Stomper: 'We should really pick and choose the heaviest given the same price.'
What do you do when you paid the same price each for two Don Don Donki baked sweet potatoes, but one weighed as much as 104g less than the other?found herself in after buying the sweet potatoes from the basement of Square 2 in Novena on Sept 19."I didn’t realise the weight differs by so much," said the Stomper, sharing photos of each sweet potato on a weighing scale.
She also shared a photo of a Don Don Donki sign that said:"Our previous batch of sweet potatoes was normal size. The current batch of sweet potatoes are bigger, but when cut into half, they are similar to normal size and still taste as sweet as honey! Thank you for your understanding.""I did ask them what the normal size was," said the Stomper."They didn’t reply. The only reply I got was if I got a heavier one, that was a bonus.
The heaviest weighed 247g and the lightest 226. The one in between weighed 243g. So the biggest difference in weight was only 21g.In comparing the weight of all five sweet potatoes, it would appear the one weighing 152g bought by the Stomper was an outlier as it was the only one under 200g.
