@lieswebought: Ever wonder why you walk out of the movies with a massive bucket of popcorn you did not even want? You just got hit with the decoy effect. The decoy effect happens when a third, less attractive option is added to a choice set to nudge you toward a specific pick. Usually, businesses add a medium size that costs almost as much as the large. It makes the most expensive option look like the best value for your money. #BiggerIsBetter #SizeInflation #ConsumerPsychology #marketingpsychology #marketing
Great example is Starbucks Grande vs Vente. It’s like 15 cents more for a vente

When I GMed a Regal, the actual cost to produce a small popcorn was $0.06 and a large was $0.25. The markups are insane.

The small option also doesn't exist to be bought. A small popcorn is about enough to make it halfway through the previews before the movie starts.

I’m getting the large anyways… in our local theater they let you refill the large as many times as you want. It’s a bargain.

I remember doing the data analysis for a group who was doing research on this in the early 2000's. Most of the time I didn't really get involved with what I was working on, just looked at it as data. This was one I truly enjoyed reading.
