I'm not going to answer the question, but I have to point out that any business that focuses on ethics at the expense of return on investment is less likely to succeed than "unethical" businesses (including those that are ethical by some other standard). While there is a small market in which consumers will pay a premium for ethical products and services, it is still a minuscule marketplace. This is why these ethical rules need to be enforced by governments: to even the playing field.
And before someone brings an example of some store that has an ethical business model of some kind, I have to highlight that my statement is a statistical one, not an absolute one, so exceptions abound. But it's only fair to look for an example of such a thing. Let's compare Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to Justin's. The former is cheaper and has almost three times the reviews. Even if we weren't aware of market penetration as a function of how often we see the product, we can easily make an inference that Reese's volume of sales is exponentially bigger than Justin's. Nonetheless, I need to echo here what I said at the beginning of the paragraph: mine is a statistical statement.
STOP LYING. I urge anyone reading this to look at the image on Amazon of the ingredients in a Reese cup: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IXUK8G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6jHJzbVHY48G5
You can see it in the product images. There is no corn syrup and as with nearly all milk chocolate you have sugar, cocoa butter, and chocolate listed in that order. The level of misinformation this poster is spewing is astounding since the truth is right there and easily verifiable.
As a 4 pack of 2-cups, and a bag if minis were both about 300 yen each, and http://www.amazon.com/Reeses-Peanut-Butter-1-5-Ounce-Packages/dp/B000IXUK8G
this is putting a big cup at about 35 yen if I bought from the US, and 37 yen if I bought from the store. I'm guessing it would cost me more than 2 yen a cup in shipping/convenience cost, plus the cost of commiting to a shippable amount, with no chance for buyers remorse....
As a business major, and someone who's shipped and received dozens of packacges from/to abroad...
No, I don't think I would have gotten a better value.
It all stems from Hershey's trying to gain a foothold. A lot of foreign products are jacked up on price, but as Seiyu is basically Walmart, and Hershey's is trying to gain a foothold, they are willing to take a loss, to gain brand recognition. Period.
In a couple years, if they catch on, perhaps It'd be better to have them shipped. But actually, I might be getting them cheaper off the shelf than you would at some places in the US right now.
BTW: They're selling Kisses (various flavors) and the minis grab bags here, as well now..
Hershey's is going all in.
The only acceptable option at this point. They forced your hand, really
30 / (48 x 3) = 0.208333333
23.99 / (36 x 2) = 0.333194444 - close enough.
By the way, a quick search shows that you'll never find that sort of price again -- even at wholesale/online.
You can get 72 cups for $26 on amazon :D Poor Norwegians.
