The chocolate retail price unsettles Mzansi

Many online community members felt that the price was a bit steep since the chocolate was still new, asking others to give it more time to drop. Others suggested that for those who could not wait, they go 50/50 with friends.

User @Malaika said:

"R60 in this economy? Eh, I’ll wait till it’s R20🙊😭."

User @JC joked:

"Get friends to put money in and buy it together 😂 like that Dubai chocolate."

User @Ronelle de Bruin advised:

"Go to UK Emporium in Milnerton. They import that and distribute to most retail / corporates and will be much cheaper."

User @Gabrielle commented

"This is sooo good 🤤🤤 had them in the UK for a while now, and it's my new favourite 😍 but R60 is crazy for an Aero. it's about £1.50 here so only R30."
