The Whole Foods website shows the apple (which is one of the most expensive types of apples, mind you) that she claims cost her $7... sells for $3.99 per POUND. Does that apple look like it's almost 2 lbs? https://t.co/Mk9oKoM3IK
Seven dollars for one apple. Let this sink in folks. https://t.co/mNDZJAC3wT
You guys, I live in Fairbanks Alaska where the apples are flown in by ravens, or come by land on the weekly dogsled, and an apple is like $1.50. Idk who these entitled rich kids are and where they are buying $7 apples, but it's a massive self-own on their part. https://t.co/ran8TCkVmR
