What's that?
It's an extra cost that brands add to products that are pink and marketed towards women.

🤯 Why women pay more for the same products Ever been shopping and noticed how some products are priced higher just because they're marketed to women? That's called the pink tax - when the same exact product is recolored, repackaged, and sold at a higher price to a target market who doesn't even notice they're being overcharged. Brands realize that most women are willing to pay more for the same exact product if it's pink, but now, you know better. Start buying products aimed at men and watch how you save money!
