BECAUSE SODA AINT WORTH SHIT
As a former manager of a burger joint, I know that on our busiest and most profitable nights, yes we lost money on burgers. Tuesdays are half price burger nights at Sonic and we'd sell 2,500 sodas, costing 35¢, for $1.89 each.(A $30 box of coke syrup makes a hundred 32 oz sodas). That's a 540% markup. Soda absolutely IS a huge profit center for burger joints. An 89¢ burger loses money in order to sell soda.


Now we just need to figure out how to get people to buy "soda" with their porn. I suspect Google has the right idea. They do not try to sell email related products via Gmail, nor office products via Google docs, so we don't have to sell adult products via porn. Playboy sells cologne, mens fashion, etc. via porn.
