Internet users are not fans of Bakers Biscuits' price

The viral post reached over half a million social media users who headed to the comment section to express their thoughts about the item's steep price increase.

@Ntsoanef said to the online community:

"I always thought these were going for R50. So much money for refined carbs, excessive salt and sugar? Glad I’m not the target market."

Because the biscuits are typically eaten during the festive period, @BaeSickGuy stated:

"Christmas can miss me."

@sowazis reminded app users:

"It is 2kg, people. 1kg is roughly R190, so this is not a bad price for a 2kg."
