18 yuan for a glass of water? The coffee shop responded: it's for fun, not for sale.

The wallets of the beating workers are not getting thicker, but they spend more money. The appearance of the ice cream assassin, from a remote corner of the refrigerator, casually picked up a bag of ice cream and looked at the amount of payment. It's a big mistake when you think that only ice cream can have assassins. A coffee shop unexpectedly appeared a cup of 18 yuan of water, did not expect that the clearly marked coffee shop will also have an "assassin".

A picture of plain boiled water priced at 18 yuan in a coffee shop in Shenzhen shows a statement next to a disposable cup with a plain boiled water label, with an order number and a serial number on it. The fact that a glass of water costs 18 yuan has sparked a heated discussion among netizens.

The coffee shop found the Little Red Book account of the coffee shop in the picture on the Little Red Book platform, and found the same picture in the account's note sharing. Some netizens asked, "will anyone really order it?" the coffee shop's Little Red Book account replied "yes".

Some netizens commented that "there are assassins in plain boiled water" and "Why can't you buy it at a convenience store", while others compared the price of this glass of boiled water with the juice in the bar, saying that going to a coffee shop to drink plain boiled water is to help the boss pay the rent.

The staff of the coffee shop in the picture were contacted by the media, and the staff responded that the picture was for their own play, there was no sales, and it was a joke.

The staff member who replied also said that at that time, the picture was posted on WeChat moments, and many people took it and forwarded it, and some netizens also forwarded it on Little Red Book, and some even posted it on the Tik Tok platform, without indicating the source, and said they bought it themselves, so many people thought they were selling 18 yuan of plain boiled water.

Nowadays, young people's wallets are fragile, and the price of 18 yuan for a glass of water can get a heated discussion among netizens, thanks to the fact that in recent years, the "sky-high price ice cream" often makes consumers look surprised when they check out. So it was given the name of "ice cream assassin" by netizens.

People are sensitive to the fact that some ordinary goods are marked with high prices. On weekdays, it is rare to see bottled water that sells for more than 10 yuan in the supermarket, but this is just a glass of boiled water, with a price tag of 18 yuan. Of course, such high-priced plain boiled water has triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

High prices occur from time to time. The coffee workshop reported on June 11 that in order to curb the phenomenon of "sky-high" moon cakes, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, and the General Administration of Market Supervision jointly issued a circular to stop the phenomenon of "sky-high" moon cakes and to exercise key supervision over boxed moon cakes with a unit price of more than 500 yuan.

Without danger, the plain boiled water assassin was just a joke. But what do you think when you look at the 18 yuan cup of plain boiled water?
