‘මන්චී සුපර් ක්රීම් ක්රැකර්’ මිල අඩු වූවාද?
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
The claim concerned a photo showing a 490 g pack of Munchee Super Cream Cracker priced at Rs. 442, presented as evidence that its usual price had dropped from Rs. 590 because consumers had stopped buying the biscuits. The review checked whether that lower price represented a lasting reduction, rather than simply relying on the image: it says it checked prices in shops and online supermarkets and contacted both the biscuit maker, Ceylon Biscuits (CBL), and retailer Keells. The review reported finding no general price reduction and said the pack was still priced at Rs. 590 at the time of its checks. “ග්රූම් 490 මිල රු.590 ක් බවයි.” “ඒ අනුව වැඩි කළ මිලෙහි ඉහත සඳහන් ඡායාරූපයේ දැක්වෙන පරිදි රු.442 ක මිලකට එම බිස්කට් පැකැට්ටුවේ මිල අඩු කිරීමක් දක්නට නොලැබුණි.” CBL’s marketing management told the reviewers that Rs. 590 remained the product’s price, and explained that the Rs. 442 figure reflected a limited promotion at Keells. According to the account, CBL provided Keells with a 20% promotional discount for about three weeks, and Keells added a further discount. Keells’ grocery-category manager also described the lower price as the result of the combined discounts, not a permanent change to the product’s price. “සති 3ක් වැනි කෙටි කාලයක් සඳහා, මන්චි ප්රවර්ධන ව්යාපෘතියක් වෙනුවෙන්, සීමාසහිත සිලෝන් බිස්කට් සමාගම විසින් 20% ක වට්ටමක් ලබා දුන් බවයි.” “590ට ඇති බිස්කට් පැකැට්ටුව රු.442කට ලබා දුන් අවස්ථාවක් බවට ද ඇය කරුණු පැහැදිලි කළා.” The important omitted context was that the displayed price applied during a time-limited promotion at Keells, rather than showing a lasting reduction in the biscuit’s usual price. The review says the promotion had ended and reports that both CBL and Keells confirmed the pack was again available at Rs. 590. “අදාළ සති තුනක ප්රවර්ධන කාලය මේ වන විට අවසන් වී ඇති හෙයින් Keells සුපිරි වෙළඳසැල්වල මෙන්ම අනෙක් වෙළඳසැල්හි ද, ‘මන්චි සුපර් ක්රීම් ක්රැකර්’ ග්රෑම් 490ක පැකැට්ටුවක් දැන් අලෙවි වන්නේ රු.590 මිලට බවද ඒ මහතා පැහැදිලි කර සිටියා.”
