London Influencer Spends Nearly 20,000 Baht on Luxury Fruit Basket in Tokyo, Shocked to Find Only 12 Pieces

An influencer spent nearly 20,000 baht on a luxury fruit basket in Tokyo and shocked social media by opening it to find only 12 pieces. Comments flooded in saying "even supermarket shopping is cheaper." Tomatoes at 1,500 baht each, blueberries rated 9.5 out of 10, and pineapple that the reviewer claimed wasn't sour at all were among the items that nearly 19,000 baht could buy from a premium fruit shop in Tokyo. All of this took place at "Ginza Sembikiya," Japan's famous premium confectionery and fruit store known for curating high-quality fruit and exquisite packaging. Carmie Sellitto, a 26-year-old London-based influencer, traveled to the shop and filmed from the selection process through unboxing and reviewing the fruit. The video has now surpassed 1.2 million views on TikTok. In the video, he purchased a premium fruit basket including tomatoes priced at approximately 1,500 baht, with staff carefully arranging and wrapping items as if they were precious commodities rather than ordinary food. When he opened the box, he described feeling like he was "opening a Christmas present" because all 12 fruits were beautifully arranged, each sitting individually in luxurious cushioned compartments like private beds for each piece of fruit. He then proceeded to review each piece one by one, starting with large passion fruit, blueberries he called "the most expensive in the world," and oranges and mangoes that he deemed the most perfect fruits. Kiwi received a perfect 10-out-of-10 rating with no deductions, while melon was praised as "worth every baht." However, pineapple drew the observation that it "wasn't sour at all." Despite overall impressions being positive, online comments were largely skeptical, with many pointing out that this price could buy far cheaper fruit from supermarkets.
