"Fans queued even before the restaurants opened." The craze for fairy bag charms released by a pizzeria
On "Kufar," cheap jewelry is already being resold - prices reach 500 rubles.
The story began with Dodo Pizza and the animated Winx Club franchise deciding to collaborate because the popular girls' cartoon will be rebooted this year.
In various countries where the pizza chain operates, a themed menu was promised. It included "Enchantix" pizza with colorful cheese balls and lingonberry sauce, and a raspberry and dragon fruit flavored milkshake in a bright glass with fairy wings. But the main feature was bag charms (keychains) in the colors of one of the cartoon's heroines.
Winxmania reached Belarus on July 6. For the pizza, one had to pay about 32 rubles and almost another 15 rubles for the drink.
Now Belarusian women are sharing their disappointment on social networks. They say they waited several weeks for the promotion, but couldn't buy the themed set.
Yes, a resident of Brest complains that she came to the pizzeria an hour and a half after it opened, but all the sets were already sold out. By the way, company representatives in Belarus reacted to the complaint: "The collaboration was limited - this implies a very limited quantity of goods. Fans were queuing yesterday even before the restaurants opened, so everything was bought out in the first hours of the points' operation."
The cleverest Winx fans pre-ordered - but the life hack didn't work for everyone. People write that some orders were canceled - the money, of course, will be returned, but the fans want fairy charms, not rubles on their card.
"Dodo Pizza" admits that such situations indeed occurred, but not due to malicious intent, but due to confusion in some restaurants.
Some are even ready to travel to another city where that set is still available.
By the way, the title of the best boyfriend was not very difficult to obtain: one Belarusian woman even cried with happiness when, after work, she found a Winx set at home that her beloved had bought.
Outraged fans who were left without gifts are demanding an additional run - but for now, they do not plan to release it.
Those who were lucky enough to get the set are divided into three categories. The first ones boast about it: "Financial literacy: these were my last funds, more than a week until payday."
The second category is outraged that everything in Belarus cost even more than in Russia (where the set was sold for approximately 35 Belarusian rubles). And not everyone liked the taste of the pizza and the drink.
Well, the third category tries to resell the fairy charms. On "Kufar," prices start from 50 rubles (which is more expensive than the entire set cost) and reach up to 500 rubles.
