General / Off-Topic I'm proper angry now...

[Yaffle]

Forget all that political stuff:

That's important. Stealing triangles from Toblerone.

After this:

first manufactured in York in 1932, [Terry's Chocolate Orange] has been reduced from 175g to 157g in weight – a cut of 10 per cent

and this...

(1998 tin on the left, 2016 plastic on the right)

JUST STOP IT NOW.

 

[Sir.Tj]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.........

Nothing is sacred.....

 

[Talarin]

I blame Trump

 

[Adept]

Is this actually for real?

 

[metatheurgist]

The economists keep telling me everything is getting better and I've never had more personal wealth than ever before. And yet these pictures tell a different story. Surely the package sizes should be increasing while the price stays the same if what they said were true?

 

[Flimley]

Yep, product reduction. Preferred to putting the price up too much.

You know, i remember when wagon wheels were the size of wheels !!

Flimley

 

[Macros Black]

Less is more?

 

[Javert]

Scandalous



In other news, apparently Donald Trump has announced he will release Star Citizen on Thursday morning if elected.

 

[Robert Maynard]

Less is more?

Buying less probably will cost more....

 

[Stigbob]

Asda now sell pie's with more air than filling, will nobody think of the children.

 

[Robert Maynard]

Schrodinger's Pie - not sure if there's filling in it until you cut it open....

 

[Sir.Tj]

And It just keeps on happening.

[Lucius-Darcia]

No excuse for this.
This miniaturization has to stop! [ugh]
Too many products i don't buy anymore for years now. There is nearly nothing left.....nothing is holy.

What's next? Removing the cream from After Eight chocolate?

 

[Robert Maynard]

What's next? Removing the cream from After Eight chocolate?

Don't even say that in jest!

 

[Sir.Tj]

And as for those new £5 notes......

 

[Robert Maynard]

.... and the new £1 coins!

 

[Jenner]

GRRRR!

 

[Yaffle]

'Down with this sort of thing'
'Careful now'

 

[Hell Razor5543]

And don't forget processers. As the track width is shrinking we are getting less materials, but are being expected to pay more for them!

 

[Minonian]

Less is more?

Not in this case. It's just another way to steal money from us.
