Question 10
X was the idea of David Wallerstein, a Y executive who worked
for a chain of movie theaters in the 1950s and 1960s.

While working at the movie theaters, Wallerstein was tasked
with boosting sales of popcorn and soda. Wallerstein
discovered that it was very difficult to persuade customers to
purchase more than one soda or bag of popcorn.
"I soon discovered that customers could be persuaded to pay
for more up front.”

Although Y executive Ray Kroc was initially skeptical of
Wallerstein's proposal to change Y meals (believing that people
who wanted more fries would buy two bags), he eventually
agreed to try Wallerstein's idea.

The sales results led to the program being rolled out in the
1990’s throughout Y restaurants.
