Usuku lweValentine selusondele, kwaye kukwanjalo nokungxama konyaka ukuthenga okanye ukunika iibhokisi zetshokholethi zamandulo zikaRussell Stover kunye neSampler kaWhitman, ezifumaneka ngaphantsi kweedola ezili-12 eWalgreens, CVS, Walmart, kunye neThagethi.
Kodwa kulo nyaka, abathengi banokuphoxeka xa bevula iibhokisi ezinkulu ezibomvu okanye ezipinki ezimilise okwentliziyo, ngokutsho kommeli wabathengi.Kungenxa yokuba ukupakisha kuyalahlekisa, utsho u-Edgar Dworsky, owayesakuba ngumncedisi wegqwetha eMassachusetts kunye nomhleli we-ConsumerWorld.org.
UDvorsky uthe uphando lwakhe lubonise ukuba iibhokisi ezinkulu kakhulu zinokukhohlisa abathengi ukuba bakholelwe ukuba banetshokholethi eninzi xa bengenayo.
I-Consumer watchdogs ibiza eli qhinga ngokuthi "ukuphumla," kwaye umthetho we-federal awukuvumeli oko.Abalawuli bavavanya ukufumaneka kwemveliso ngobuninzi ngokuthelekisa umthamo wepakethi kwisixa semveliso equlethwe ngokwenene, utshilo.Bandula ke bagqibe ukuba indawo eyongezelelweyo ayisebenzi kakuhle kwaye ayinanjongo isemthethweni, njengokhuseleko lwemveliso.
Oku kwahlukile kwinto ethi “deflation”, umkhuba wokupakisha iimveliso ezidla ngokwenzeka xa ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kunyuka kakhulu kwaye iindleko zeenkampani zinyuka.Ukulawula ezi ndleko, iinkampani zipakishe iimveliso zijongeka zincinci, zikhaphukhaphu, kwaye zihonjiswe ngemibala ehonjisiweyo encinci.
Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, uDworsky uthi, umfundi wamlumkisa ngebhokisi yeetshokholethi kwaye wamthumelela ubungqina bebhokisi eneesampulu zeetshokolethi ezimilise intliziyo kaWhitman.
Ibhokisi ilinganisa i-9.3 intshi ububanzi, i-10 intshi ukuphakama, kwaye inobunzima obuyi-5.1 ounces.“Yisayizi entle kakhulu,” watsho uDvorsky.Kodwa xa ibhokisi yayivulwa, kwakukho iitshokolethi ezili-11 ngaphakathi.
Ngoko ke uDvorsky uthenge iibhokisi ezininzi zeWhitman yalo nyaka (i-$ 7.99 nganye) kwaye wasusa zonke izinto zangaphakathi zokupakisha kunye neentambo.Imivalo yetshokholethi ithatha kuphela isithathu sebhokisi.
UDvorsky akanabo ubungqina bokuba uphawu luyonga kwitshokholethi xa kuthelekiswa neminyaka edlulileyo.Kodwa i-CNN ifumene ibhokisi likaRussell Stover yeetshokolethi ezimilise intliziyo enomhla wokuphelelwa kwe-10 kaJuni, i-2006, igcinwe ngomnye wabasebenzi bethu njengesikhumbuzo, kwaye yayibukhulu obufanayo: i-intshi ezi-9 ububanzi kunye ne-intshi ezili-10 ukuphakama.
U-Dvorsky uphinde wafumana ibha yetshokolethi ye-5.1-ounce efana nentliziyo ka-Russell Stover equlethe iibha ezilithoba.“Iphantse yaphinda kabini ubukhulu bebhokisi ye-4-ounce Russell Stover yesixhenxe,” utshilo.
“Masithi ufumene ibhokisi enkulu.Ukuba uyinika umntu omthandayo ngoSuku lweValentine, baya kucinga ukuba yibhokisi enkulu yeetshokolethi, kodwa eneneni zisithoba kuphela,” utshilo.“kubi kakhulu.”
Zombini iimpawu zibonisa ekupakelweni ubunzima kunye nenani eliqikelelweyo leelekese ngaphakathi.ULindt & Sprüngli, inkampani yetshokholethi yaseSwitzerland engabanini bakaRussell Stover, uWhitman's kunye neGhirardelli brand, bathumele isicelo sokuphawula kuRussell Stover Chocolates.
URussell Stover Chocolates wathi “inokubaxelela ngokucacileyo abathengi bethu ukuba yintoni na ekwipakethe yethu.”
"Oku kubandakanya ukuhanjiswa kobunzima beemveliso kunye nesixa seetshokholethi kuzo zonke iibhokisi zethu zoSuku lweValentine," uPatrick Khattak, usekela mongameli wentengiso, utshilo kwi-imeyile kwi-CNN Business.
Kwixesha elidlulileyo, abalawuli baye batshutshisa abenzi betshokolethi ngezityholo zokupakisha ezikhohlisayo.Ngo-2019, iGqwetha leSithili saseCalifornia lafaka isimangalo ngokuchasene noRussell Stover kunye noGhirardelli, betyhola ukuba basebenzisa amazantsi obuxoki kunye nobunye ubuqhetseba kwezinye iibhokisi kunye neengxowa zetshokholethi ukwenza iipakethi zibonakale zigcwele kunokuba bezinjalo.
Amagqwetha eSithili, kuquka iGqwetha leSithili saseSanta Cruz, alilungisa ityala kwaye iinkampani zahlawula isohlwayo se-750,000 yeedola, zingavumanga bubi kodwa zivuma ukutshintsha ukupakishwa.
IGqwetha eliNcedisayo leSithili saseSanta Cruz u-Edward Brown uthe wayephanda imizekelo yamva nje yokupakishwa kobuqhetseba obunokwenzeka ziinkampani ezimbini.Wathi uDvorsky wambuza malunga neyona ngxelo yakhe idumileyo ngoRussell Stover kunye neebhokisi zetshokolethi zikaWhitman.
“Ngelishwa, oku kusaqhubeka.Kuyadanisa, ”utshilo uBrown kwi-CNN.“Siza kuphanda ukuba ngaba ezi nkampani zikhe zathatha ithuba naziphi na izinto ezichasene nomthetho.Ukusukela kwityala lethu ngo-2019, kuye kongezwa izinto ezininzi ngaphandle ezijongela phantsi imithetho. ”
