Point 1
Imagine that Prosperity Burger were made available for the whole year long. With the new marketing plan, the name 'Prosperity Burger' no longer appropriate 'cause it can't possible be prosper for the whole year right? When it's on the month of Chinese New Year, it works its magic well, but definitely not the whole year. Then, possible new name? Black Pepper Burger. When the novelty of it was lose, then sales of it would decrease.
Point 2
Then, with the all year round thing, they can't charge high like what they did now. I mean, RM 11.80 for the whole set? Way too expensive. So, new price is set which should be less than RM10, like the rest of the McValue Meals. Less profit earned. But with new and lower price surely means more customers, right? Possibly, but not necessary. Refer to Point 1.
Point 3
And that Twisted Fries that comes along with it? You go to Tesco or Giant and you can buy a pack of it with the money they charged us for that size. It might work for Prosperity Burger but definitely not for Black Pepper Burger.
Conclusion
The whole thing about Prosperity Burgers being made available for a certain period of time is a business gimmick created to trick people into buying it. People have the tendency to buy items that are of limited edition or collector's item even there's no practical use to it. With such idea in mind, McD exploits the very weak spot of humans and starts pilling up profits. In the end, it's prosperity for them, poverty - both in financial and health matters - for us.
I rest my case.

You identify, people always manufacture comments when anything is predicted to come to pass in 2012, like “obviously that is if the faction is still here.” You do realize that the Mayans prognosticate the faction will end on Dec. 21 (or 23rd)? So in all good chance if anything is accepted to turn up in 2012 there is only the slimmest chance that the everybody will secure ended forward of it happens.
