25 g sample- $3.99
357 g cake-$15

Yes, its good to try before you buy but when its a cheap cake your talking about I say take the chance and save some money. So what I'm saying is, 1 cake is a sample for me. :wink:
In a totally serious way, I do see the concept of 1 cake being a sample very realistic... :lol:

I think that the samples are alright, but I have never purchased a full cake after trying a sample. While I agree that they are a big ripoff, A full cake is 357g, at 6g a gong fu session, 7 infusions, that is almost 420 ( :wink: ) infusions, and that is a lot. $15-30 isn't that much, but I would only buy a full cake if everyone was ranting and raving like Songpin, which I hope to get next time I get paid.
