You buy it for $99c but you're also probably going to want a drink, which is marked up over 300%. And I'm not sure how the margin of fries is... but yeah...

They may bleed the cost of a McChicken sandwich in other ways, but I can almost guarantee the food item cost of the sandwich is about 30c. My work has a very similar one dollar sandwich and I believe the cost, to my work, is somewhere around there.

At least over by me the $1 ones use thinner and smaller patties and come with a small amount of lettuce and mayo. We still.have the normal sized ones that run 3-4 bucks. Great blog, sums up my thoughts about them
