Consumers try to reduce this anxiety by selecting only a couple of criteria (say price and quantity) to determine the best value for money.
A decoy steers you in a particular direction while giving you the impression that you are making a rational, informed choice.
Consider the price of drinks at a well-known juice bar: a small (350 ml) size costs $6.10; the medium (450 ml) $7.10; and the large (610 ml) $7.50. The medium is a slightly better value than the small, and the large better still. The medium is designed to be the decoy, steering you to see the biggest drink as the best value for money.
