Pint-sized inflation critics rage against rising price of ice cream in sweetest cost-of-living rant yet
NY Post
They’re mad as hell.
Two treat-seeking misses were knocked seriously off course after a trip to see their local ice cream man — only to discover that the cost of a cone had recently exploded.
Marnie and Myrah, 8-year-old twins from Burnley, England, inadvertently wound up encapsulating societal exhaustion over the ever-rising price of nearly everything in a sweet social media post that has now gone viral, snagging over 15 million views.
The toothache-making trouble began when the cost-conscious kiddos discovered their beloved Mr. Whippys now cost over $5 each — whipping the two into a frosty frenzy, which a family member caught on video.
“Girls, what’s just happened,” their aunt Karis Lambert asks innocently, at which point the ladies launch into their tirade.
“So, there’s an ice cream van there, selling two ice creams for nine quid ($11.43) — bloody nine pounds for two of them,” Marnie says incredulously, in a hilariously thick northern accent.
