Where is the midly infuriating part?
Presenting the pricing as if it represents a bulk discount when it doesn’t.
The only reason to do this is to trick people who can’t do multiplication into buying more.
You can clearly see there is a sticker over the original price. It originally probably was a bulk deal that the store reduced to an all around deal.
You’re over here bitching about people who can’t do math and you can’t even see.
I’m bitching? About people who can’t do math? That’s news to me. Thank god you were there to tell me!
Yeah, but only for 1. There would still have been no saving buying 3 over 2.
It was pointed out that the first price was higher originally. The funny thing is that in that case the price of four would be nice to know. With the given information it would be economically more efficient to buy two times two if you wanted four vs one times three and then an additional one.

Well 2 is between 1 and 6, 3 is between 2 and 4. So for 4 I’d say anywhere from 35 to 39 dollars. Which is, itself, a spread of 4 so you know it’s right.
I can’t express the embarrassment I feel from how long it took me to understand this.
They’re dissociating the numbers on the right from their normal 2-digit value into being two separate 1-digit values. 16 is not sixteen, it’s a one and six. The value of 2 is between 1 and 6.
Same goes with 3 being between 2 and 4.
Then they do even more delightfully dumb shit when extrapolating this logic to 4.
In reality, the things in OPs image are just $8 a piece.
What I’m saying is that this commenter is a fuckin savant.
