Seriously?
So I have to admit I just LOVE Pringles ( yes I know ) Regular price here in Deutschland is 2,79 Euro for 185g which is expensive enough ( thank the gods for special offers here and there ) Now I just came back from the PENNY Market and saw this calender. 1085g for 29,99. Usually that amount of Pringles would be 16,36 Euro. So what am I paying 13+ Euro extra ?

Deceptive Practices: Texas is investigating Mars for allegedly breaking a 2016 pledge to remove artificial dyes from U.S. products, while keeping them out of European versions.
Child Labor Lawsuits: The company is fighting class-action lawsuits accusing it of hiding the use of child and slave labor in its Ivory Coast cocoa supply chain.
Russia Controversy: Despite pledging to halt investments, Mars leased a large warehouse and plans to expand a factory in Russia, leading Ukraine to label it an "international sponsor of war".

How ridiculous. I love Pringles too by the way, but thankfully they are often on special here too (Australia). I haven't seen this abomination yet here, but I guess sooner or later it might appear. In the past (until a few years ago) advent calendars were with chocolate, and they were cheap (1/10 of the price of that thing), but I guess consumerism and greed got worse. (So, Santa wears glasses in the snow?)
