One netizen was not taking the price increase lying down as he took to social media to complain. Twitter user @vendavendor hilariously asked in a Twitter post whether Woolworth's chicken got a degree, which would justify why it's more expensive. Although Woolworths did not get in on the action, many South Africans agreed with @vendavendor's observation.

Other people soon reacted to the tweet with hilarious memes. Many even began to question whether the chicken was worth it.
