SK,

How is this any different than a cerial box maker offering a coupon to its customers? If the customer "chooses" not to use the coupon, are they being "forced" to pay the higher price?

The difference is that the cerial makers do not have a monopoly on food. And in case I do buy a cerial box, I don't have to use the coupon rebate to place an ad promoting the brand of cerial.
