Some call it "chewing gum" - but it has some relevance too, because just like chewing gum, it is sweet at the beginning but would be very sticky at the end, when the increases in prices of essential items are announced after the CHOGM in order to cover up the exorbitance costs.

I get the chills down my spine when I think of the sky high prices we will have to pay for flour, sugar, parippu, gas, fuel, etc.
