Fleischer, Fred Tung, Lisa Fairfax, David Zaring
KFC's new promotion -- a 395 calorie meal for $3.95 -- is brilliant. (KGC?)
Dave at 5 Blogs Before Lunch wants KFC to expand the promotion to the whole menu.
Their Roasted Caesar Salad (w/o Dressing & croutons) would be priced at $2.20, while their Popcorn Chicken family pack would cost $12.10 for a 1210 calorie purchase.
It would be a perfect way to hit consumers at their pocket books (the one true motivator) and encourage healthier eating.
And, imagine if others joined in:
A Double Quarter Pounder at McDonald's would cost $5.60. While Chicken McNuggets would only be $1.70.
A Burger King Triple Whopper would be $11.30 while a TENDERGRILL? Chicken Sandwich would only be $4.00
