Vanilla Shock: Belarusian Shopper Highlights Astronomical Price Per Kilogram in Supermarket
Minsk, Belarus – A recent video circulating online has sparked discussion among consumers after a man highlighted what appears to be an unusually high price for vanilla powder in a local supermarket. The video, uploaded by user mr.chimbur, shows a packet of "Dr. Bakers Vanillin-Intensiv" priced at 1 ruble 15 kopecks for a 2-gram package. However, the accompanying price tag also indicates a per-kilogram cost of 575 Belarusian rubles. The author of the video expressed surprise at this unit price, questioning, "What can cost 575 Belarusian rubles per 1 kg?" The significant difference between the small packet price and the extrapolated kilogram price has drawn attention to how unit pricing can sometimes reveal unexpected costs for everyday items. While individual packets are affordable, the per-kilogram price suggests vanilla powder is among the most expensive items by weight in the store.
