TV Advertisement : Cap Ayam Brand Rice

Just being extremely curious. Notice the TV Advertisement for this particular "Cap Ayam" brand of Rice? Buy a bag of rice from them and get a tin of sardines free...Sounds like not too bad a deal til one realise the offer is only available to the 50KG pack of rice purchased. 50kg! Just wondering how many of us actually do buy 50KG pack of rice, not to say to buy a 50KG pack of rice to get that free tin of sardines.

Mathematics :

A 5-kg pack of ( SongHe / Royal Umbrella / Flying Man ) Rice costs around SGD$10.00... So pound for pound, a 50gk pack will most likely cost SGD$10.00 x ( 50kg / 5kg ) = $100.00;

A tin of Sardines = lebih kurang SGD$1.20;

So how is it mathematically justifiable to buy a 50kg bag of rice to get a tin of free sardines?
