London coffee house Blend has been ridiculed for selling pots of just six blueberries for £1.50 – making the price per kilogram £75.

The posh London cafe,in the 62-storey skyscraper 22 Bishopsgate,offers blueberries as toppings for porridge.

By contrast,a nearby Tesco Express sells the fruit for £2.20 for 150 grams,or £14.67 per kilogram.

On Reddit,social media users were outraged at the cost of the fruit. One user said: ‘Anyone who buys a pot of five blueberries deserves to be ripped off.’

Another wrote: ‘That is absolutely disgusting. A massive waste of plastic and a massive rip off.’
