Actually their biggest money maker by percentage is cheese. They charge an extra $0.10 for cheese on a burger yet they buy it by the pound. With their bulk purchasing, they a paying nothing for it litteraly. You know how many slices come from a 5 pound block?

I was a manager at a mcdonalds and actually we made more money off of soda and not a lot of people get extra cheese so thats all figured into the cost of the items that use it. Sure we make some good money off of cheese but chees is still kind of pricey!

Not to mention up until about a year ago the store I worked at never charged for extra cheese.

I said percentage, not $. I was not talking about extra cheese. I was just talking about cheese. The difference in a hamburger and cheeseburger is ten cents. Same with the Big'n Tasty with Cheese versus without.

How much does each slice cost you? 1/50th of a cent and you get 10 cents for it? That is a huge profit margin! A drink costs you a few cents and you charge a buck for it! Large too, but not as large.

Ok, nobody pointed this out and its bugging me, so I have to. Ford owns Aston Martin, so when you buy an Aston Martin, you are buying a Ford. The V-12 engine in the Vanquish was actually based off of 2 Ford taurus V-6 engines stuck end to end.

Not that it has anything to do with this thread at all.

That is not true. Ford also owns mazda. You need to come over and see if you can find a single ford part on my miata. Ford,a s far as mazda is concerned, owns a cotroling protion of the company and do not dictate certian portions of the mazda brand. In fact ford bought mazda for there 4 banger development. Notice alot of Rangers on the road since the 80s? Could be wrong here but the Focus zetec was built by ford folks. Lasttime I kept up with the focus there was a 400k car recall.

Secondaly the "duratec" v6 that is in the taurus is also in the mazda6 however mazda has put there own spin, reliability and more hp, into the motor.

building a v-12 is more than slapping 2 6's togther.

But I am still saying the store made much MORE money on drinks then they do off of the cheese.

Yes, overall they do. But the ROI on cheese is the largest they have. I understand you point thatis why I highlighted percentage not dollars.

Again trivial pursuit!

guys all i m saying is a body is a body just like a shirt is a shirt. U can buy a abercrombrie shirt that says abercrombrie across the chest for $20 and they re shirts r durable and tough and last a long time. then u can buy a versacse shirt that says versacse across the chest for $150. (can tspell those names hehehe) so i guess ur buying the name when it comes it to paintball just like the fashion industry.

Lets compare it this way. Spyders cost less because of their production methods. That's like buying any regular shirt from a store. AGD makes less and they are more customized. That's like buying a one off shirt from a fashion designer.
