To the surprise of many viewers, the math reveals that the individual items, when ordered separately, add up to a lower total cost than the ''special' deal. This unexpected revelation sparked a flurry of comments and discussions.

@DebbieVanV:

"Mind blown! I need to recalculate all my pizza orders now."

@SavingsGuru:

In related news, Briefly News reported that the Mzansi digital space is one again reacting to funny images from one of the biggest retailers. Looking at the pictures posted by one famous social media user, the shop displayed a number of specials.

However, it seems the mathematics is not spot on, and Mzansi finds the pictures hilarious, and they shared their comments.
