- In the commentsComments are pure delight — 'so cute', 'great for photos' — with zero pushback.
- ⚠ ReviewWellcomeWellcome has no organic viral hit today; erosion signals stack up as a new shopper openly compares Wellcome, ParknShop and HKTVmall on value.
- In the commentsOne threads user bluntly says both supermarkets are 'especially expensive' — go to a pharmacy or wait for a sale instead.
- ⚠ ReviewWellcomeA months-old promise to add self-collect pickup at an upper Wyndham-area store remains undelivered, despite the lightbox signage already being up.
- In the commentsCustomer directly calls out the stalled rollout and asks why the online store info was never updated after months of waiting.
- ParknShopParknShop's $38 'heart-protecting' blended cooking oil promo went viral for the wrong reason — a wave of comments dissect the ingredients and call the health positioning misleading, some branding it 'garbage oil'.
- In the commentsA detailed top comment breaks down the omega-3/6/9 blend and calls the marketing 'a deceptive gimmick'.
- ParknShopA news report of cockroaches, mould and rodents across multiple ParknShop branches is a food-safety and reputational risk to monitor alongside the oil backlash.
- ParknShopParknShop's $8/pack fresh beancurd roll promo pulls mixed reviews — shoppers stock up, but others gripe about shrinking portions and a quality dip versus prior years.
- In the commentsA repeat buyer says this year's batch is noticeably worse but hard to pinpoint exactly why — likely corners cut to meet demand.
Earned vs owned reach
Of the 1.5k total reach today, 27% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 73% is independent voices. Independent voices carry a healthy share of the reach today.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wellcome | 162 | 233 | 59% |
| ParknShop | 921 | 175 | 16% |
Earned = organic / independent voices — this drives Share of Voice, sentiment and everything above. Owned = the brands' own official accounts, i.e. what they broadcast. A high owned share means the day's buzz is largely brand-driven, not organic.

Act on this
A customer flags that promised self-collect pickup at a store (signage already installed) still hasn't been reflected on the Wellcome online store months after being announced, risking trust in future digital commitments.
▸ Comment under a dairy promo post directly questions why the update never came despite months passing.
早幾個月你地話加多一D上環近電車路分店可以網購自取，早前都見有分店已掛上燈箱多月。但為何一直未有更新網店自取資料 ? 搞左咁多個月
“A few months ago you said a branch near Sheung Wan/tram route would offer online self-collect pickup, and the lightbox sign has been up for months — but the website still hasn't been updated. Why has this dragged on so long?”

Shoppers are openly framing Wellcome (and ParknShop) as expensive relative to pharmacies, sales, and online options like HKTVmall — a value-not-loyalty conversation that risks basket migration.
▸ Threads comment says both supermarkets are 'especially expensive' and recommends waiting for sales or shopping elsewhere.

What's Working
Two clear bright spots today, both from ParknShop — an out-of-store mascot activation and a sold-out app bundle — while a nostalgic import find shows the power of word-of-mouth discovery.

ParknShopNostalgic Japanese soy sauce rediscovery drives organic buzz
A shopper's delighted discovery of a hard-to-find nostalgic soy sauce (previously daigou-only) in ParknShop generated enthusiastic replies and copycat purchases.
睇落似係萬字呢款😂 當年佢係袋裝 黃黃橙橙咁嘅色 食過一次覺得好好食 有炸蒜有芝麻 入口甜甜地 真係日日豉油撈飯完全無問題😋 點知有一日香港再搵唔到 要代購先得 結果上個月俾我係百佳見到！ 我一口氣掃咗三樽😂😂😂
“Looks like the 'Manji' brand — used to come in a bag, yellow-orange color, with fried garlic and sesame, sweet taste, great with soy sauce over rice. Disappeared from HK, had to get it via daigou — then last month I found it at ParknShop! I bought three bottles on the spot.”

ParknShopHeart-healthy oil claims draw a wave of skepticism
A viral bargain post ($38 for a 'heart-protecting' blended oil) turned into a pile-on of highly-liked comments disputing the health claims as misleading marketing, citing unstable omega-3 content and industrial refining — a labeling/compliance exposure for the rival.
▸ Top comment (15 likes) forensically breaks down the ingredient blend and calls the health framing deceptive.
呢隻油嘅成份，AI查詢結果： A）米糠油 (Rice Bran Oil) B）芥花籽油 (Canola Oil) C）橄欖油 (Olive Oil) D）亞麻籽油 (Flaxseed Oil) — 主要的植物性 Omega-3 來源 C）高油酸葵花籽油 (High Oleic Sunflower Seed Oil) — 提供穩定的單元不飽和脂肪酸 我的意見：將一堆精煉過的油以一定比例混合令Omega 3、6、9的比例達致平衡，是 #荒天下之大謬的欺騙性營銷技倆 。 我想講Omega 3係唔可以就咁係煮食油中吸收，因為Omega 3一遇熱就開始變壞。flaxseed oil係完全不適合煮食的，一般是作為supplement咁攝取，並且需要冷藏。 呢D以健康為營銷策略但實際作用非常成疑的食品，罪無可恕。
“AI ingredient check shows this is a mix of rice bran, canola, olive, flaxseed and high-oleic sunflower oils. My take: blending refined oils to claim a 'balanced omega 3/6/9' is a deceptive marketing gimmick — flaxseed oil degrades when heated and isn't meant for cooking at all.”

ParknShop$8 fresh beancurd roll promo: quality and portion complaints
While the $8/pack promo drove strong positive buzz, several commenters note smaller portion sizes, excess oil, and a quality dip versus previous years, plus disappointment that the dumpling variant is missing from stock.
▸ Repeat buyer says this year's batch is noticeably worse, likely due to sourcing pressure from high demand.
鮮竹卷今年差咗~往年好食好多。。。但差喺邊我又好難形容😓😓😓(可能係多人買，為求貨源致質素求其咗⁉️🤔)
