The original poster (OP) took to a public Facebook page called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=1328608989273795&amp;set=a.515683070566395\"><span>MelakaExplorer<\/span><\/a> to share their experience, posting a photo of the small cup of gummies that cost more than what many would pay for a proper meal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;The actual situation at the food festival \u2013 my younger sibling scooped a full cup just like in the photo, and the vendor smiled and said, &#8216;RM57, sister&#8217;.

The OP\u2019s younger sibling who wanted some gummies had scooped a cup full of that sugary goodness. We\u2019re assuming that particular snack booth allows customers to help themselves to their own portions. The vendor then with a big smile on their face revealed the outrageous price to the OP\u2019s mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Netizens said that they should&#8217;ve returned the gummies, instead of paying<\/h2>\n<p>The caption revealed the OP\u2019s mother\u2019s disbelief, prompting others to share their own experiences of pricey food and drinks at similar food festivals. Some even commented that the OP\u2019s mother shouldn\u2019t have paid for it and should have instead returned the gummies to the vendor.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/Gummies%201.jpeg?resize=400%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Gummies 1\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 400px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;At food festivals, markets, malls, or rest stops that sell items by weight, I\u2019ve never bought anything.

Netizens debated whether this was simply the cost of convenience or if it highlighted the lack of regulation in pricing within such areas. Some sympathised with the man and argued that RM57 for a cup of gummies was outrageous. Others pointed out that such incidents serve as a reminder for visitors to check prices before purchasing to avoid surprises at the cashier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Source: Facebook | MelakaExplorer)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":268230141,"featured_media":186,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[422],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
