    Sounds like capitalism working as intended to me.

    A Big Mac is a bigger scam than anything sold in a market by ordinary people.

        I was hoping this would be the Turkish equivalent of two paper thin patties, three buns, some lettuce and thousand island dressing for $7 USD but yeah I can see how haggling the price of soap can be frustrating too.

          nah.

          Açık sabun is basically when some dude at a market sells liquid soap, of which an industrial container has been opened and repackaged in smaller bottles for home use after being watered down and becoming unhygenic.

          hence,

          those Turks and their bazaars trying to scam each other of the last penny,

          is unfortunately all too true.
