Argentina Kiosk's Sweet 12th Anniversary: Candy at 2013 Prices!

Almagro Kiosk Celebrates 12 Years with a Blast from the Past: Candy at Vintage Prices In the heart of Almagro, Buenos Aires, a small kiosk is making headlines for its unique 12th-anniversary promotion. Facing the persistent challenges of Argentina's inflation, the owner, Claudio, decided to offer a nostalgic trip back in time, selling a selection of popular candies at prices from 2013. The promotion is a hit, drawing in crowds eager to relive the past and enjoy affordable treats. "We're selling these candies at the prices they were 12 years ago," Claudio explains, "It's a small way to thank our loyal customers and celebrate this milestone." The prices are indeed eye-catching: a superpancho (hot dog) for $20 ARS, turrón (nougat) for $2 ARS, and gummies for $4 ARS—a stark contrast to today's market rates. The initiative has not only attracted customers but also garnered support from major candy companies. Representatives from these companies visited the kiosk, recognizing the value of this community-focused promotion. While the promotion is a temporary gesture, it reflects the resilience of small businesses and the enduring power of community bonds in challenging economic times.
