The leading hot-tiao company announced a price increase, will you still buy it?

The increase in the price of spicy strips will not affect my desire to buy. After all, prices are rising now. It is understandable that the price of spicy strips has increased. Moreover, as one of the snacks, spicy strips also have different effects on us. meaning.

When I think of spicy sticks, I always think of the spicy sticks that cost 10 cents a piece, the drinks that cost 20 cents a bag, and the dried mango and Tang monk meat that cost 50 cents each in the canteen when I was a kid. These cheap and delicious snacks became the source of happiness for us when we were young. Looking back now, we still miss the taste of spicy strips when we were young.

As our generation grows up, spicy strips have also moved from kiosks and campuses to mass-produced production lines and supermarkets. Not only children like to eat them, but young people also eat spicy strips. It has gradually become an increasingly large snack category, occupying "half of the snack industry".

Recently, Weilong and Spicy Prince, two leading companies of spicy strips, announced that they would raise product prices. Many netizens said, “I couldn’t afford spicy strips when I was a child, and I won’t be able to afford them when I grow up.”

In this regard, Spicy Prince explained that since 2022, affected by the continued rise in global bulk raw material prices, grain, oil and food prices have repeatedly hit new highs, so the raw material costs of products are also rising. The main raw materials used in the production of spicy strips are: rapeseed oil, flour, chili pepper, spices, packaging materials, etc.

I can understand the fact that leading companies have announced price increases. After all, as a company, costs and corporate profits must be the first priority, especially during the current epidemic, when all walks of life are facing difficulties. Appropriate price adjustment is also for the better survival of the enterprise. The main reasons why I choose to continue buying spicy strips are the following three reasons:

1. The choice to continue buying spicy strips probably comes from the memories and feelings for spicy strips. After all, the memories of my childhood are still good. Not many were recovered. When I was little, my favorite food was spicy strips and ham sausage. Although now that I have grown up, I still buy spicy strips and ham sausage every time I go to the supermarket to buy snacks. This has become a habit of mine.

2. Nowadays, the prices of oil, vegetables, fruits and other daily necessities are rising, so I am not much shocked by the increase in the price of spicy strips, nor do I find it unacceptable. After all, among the foods we eat, spicy strips are relatively affordable and not something we would be reluctant to eat.

3. Although I have no objection to the price increase of spicy strips, I still hope that merchants can insist on controlling the quality of food while regulating prices, so that the price does not go up while the quality drops. Anyway, sometimes the spicy strips I buy disappoint me. Even if the quantity is small, the key is that they are not delicious.

So, as costs rise and the price of spicy strips increases, as long as the product quality, taste and food safety are in place, I will still support it.
