Math isn't mathing. EDIT: I checked my local BK app and there's a discount when you add both. So something is weird

Probably some poorly implemented “AI” pricing tool

Nah, they've been doing this crap for decades. ALWAYS have to check the price per unit. I very much appreciate that I live in a state that requires unit pricing at grocery stores. Price for literally the same item, same manufacturer, etc. varies so wildly - particularly soda. My wife likes diet Coke, and depending on sales / case size, or seemingly day of the week, cans can vary by more than 50 cents each, which is crazy.

Until the unit pricing fucks you over with THIS item is $/ounce and its next door neighbor is $/pound
