  It doesn’t even earn any money.

  Neither do the rotisserie chickens at the store. Or Costco’s $1.50 hot dog and soda combo.

  Chrome isn’t intended to make money, it’s a loss leader.

    It’s a side point, but the costco hotdogs do absolutely turn a profit. $1.50 seems unreasonably low because of how much we’re used to paying for food these days, but its hotdogs and a fountain drink, the cost of ingredients is next to nothing.

      It still takes way more than a $1.50 to produce the bun, dog and drink.

        Sorry, you’re correct - I should have said they do not make a loss on the sales, (turn a profit is obviously a bit of a stretch) since they use their existing infrastructure to offset the operational expenses.
