From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia “"Nullum
gratuitum prandium est" non veritas est.” Contrary to popular
knowledge, there is such a thing as a free lunch. For years,
theoretical prandiologists have been combining work in physics,
economics, and hamburgerology, and have determined several
possible domains in which there may exist a gratis mid-day meal.
Mega Marginal McNugget TheoremChicken McNuggets provided a now-
famous experimental example: - 6 McNuggets cost $0.99, or $0.165
per McNugget. - 9 McNuggets cost $1.26, or $0.14 per McNugget. -
20 McNuggets cost $1.80, or $0.09 per McNugget. By extrapolating
the unit cost of the individual McNugget relative to the package
cost, we see that the cost for marginal McNuggets approaches
zero and eventually becomes negative. Once a suitably large
number of McNuggets are packaged, the negative-cost McNuggets
offset the positive-cost McNuggets, resulting in zero net cost
-- a free lunch. It is important to note that these
circumstances have only been creat
