... you could make a crisp sandwich and still have a bit left in the bag ... now it seems that one bag = 1 sandwich ...
Are these Gary Lineker b@stards reducing the amount of crisps we get by stealth ... ?

Same with everything mate.
Not sure how long ago it was, but they started putting Douwe Egberts coffee in 190g jars - funny thing is the jars are exactly the same as the old 200g ones.
& don't get me on to chocolate bars (& crisps, like you say) - do they think we're stupid?

There's a whole science to making jars and bottles look bigger than they actually are. The masters of the art are the people that design perfume bottles.

Aaaah Memory lane.......Aaaah Bisto Brilliant video fiddles... brings back happy memories... but go back to the 50/60's (without the technology) and life was even more uncomplicated, fun, liberating and... I think I should stop there! Who needs gadgets? |
