Carmie samples one of the berries, describing it as looking like “the most perfect strawberry”.
He bites into one, and is visibly disappointed.
He said: “I don’t know what I was expecting but I don’t think it was that.
“I can’t lie, that tasted not that juicy at all.
“It kind of just tasted like a normal strawberry.”
Giving it another try, he eats another one but is left upset, calling it “awful”.
Carmie says: “£180 I spent on this and it tastes like £2 strawberries.
“It just tastes mushy.
“I feel robbed!
“If you were ever considering spending £180 on strawberries, just take my advice: they are not worth it.”
The video, shared with What’s The Jam, sparked backlash.
One user commented: “WHY WOULDNT YOU DONATE THAT 180 TO A FOOD BANK?”
“It makes me sick knowing that there are starving ppl in the world but also people that pay £15 a strawberry,” another viewer wrote.
Someone else added: “How are they so expensive?”
“Capitalism is crazy…” said another critic.
Another user commented: “I really enjoy your videos but it does make me sad that some people can barely afford their rent and other people can spunk £180 on a punnet of strawberries.”
Someone else called it “outrageous”.
