My niece had the following to say about this; I don't know if I agree but I wanted to share the insight:
* The group/indicator really is "people paying for absolutely cheap, easily available cooked food" instead of "relatively" - the demographic in question has experienced wages not increasing with inflation.
* A Tiktok comment she saw and pointed out to me said this: "I'm not paying $12 for a sandwich that used to be $5."
Perhaps their "5 dollar footlong ad" was simply too effective.

There is a psychological training aspect, but it is unclear to what degree it correlates with the underlying financial reality. Are they both offended and unable to buy or just offended? In a non-anonymous social medium it is safer to communicate outrage than desperate poverty.
