Perhaps just corporate greed then. They know they can charge more and people will still buy it, so they do. Actually they could probably charge even more per box and make more money, and even if demand drops a little because of it that won't matter much because they won't have to produce and ship as much, saving more money.
Please don't give them any ideas! Food is hard enough to afford as it is ๐
Price elasticity Look it up.
They're charging more for the plain product just because they can. Next door's competitor can make a better product, at a lower price, and people still won't switch.
