Burger King

Onion rings cost the same as fries at $3.39 medium and are the more distinctive side — Burger King is one of the few national chains to carry them.

Dunkin'

The $5 and $6 Meal Deals bundle a hot breakfast item with a medium coffee for roughly the price of the coffee plus a dollar.
A dozen donuts at $14.99 is $1.25 each against $1.79 bought singly — the box is worth it from about seven donuts onwards.
