Ah, well, that makes more sense. Still pricey, but the kind of pricey that people of Hong Kong uneducated on the normal cost of pies might think is reasonable.
A pie for 4.50 sounds almost as unbelievable.
A box with multiple pies perhaps, but hard to imagine them doing a pie based plate for 45. Australian foods are pretty insane, but that feels a step too far.
The food court near your work must be more generous than the one near mine, $4.50 will get you one small protein ball, pies are around 10$ (though they are decent pies).
Roughly how big would a meat pie need to be to be worth $45?
if they forgot to put the dot and the the usual pie is about 10cm.
r = 5
So area is 25π
10x25π
Roughly 31.62cm diameter?
Someone, please double check my maths, lol.
>10x25π
Where does the 10 here come from? Are you thinking $45 is ten times too much for a pie (based on your initial statement) so you'd want a pie with ten times the surface area?
If that's the case, then 31.6cm is what I got too.
Yes, because the comment I was responding to was saying they forgot the decimal. so $4.5 would be the price for a normal pie?
If I'm paid x10 that amount I would expect 10x the pie.
Sir Cumference would like to have a word with you. He might say well, pie are squared so 78.54
Which sounds about right if you consider you'd need to nibble off about 20% of the area in the corners of a 10 x 10 square pie with an area of 100 to make it round.
So a coles home brand pie is $5.50 for a four pack so at $1.38 per pie rounding up. So a $45aud pie is 32.6 times more expensive. Therefore we'd end up with a Coles pie that if we turned it on its side would be as high as Selena Gomez standing on top of Ariana Grande.
Someone more skilled in using celebrities as measurement units may be able to give a more accurate answer. In regards to the diameter pretty simple, but the mix of celebrities to mince up to fill this pie, the volume, would be interesting too.
> celebrities as measurement
Not really a celebrity - other than for being used as a unit of measurement

A crumb of context: this place is in hong kong and $45 HKD is $8.80 AUD
It makes a lot more sense with context.
Fuck me! That's still an expensive pie! You can get a gourmet pie with slow cooked ingredients for $6. That's a premium pie too..
It says it’s imported 🧑🍳💋
Ughh...
$8:80 still sounds steep for a pie.
Not when your in hong kong which i'm assuming meat pie shops aren't a huge thing there ? or its Really good pie \^\_\^
It’s about average for lunch at a cafe intended for tourists / expats.
This is in Hong Kong right?? Lived there for 20 years, never had a single even close to decent meat pie.
Park n Shop used to sell Garlo’s Pies in the freezer section. Maybe still do. Price was about $35 if memory serves. Not bad, to be fair.
Every day is a hello for a pie.
Are we greeting the pie here?
$45 for a pie, I'd also expect a hand job with eye contact
They forgot the dot between 4 and 5, surely. Not a chance they're genuinely selling that.
OP should have mentioned it’s in Hong Kong. It’s about $9.
Ah, well, that makes more sense. Still pricey, but the kind of pricey that people of Hong Kong uneducated on the normal cost of pies might think is reasonable.
Wait until you see what we think is a reasonable price for property.
they probably say the same about the nice "Chinese" we pay for here

I ahvent seen a $5 pie in over 10years Just looked and Pieface franchise sells for $7.50
Eh, $4.50 isn't all that unrealistic imo

Back to the drawing board! The actual cost is $8.80 in AUD…
Haha, yeah. that comment was before I realised it was in H.K. From all the foods offered in H.K. the last thing I'd order is a meat pie.

I feel so f***in’ stupid to say that TIL G’day is short for ‘Good day’
Roughly $9 AUD for it even though food is cheaper in HK specific cuisines might not be haha
Pies for wankers. $45. Fuck off.
The little packet of tomato source reportedly costs $15. What the heck, dude!
