Nongshim Kimchi Ramyun Pack of 5 - A "Huh?" Moment at the Supermarket

Please excuse the ugly photos.
I just had a bit of a "huh???!!" moment at the supermarket, when I was buying my favorite instant noodle soup, the Nongshim kimchi ramyun.
Nongshim Ramyun pack of 5
Buy 5 packs HK$20.9...

And...
Nongshim Ramyun pack of 5
...or buy 5 in a pack for HK$24.50 (!!)

...from the same supermarket!
The value pack is more expensive than the loose packs?

I wonder if anybody still bought the value packs...

    That is...the opposite of everything I've ever been taught about retail.

    Sometimes pricing can be so weird! :O
    But I do agree with dr.B about the country of production!!!! It makes the difference.

    Well maybe that's an old stock they are trying to promo because it's nearing its expiration date. Now you mentioned about it I'll definitely make one for our Korean Night before I get my Food Safety Training.
