Can someone explain why plain cheerios are always more expensive than honey nut cheerios? (self.veganism)

Ingredient-wise, they have the same, except the honey nut has extra crap in it... why is it always cheaper? We're talking a 30% difference per 100g!

Price elasticity Look it up.

They're charging more for the plain product just because they can. Next door's competitor can make a better product, at a lower price, and people still won't switch.
