A recent observation on social media pointed out that while egg prices have decreased significantly, breakfast shops have not lowered the cost of adding an egg to breakfast meals. This discrepancy has raised questions about whether businesses are passing on the cost savings to consumers after the egg crisis in Taiwan. Renowned author Ruby Lin also commented on the issue, emphasizing that in a free country, consumers have the choice not to purchase items if they find the prices unreasonable. Netizens further discussed the topic on various factors influencing prices, such as increased electricity costs and hourly wages, with some agreeing that prices are determined by supply and demand rather than just production costs.
