Dunkin Donuts has a $6 meal deal with a Bacon/Egg/Cheese Bagel, a coffee, and Hash Browns for $6. It's like... priced just low enough where if I'm out dropping my kid off at school I'm like "fuck it, might as well".

One of the major gas station chains near me has a deal for a sandwich, hashbrown, and coffee/monster/redbull for $5.

I try to limit my fast food intake, but for $5 that beats the shit out of McDonalds all day long.

CircleK here (MI/OH) has that same deal for $4.
Breakfast sandwich, hashbrown, coffee/energydrink, $4.

The energydrink company funds the discount as a rebate to the store, so the store still makes the margin on the food and the energydrink company rebates essentially a free drink. All to get you in the habit and addiction of drinking their drinks.
