It costs more than $2 for the food. Logical fallacies are a common thing around here, get used to it.

But in the restaurant business, lunch specials are cheaper, because they make up for the lower profit margin with the higher profit margin drink orders. A Corona is $5.20. A glass of Coke or Rootbeer is $4.00. Mixed drinks start at $8, average at $11, with a couple of specialty drinks over $30.
