@PopTartsUS sad news. Economy kinda like really sucks rn. Just wanted to just treat myself since I grew up on off brand products. I budget fairly well I feel. Given that the cost of everything has increased about 25% since 2020.
60% profit and 25% loss for customer
8ct box $2.99 = $0.37
5ct box $2.99 = $0.59
Thatโs a 37.5% increase in cost per item. Thatโs 37.5% profit.
Thatโs 60% less product being sold but price customer is paying is the same.
Since quality control is lacking only received 4ct instead of 5ct.
So thanks for making a small treat not worth paying for again but at least you made an additional profit of 74.75ยข when you advertised as โSuper Stuffed Poptartโ and it was finally just enough to not have the pastry be dry and flavorless. The icing has always been lacking
Customers loss: about $0.60
Product shortage: 1 out of 5 items = 20% less product than promised
The customer pays - $2.99 for 4 items, or 74.75ยข per item, instead of 59.8ยข per item.
An increase of cost by 25%
Travelers react react to Palm Beach Airport being renamed after Donald Trump:
"I think it's patently absurd that we're spending taxpayer money to rename an airport after a criminal that's sitting in the White House."
"It's disgusting, ridiculous, pompous and a lot of other bad things. I do not like it at all."
In 1976, 82-year-old Norman Rockwell was asked to create a painting for Americaโs bicentennial.
Instead of something grand, he painted an aging artist carefully lettering a simple โHappy Birthdayโ banner across the Liberty Bell.
A quiet joke about growing older and about knowing simplicity is often the hardest thing to paint.
