Every time you opt to pay extra for cheese, you’re paying, on average, a 417% markup for that extra slice of creamy goodness, according to a study by PlateIQ.

Here’s exactly how much you’re overpaying for that slice of cheese on your hamburger (https://www-marketwatch-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/guid/E4ADA4D4-1A4B-11E7-A49C-FC6A226FDFDD?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQECAE4AQ%3D%3D#referrer=https://www.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marketwatch.com%2Fstory%2Fheres-exactly-how-much-youre-overpaying-for-that-slice-of-cheese-on-your-hamburger-2017-04-05)

It's not the same as back in the day when you could just throw out some seeds and be happy.
