Neither carton is cheaper today — both MEVIUS records list at A$229.50 on the live catalogue, so the real difference sits in the middle of the title: one record carries the field “Premium Menthol” and the other does not. That single middle field is what separates SKU SS-355 from SKU SS-339, and it is the subject of this Title Syntax Notes comparison for 14 August 2026.
If you searched “MEVIUS Option Purple 8 vs MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 price difference Australia”, the short answer is a zero-dollar gap and a one-field title gap. Both cartons list at A$229.50, so the 2026 decision comes down to which recorded title matches the carton you want. This guide transcribes both titles field by field, shows where the “8” digit sits in each name, and gives you the three-step SKU check before you order.
Recorded title fields
Both titles are transcribed below exactly as recorded in the WooCommerce product records, brackets, digits and carton unit included. The record date for this comparison is 14 August 2026.
Record A: MEVIUS Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) — SKU SS-355
Record B: MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) — SKU SS-339
The only textual difference between the two recorded titles is the inserted middle field “Premium Menthol” between the brand word and the flavour line. Everything else matches: the brand word “MEVIUS”, the flavour line “Option Purple 8”, the carton unit in parentheses, and the pack count “10 Packs”.
The middle field: where “Premium Menthol” sits
In Record B, the descriptor sits in the middle of the title, not at the front and not inside parentheses. Position matters for transcription: when you copy a title into an order note or a stock check, “Premium Menthol” must stay between “MEVIUS” and “Option Purple 8”. Moving it to the front would produce a title that does not exist on the live catalogue.
For readers comparing MEVIUS cartons on taste alone, the middle field is the flavour signal: “Premium Menthol” points to a menthol-forward line, while “Option Purple 8” is the purple-pack option that shoppers often describe as a soft, smooth blend with a fruit-tinged menthol profile. This guide records the titles and makes no strength, health or origin claims.
Number handling: the “8” in both titles
Both records end the flavour line with the digit “8” — “Option Purple 8” appears in Record A and in Record B. The digit is transcribed as recorded, with no conversion and no added unit. Because the “8” appears in both titles, it does not separate the two SKUs; the separator is the middle field.
When you read a MEVIUS title, treat the number as part of the recorded name. The record itself does not state what the digit stands for, and this guide does not infer one. The reliable anchor is the SKU: if the number and the SKU both match the listing, you are looking at the same recorded title.
Identity check: SKU, carton unit and AUD price
