# Sunk Cost Fallacy Activity Pack | Logical Fallacy | Critical Thinking Activities | Bloom's Taxonomy **Price:** $12.95 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) You're watching the worst movie of your life. It's been awful since the opening credits. Your friend wants to leave. But you say: "We paid $25 for this. I'm not bailing now!" The money is already gone. You're not getting it back whether you stay or leave. But it feels wrong to walk away after you've already invested — so you sit there for another 90 minutes, suffering through a film you hate, just to justify the $25 you already spent. That's the Sunk Cost Fallacy. You keep going with something - not because it's working, not because it makes sense - but because you've already put in too much time, money, or effort to quit.
