A $20 Easter egg, a $122 Lindt bunny and a $200 Ferrero Rocher cone are simply a few of the exorbitant choccy costs leaving Internet customers agog.
A $20 400g Cadbury Easter egg (obtainable at Coles) kicked issues off with u/Minute-Masterpiece98 posting “An unmissable Easter deal – Welcome, to the $20 egg” on the subreddit r/AussieCasual.
Users labored out {that a} 360g bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate retailed for $6 {dollars} at Coles.
This meant buyers shopping for the egg bought 40g extra chocolate however for triple the value.
“Good god. I remember, like 10 years ago, I asked for the 1kg egg as a joke and it was $25 — and that felt like a stupidly expensive option,” u/unconfirmedpanda wrote.
Not to be outdone, a 1kg bunny was on supply at IGA supermarkets.
Considering IGA sells a 200g Lindt bunny for $14 — the 1kg bunny works out to be nearly double the fee.
“$120 is one day (worth of ) work (for) many, that’s how crazy it is,” u/nastylaw wrote.
But u/silkypuma gained the pattern with a $200 Ferrero Rocher cone offered by Woolworths at Christmas.
The $200 Christmas cone labored out to price $2.08 a chocolate.
This means the Ferrero Rocher egg obtainable for Easter at $16 for 16 items is healthier worth.
However, the 30-piece reward pack at $22 is by far one of the best worth coming in at 73c a chunk.
U/em-ay-tee claimed they labored at Woolworths and stated: “They don’t sell at all. And the ones within reach of customers get damaged. So they all end up behind the service desk. No one goes near them or wants them.”
