On Twitter, the price of Pringles has been a bitter pill to swallow.
One tweep – who posted a pic of dozens of cans priced at the “value” cost of R39,99, had South African consumers riled up.
The tweep posted: “This is how I know our economic situation has gone to the dogs. These used to be R19.99 not so long ago”.
And many were in agreement:
@Zenande_lo: “These were R22/24.99 at PnP just last year!”
@S_Lutho: “And this is supposed to be on sale?”
@JameelaHarris: “I remember being able to get 3 for R60 at Checkers not too long ago”
According to The Cold Wire, factors like the ingredients used to make Pringles and their packaging tend to make them more expensive.
