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.

It probably once did, but they relabeled it.

Yeah, but only for 1. There would still have been no saving buying 3 over 2.

It only makes sense they did if the origianl price was higher, which is quite weird unless they specifically don’t want people to buy more than 1

I’d argue it’s a nice thing to make the costs obvious for people who can’t do multiplication.

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.

Put your calculators away boys. Looks like the store discovered how math works.

We haven’t yet discovered the mathematics needed to answer that question

I think I figured it out:

The left number is always going one up, while rights number decrease - starting at two - always halves itself.

Therefore 5 should be 42.5
