Erewhon will price gouge because the clientele they have willingly pay for it. Though, mac and cheese is so cheap to make, that I couldn’t imagine spending that much for it unless it had something like lobster in it. Dylan will pay idiot level prices for something like this though because that particular grocery store is where you can spot celebrities. If he had seen a celebrity there, for sure he would’ve asked to take a picture for clout.
From most of the food reviews of Erewhon that I’ve seen, the premade stuff is said to be okay, but the price is unjustified.
I’ll admit, at least with the smoothies, that brand really knows what aesthetics appeal to influencers/celebrities, and it’s probably a big reason why people keep buying them. Aside from branding, the smoothies are priced so high because they add stuff like colostrum, collagen, sea moss, etc. They don’t only carry the standard add ins to smoothies like other places do, such as protein powder or vitamin C, and it’s primarily those add ins that make the smoothies extra expensive. People will swear by the health benefits, but you could just get things like collagen from meat. Overall, the smoothies themselves, outside of celebrity appeal, would draw the attention of someone not well versed enough in nutrition, as most of the add ins can be found in regular foods.
