What a Chili Cheese Fries costs across America
Priced at 3747 Wendy's restaurants in 45 states on the same day. The middle 80% of them charge between $3.69 and $4.69, a spread of 27%.
Each bar is the number of restaurants charging that price, and the gold bar holds the median. The last gathers everything at that price and above, so one distant outlier cannot flatten the rest.
Point at a bar, or tab to it, for the count and the share of restaurants at that price.
The cheapest Chili Cheese Fries in the sample is $2.29 in HAW RIVER, NC, and the most expensive is $5.89 in LEBEC, CA. Both are single restaurants, which is why the headline above uses the middle 80% instead.
