Instead of having customers donate a dollar and giving them a coupon book "worth" $30, why doesn't KFC just donate those $30 themselves (or even half)?
I'm guessing it drives more profits

definetly true. I need to look at the next truck order, I'm curious what they're paying for this stuff. see what sorts of margins they've got.
A five gallon BiB of coke syrup is like $100 (maybe less if you purchase at volume like KFC's parent company surely does.
That can make ~120 large size drinks.
That's 83¢ per drink in syrup.
A quick look seems like I could get 1000 Styrofoam cups and lids for $120ish (straws are so cheap as to not even need to be included, 0.006¢ per drink) so about 12¢ per drink.
So about 95¢ in supplies, plus maintenance for the machines, CO2, cleaning labor costs... Around $1-$1.10?
But even that sounds high I bet companies like YUM inc get most of these supplies way cheaper than I was looking on restaurant supply sites by buying in huge bulk amounts.
yeah the box of Pepsi costs $105, couldn't tell you what cups cost
