A Canadian shopper at Costco turned a pricing blip into a viral sensation. With a misprint that turned heads, they sparked a conversation far beyond the price of chicken.
"Thinking of moving to Canada?" Cass Szabo teases in a TikTok clip. "Think again. Our food prices? Outrageous."
Cue the reveal: chicken drumsticks with jaw-dropping tags—$202.18 and $224.58.
But wait, convert that to U.S. dollars. You're looking at about $150 and $166. Mind-boggling, right?
Szabo spills the beans in a story with FOX Business—it's all a mix-up. A satirical nudge about something deeper.
"I love Canada," she declares. "But let's talk. Housing crisis. Sky-high living costs. People dreaming of a better life in Canada are hitting walls. Homelessness. Joblessness. Immigrants leaving. That's not the Canada I love."
