The Jordanian government has finally announced the new bread prices on Tuesday after lifting subsidies off the basic commodity, much to the dismay and fury of the majority of the population.

Large round bread is now priced at 32 piastres per kg, small round bread is priced at 40 piastres per kg and large flatbread is priced at 35 piastres per kg.

The figures might not sound like a large sum to some people, but they make a huge difference to many low-income and even some middle-class families.

This is how Jordanians responded to the new prices on Twitter since the announcement was made during a press conference in Amman on Tuesday.
