Fast Food Marketing Chain: New Trend?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Georgia Southern chapter.

It all started with Wendy’s 4 for $4. Then McDonald’s 2 for $2, then Sonic’s 2 meals for $10, then Burger King’s 5 for $4, and now even Dairy Queen’s “Sweet Deals”. This is what we call marketing everyone! All these places are smart and competitive, because they saw how big of a hit Wendy’s 4 for $4 was and hopped on the bandwagon. Everyone’s question is what took you all so long? With the economy, we have you would think these deals would have been out long ago. These fast food places were smart, though, instead of raising the prices of their food they just gave us the illusion we are spending less. In reality, we are giving more money to these places more than ever before.

In the case, as you haven’t tried it yet, Wendy’s 4 for $4 comes with a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, 4 chicken nuggets, a small fry, and a small drink of your choice.

The 2 for $2 is your choice of any two items. You can pick from a McChicken, a McDouble, a small fry, and mozzarella cheese sticks.

 

Sonic’s 2 for $10 is your choice of two meals. Your choices are their Regular cheeseburger with fries or tater tots, and a Chili cheese Dog with fries or tater tots.

Burger King’s 5 for $4 comes with a Bacon cheeseburger, a small fry, a small drink, chicken nuggets, and a cookie.

 

Last but not least, Dairy Queen’s “Sweet Deals” gives you a wide range of variety. You can either get a cheeseburger, a beef hot dog, a chicken wrap, onion rings, French fries, side salad, medium drink, small sundae, or small ice cream. You can get 2 of these items for $3, 3 items for $4, and 4 items for $5. It’s hard to say who has the better deal, but they are all reasonable. Question, is who will be next in the fast food marketing chain?

 

 

Whoever it will be, these current deals look like they will be around for awhile, so enjoy!

I am a junior majoring in Multimedia Journalism. My future goals are to attend The School of Law at Georgia State University, obtain a business administration law degree from there, and pursue my dreams of broadcasting/news reporting in the city of Atlanta. I enjoy watching movies, shopping, and trying new foods. I guess you could call me a typical girl. My hobbies consist of playing the piano for 15 years, playing the violin for eight years, modeling, and pageants. What can I say, I love being in the spotlight, but with my laid back personality you would never think that. I also have a passion for fashion and interior decorating. I absolutely love animals.
