Only of you need two of the same thing.
Only if you get two.
I was wanting to buy say, an Enya CD…
I would be happier if I get one for half price, rather than getting two of the same album for full price.
no bc you got enya
Objectively wrong.
The best kind of wrong!
Not at all. Half price for one, versus half price for at least 2…
And you still have to buy an even number. Also, only if all items are the same price.
It’s the same percentage paid for the items. 2 for the price of 1 or 1 for half price.
Lets say i sell you one thing for 5 bucks. And i also want to sell you 100 of the things for 500 bucks. Are these the same deal to you? Why not? The savings are the same no?
I like that you exaggerated the amount. That’s smart, I’d just double it, but your way makes it much easier to understand. Good job Sir.
As everyone has pointed out, only if the plan was always to buy two.
One moves twice as much product as the other.
Not if you want to buy a hammer. BOGO costs you twice as much as -50% and you’d have to carry out two hammers like a madman.
I love how everything is funnier when I’m high
Don’t hammer whilst on drugs kids.
It can be a gateway to ridiculous trousers.
Am I dumb as fuck or is OP just wrong?
Yes.
I can only definitively answer on the second part, but i’ll take a gamble on the whole thing.
Well if you buy two of the thing, then the two deals are functionally the same. However, if you only want to buy one, then it’s not the same thing. One gives you thing at half price, the other makes you spend the same amount as full price but gives you double the product
To be even more precise than the other comments: This is only the same deal if you buy an even number of them.
Would you rather buy a car that’s 50% off, or a car that’s BOGO
Would depend on whether you have use for two cars
Y’all, they are not wrong mathematically if you are buying things in pairs, it only doean’t work if you are buyng an odd number of things. So not entirely as wrong as you all seem to be indicating…
Your argument “They’re the same only under specific conditions” only proves they’re not the same.
Really?
I had no idea how math/percentages work.
(Yes, that’s sarcasm because no, this isn’t a shower thought, it’s grade-school math).
And two for the price of one
