“The image of 100 yen ice cream．．．” Meiji’s “Super Cup” price hike exceeds 180 yen， raising consumers’ awareness of the “barrier of spending on ice cream．”
“The image of 100 yen ice cream…” Meiji’s “Super Cup” exceeds 180 yen after price hike, consumers are conscious of the “wall of spending on ice cream” 2024.07.24 15:00 Money Post Web The wave of price hikes is hitting ice cream, a convenient snack. Meiji has announced price increases and changes to the contents of a total of 128 items, including ice cream and chocolate, starting with shipments on September 2nd. The 19 ice cream products affected will have price increases ranging from approximately 5 to 11%. The long-selling brand Meiji Essel Super Cup (hereinafter referred to as Super Cup), which will celebrate its 30th anniversary this September, will be raising its price from the current 172 yen to 183 yen (all prices below include tax). Looking back at the price of the Super Cup, it was 103 yen when it was released in 1994. The price was raised by 20 yen for the first time in 2008 (to 126 yen), by 10 yen in 2015 (to 140 yen), and by 10 yen in 2019 (to 151 yen), surpassing 150 yen. Since 2022, the price has been increasing at a rate of about 10 yen per year, but those from a generation that has a strong image of the “100 yen era” that lasted for about 15 years have expressed surprise that the latest price increase has brought the price above 180 yen. The image of “100 yen ice cream” is too strong. Mr. A, a man in his 30s who works at an IT company, said he was surprised not only by the price increase of “Super Cup,” but also by the current price. “When I was a child, I loved Super Cup Vanilla and ate it often. I don’t remember eating it since I started working… The image of “100 yen ice cream” was so strong that I was surprised when I heard on the news that the current price was 172 yen and would rise to 183 yen. “I can’t believe it’s gone up so much since I stopped eating it.” After the price revision, it will stay in the 100 yen range at 183 yen, but Mr. A can’t hide his shock at the change in the times, saying, “It’s still almost the same as 200 yen.” *Click the link for the full text.

Under this hellish LDP-Komeito government, incomes are falling and the only things that are rising are taxes and prices.

It costs 110 yen if you buy it at a supermarket or drugstore.

>>5 I usually think it’s about 100 yen + tax at the supermarket But was it 172 yen at the convenience store?

Poor people have no choice but to make their own shaved ice to eat.
0008Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:18:33.88ID:ncZr8Gnz0
It’s usually 98 yen at the local supermarket.
0009Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:18:39.30ID:Mdr/1+hX0
At the local supermarket it’s still only 88 yen or so, but I’m wondering whether I should buy a lot of them now.
0010Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:18:39.67ID:g0oOfa3h0
200 yen for something this tasty (lol) They were an ally of the poor.

Super Cup Vanilla smells too chemically and is too yellow.
0012Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:19:00.78ID:0A29p7YS0(1/2)
At the local supermarket it was 109 yen excluding tax. Even so, the price went up so I’ve started buying less. I think it was around 90 yen until recently.

It’s so expensive! I’m surprised because I always buy from cheaper stores.
0014Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:19:11.16ID:g2nbjy9M0
It’s a price hike to take advantage of the situation.

It’s crazy expensive at convenience stores, but cheap at supermarkets and drug stores.
0031Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:21:14.42ID:m8guBVSr0
If I buy ice cream in bulk, I end up eating too much and it’s gone quickly. I wish they would deliver it by drone just once a day.

You can mass produce it with a machine at the push of a button, so if the price goes up, it just doesn’t seem like you’re making enough effort.

>>32 If that’s the case, what about canned juice, which can be consumed simply by pouring it? The rising costs are due to rising distribution costs.
0035Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:22:01.23ID:D6sm/4h70
Huh? I only buy it when it’s around 100 yen.
0036Anonymous donburako rolling around.Jul. 24, 2024 (Wed) 17:22:06.31ID:kpoXVB5U0
It’s okay, it’s 150 yen at the supermarket.

Also, Garigari-kun comes in a family pack. Even though it’s meant for the whole family, I feel a sense of superiority being able to have it all to myself. It may seem pathetic, but it’s also brave.

Don’t use convenience stores.

I’m looking for some soda ice cream with two sticks, but I can’t find it anywhere.
