Solidarity from Japan. The price of some simple chocolate bars has basically tripled in recent years. Japan was always averse to price increases and they would literally make the news. Corona + Russia (which impacted fuel costs) opened the floodgates and prices that remained stable for ages went nuts. Still at least once a month there's a new list of stuff increasing in price, now with extra weak yen goodness(tm).
