I feel so helpless against the giants like abbott! wife insist kids muz drink Gain from abbott... they have been increasing prices steadily over the years... this one nvm.... recently, they change their number 2 and number 3 from "immunify" range to "intellipro" range. "immunify" is being phased out... for those whose kids are on this milk, you will notice the bear image also change from 2D to a bit more 3D... and with this change, every tin increase by more than 15%!!! really feel kana blackmail man.. they know parents seldom or never change milk brands because of price. and spot on, wife refuse to consider other brands... oh ya... stephanie sun recently joined as their ambassador! maybe need to claw back endorsement fees. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YA RIGHT! I think not only milk powder increase, many things also increase if you monitor closely. Few examples: Royal umbrella rice, Tai Hua soy sauce, knife brand cooking oil, etc. And i am going to stock up during this 7th month festival cos most of the item on sales... What can we do?

Simonsoh 2nd Gear August 13, 2013 Author Share August 13, 2013 They just change the tin design nia so no change in taste lor. haha... then how to explain the keyword "immunify" change to "intellipro"? this indicates a change in formula and ingredients right? this change cost $8 u know... might as well change to genius-pro or einstein-pro and increase $20?

LL lor... the difference is for the items u mentioned, we adults can switch brand if we do not want to be held hostage... but for kids milk powder, we will feel guilty if we "downgrade" brand or switch brand and cause constipation, heatines etc.... they playing on the parents' fiercely protective and non-compromising nature...
