❌ PEOPLE ARE NOT RATIONAL!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📦 We like groups and categories.

🍔 A burger is fattening and a salad is healthy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 If you ask people to guess the number of calories, they’ll say 500 for a burger and 100 for a salad.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍔🥗 But ask them for a burger and salad combo?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥 They’ll guess 400!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 This is called the sub-additive effect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 Because the burger and the salad exist in different groups in people’s minds (fattening and healthy), when bundled - people average out their guess across those two groups!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 Same happens in pricing.
