SA reacts to the massive sale

The post, which was shared on 12 October, attracted many comments from social media users who were excited about the massive sale. For many, the discount was their chance to finally taste the expensive luxury chocolate. Many expressed interest in the sale, with many promising to go and get the chocolates immediately.
