TikTok goes viral as user highlights eye-popping prices, warning against moving to Canada

A Canadian TikToker is making waves online after sharing a jaw-dropping revelation about the soaring food prices in the country. In a viral video viewed 6.9 million times, user theszabomargans shed light on the seemingly exorbitant cost of chicken drumsticks at Costco, sparking a wave of reactions and debates on social media.

In the clip, the TikToker showcased two packs of chicken drumsticks, one priced at $202 and the other at $224, leaving viewers stunned at the steep figures. Issuing a warning to anyone contemplating a move to Canada, she emphasized the “outrageous” food prices, suggesting it might be a considerable factor to reconsider relocating.

The video prompted various reactions, with social media users speculating about the possibility of a pricing error and expressing disbelief at such high costs for a common grocery item. Many users offered humorous takes on potential misprints or unusual working hours for those responsible for labeling.

Commenters pointed out that the apparent mispricing may not reflect the actual cost, with some mentioning they had recently purchased similar packs for a significantly lower amount. The debate around the video also drew attention to the broader issue of rising food prices and consumer frustrations.

This isn’t the first time Costco has stirred discussions on social media, as the retail giant previously gained attention for selling ’emergency meals.’ While the TikToker’s video may have sparked some humor and disbelief, it sheds light on concerns about the affordability of basic necessities in Canada.
