They came back and verified WarmSoda's claim, and WarmSoda responded with:

You’re stuck on details that don’t matter. Ramen is not worth buying no matter how cheap it is.
But whatever. I give up. Be annoying.

So that's why there are downvotes. Hardly "dogpiling" at these tiny numbers. It's not about the claim, or the fact that $0.30 a pack is still dirt cheap, as they said, it's the fact that WarmSoda is being obnoxious and name calling because they aren't being praised for their observation.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, nobody verified WarmSoda's claim. They doubled down that the price is still 10 cents by changing the units to oz. and everyone ate it up. WarmSoda backed off because this is a truly stupid argument, but I'm still baffled on how Nate Cox was able to get away with that mental gymnastics. I guess I can get away with selling a car to you guys claiming it only costs a dollar (per oz.)! Come on, its a really good deal, you're not going to get a car for a dollar anywhere else!!!

he comes back with a source that it is, in fact, 3 times more expensive

uh, ok, bud. If you are here to flip flop your arguments on a whim just to pick a fight about what no one was talking about, go ahead. You can join blocksville with obnoxious name-calling guy 👍

Please feel free to point out any inconsistencies. However, there isn't any between those two statements. Here's the definition of verify for you: "to prove that something exists or is true, or to make certain that something is correct."
