Feckers,
http://news.sky.com/story/mars-blame...ction-10662160 Mars has blamed rising costs for its decision to shrink the size of Maltesers packets. [The firm has reduced the weight of the product's 121g pouches to 103g, a cut of almost 15%. The decrease was spotted by food retail expert Steve Dresser, who also noticed that packets of Mars' Galaxy Counters have been dropped from 126g to 112g in weight.] thank you Steve Dresser Last edited by arista; 19-11-2016 at 01:53 PM. |

I would hate for these very rich Mars executives to lose any of their huge pay packets and think it is right that the customer should pay for any rises in price and not the shareholders who are swimming in filthy lucre.

..hasn't this 'shrinkage' been the thing with lots of products for a while now, not putting prices up but just not getting so much so effectively putting prices up....anyway, I'm sure that I'm not as tall as I used to be so everything shrinks in time.../sign of the times etc...

I shop at Aldi/Lidl anyway. Top, well known brands will rarely make it to my cupboards.

Making A Stand At Being Ripped Off
I was moaning about these very things In the supermarket the other day When I picked up a packet of Onion Rings, Then at the till refused to pay "That will be 59p" the checkout girl said, With no sense of shame or care. "What!" Sez I, my face turning red "You haven't got a prayer" "It's robbery" Sez I indignantly "Another of your scams". "What cheek" Sez she,"We're the cheapest store in town" "Oh yeah" Sez I, "59 p For one fifty grams?" "That's nearly £2 quid a pound!" I opened the bag, then held an onion ring aloft "See" Sez I, "How there's nothing in the middle?" "What's that prove numb nuts" She scoffed And I sez "Just that it's a fiddle" "Get to the point" sez she, popping her chewing gum "59p would be fair" I sez "If the onion was a whole" But I ain't paying 29 and a half pence old chum For seventy five grams worth of holes". Then when the cops arrived, I knew things were turning bleak And to cut a long story short - My case comes up next week

This practice has been going on since sweets were invented by the way?
