The cause of the incident was that on February 8 this year 18 yuan, a woman vomited at the Banu Hotpot Restaurant in Seg Shopping Center and ordered a potato. When the whole dish was served, there were only five potatoes.

As can be seen from the video, the potatoes ordered by the woman are packed in a small bowl with five potatoes piled around. The thickness is neither too thick nor too thin. According to the quantity, these five potatoes add up to half the size of a potato.

The potato chips are soaked in clear water, and there is a label on the side of the small bowl, which reads "Selenium-enriched potatoes, planted in selenium-enriched soil in cooperation with Dr. Liu Jie, rich in selenium, and blanched for 5 minutes".

Liu Jie, the "Dr. Potato" mentioned on the label, once reported in the column "Getting Rich" of CCTV Agricultural and Rural Channel 20 17 that the colored potatoes he cultivated, after being planted in batches, were sold to 6 yuan for a catty in some supermarkets, which was two or three times the price of ordinary potatoes.

The staff of Banu Hotpot Restaurant also responded to the price of 5 potatoes of 5438+08 yuan, saying that this is a selenium-enriched potato. Unlike ordinary potato chips, it contains many trace elements and is priced according to the actual situation.

Although the merchants gave an explanation, most netizens didn't buy it. They think this kind of potato is actually no different from ordinary potatoes. At the same time, they also spit out that most hot pot restaurants have these kinds, with a dozen dollars to buy several dishes and dozens of dollars to buy several pieces of meat.

Presumably, everyone still has an impression of Zhao's sketch, "Gong Yu wine, 18 1 cup, how about this wine?" In fact, it is Erguotou, boiling water. "

This selenium-enriched potato has the same feeling as "Palace Jade Liquid" and "Heroes Gathering", which makes people cry after reading it.

In reality, many merchants sell high-end goods in the name of "selenium-enriched" or other brands, but it is really doubtful whether this kind of goods are really worth the money.

18 yuan's potato chips directly hit the pain point of mass consumption, indicating that similar businesses are not only not open and transparent, but also suspected of fooling consumers.

No matter how deceptive, potatoes are potatoes. If the price exceeds its own value too much, it will inevitably give people the feeling of being cheated. Consumers have the ability to judge and choose. If there is no guarantee that the goods are genuine, then consumers will inevitably vote with their feet, and the business road of the merchants will become narrower and narrower.
