You did a pretty good job of pretending to post in good faith I must admit
If you like to pay more for the exact same amount and quality of goods, then I believe I have a bridge to sell you.
The point is that the Kid’s Hot Chocolate and the Small Hot Chocolate are literally the same item, but the “Small” is a dollar more
