To anyone who may have taken the time to read the special properly, one would easily notice that it isn’t much of a special at all – unless you consider a 2-cent saving as a good deal.

“I might have failed my maths but not this way!!”

South African social media users flocked in on the post to share their jokes and opinions on the peculiar special.

@TheKnowledge999 said:

“It's your misinterpretation. The board information is that when you buy 2 for R30, which is an equivalent of R14.99 each. The original price isn't listed in the board.”

@k_midlands responded:

“Isn’t R15x2=R30.”

@LwandoScotch reacted:

“That's 14.99 not R15 so u save 2cents.”

@AbutiJosef said:

“Lol, this kind of marketing works. Many will buy two even though there is nothing to save.”

@psyfocateh commented:

“Nah there must be a mistake Sparletta 2L can't be R14.99 but R16.99 that price (R14.99) is for 1.5L a scanning clerk made a mistake.”
