What's interesting about this to me is the perception of value. I have never run or worked in a restaurant but I'm sure like any business most of the cost is labor, rent, utilities and taxes. I have to think that the cost of the actual onion has to be about 5 cents per order so why not give a huge amount? The cost of labor and to cook it is no more and a full looking plate overflowing with onion rings is cheap advertisement and would let you get away with a smaller burger or higher price.
Dunno. My 2 cents.
