A Nigerian man identified as @TheLenny_ has complained about how many sugar wraps he bought from a supermarket store for ₦300.
The man shared on Twitter (X) that he paid ₦300 for six pieces, although the food items were sold for ₦10 to ₦20 before the price increase.
Online shoppers are awed by the sugar’s heart-shaped plastic packaging, which belies its high cost.
Many tweeps have flooded the comment section, comparing local sugar prices and other things.
Amid economic distress, many people theorized that the sugar is packaged in a heart shape to highlight its deliciousness.
Some netizens reminisce on when sugar was sold for the smallest amount of money.
Below are some reactions,
