Viewers’ reactions to the chopsticks’ price
YouTuber Jackie Aina said that she ended the video at $1,640″. “Are they even gold? !”
Other TikTok users wondered the same thing. Chopsticks described as “gold-colored hardware” are, in fact, not real gold.
People have been led to believe that the price tag is just an extension of the L.V brand image because of the chopsticks’ gold color.

“They are ripping y’all off by probably costing $20 to make,” wrote another user in response to the discrepancy between the chopsticks’ actual cost of production and their retail price.
While the jokes about not being able to afford the luxury chopsticks set were being made, other users made light-hearted jokes.
In the words of one user, “I’m not going to eat my $0.49 noodles with $1,640 chopsticks.”
