People are shocked with the price of this new Woolworths dessert: ‘What a rip off’
- Replies 20
Indulging in desserts is a universal pleasure that transcends cultures and cuisines as they offer a delightful finale to any meal, satisfying sweet cravings and igniting the senses with their tantalising flavours and textures.
While some desserts may be available in certain regions, others remain exclusive to their country of origin.
One brand popular among sweet tooths in the US has now found a home Down Under.
An Australian shopper found that a selection of cheesecakes from The Cheesecake Factory is now available at Woolworths.
News of this exciting addition spread like wildfire when Rose Khater showcased the discovery on social media.
‘They’re only $30 and come in three flavours—Original, Raspberry White Chocolate, and Chocolate Mousse,’ she said.
‘[They] taste exactly like the original—only from Woolies.’
Some responses on social media regarding the 736-gram cake revealed jubilation.
‘I need to try,' one commenter exclaimed.
'I'm going to Woolies right now!' another said.
One mentioned their friend in the comments, stating ‘You love cheesecake.’
However, others found themselves baffled by the cake's cost.
‘Those are tiny. Costco has been selling the full-sized ones for ages for about the same price,’ one commented.
‘Not for 30 bucks, though lol,’ another replied.
‘“Only $30”, (I) can buy five normal ones for that,’ a third chimed. ‘I’d rather get the massive Costco one.’
‘“Only” must have some new meaning I’m not aware of,’ one added.
‘What a rip-off. So small. Just go [to a] cheesecake shop [and] get it fresh. Or Costco, huge one, cheap, too.’ another commented.
‘You’re saying $30 as if that wasn’t expensive for something smaller than your hand!’ another user said.
Whether you're lured by the novelty or a devotee of The Cheesecake Factory, now's the chance to pop into Woolworths and see what the hype is about.
This is not the first time that people questioned the price of Woolworths cakes.
Just last month, people on social media criticised a holiday offering for being priced too highly. You can read more about this and what Woolies had to say here.
