It's a regional brand, Humpty Dumpty. Used to be 11 oz (312 grams) but now it's 9 oz (255 grams). The real scummy thing is, they kept the same packaging proclaiming it to be a "share size" for $3. ie the big party size bag. I could tell right away when I picked it up that it was smaller than it used to be, but I bet a lot of people won't. They'll see that big $3 share size sticker and assume it's the same thing they've always paid $3 for. All food companies have been doing this for the past 5-7 years too, and it's really scummy. Capitalism at its finest. If you go far enough down the corporate chain you find out only one or two mega conglomerates are actually producing food, so they can do whatever they want and consumers have no recourse. --- http://imgur.com/SYiqIRC ...

Yep. This is life now I guess. Just getting shittier and shittier ever so slowly. We can't even enter the apocalypse in an exciting manner. --- Stealing your messages ten times as effectively as goatthief steals your goats. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Strange how the chips with "salt" right in the fucking name tend to be the flavor the lowest sodium. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The worst part of this is how they are all acting like they are doing us some sort of favour by doing this. --- Stealing your messages ten times as effectively as goatthief steals your goats. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fuck that. I dont like the flavor, but you never decrease size without lowering price. --- So long, Thanks for all the fish! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Surprised they didn't keep the bag the same size but put more air than chips in it. --- Beware the fanatic! Too often his cure is deadlier by far than the evil he denounces!-Stan Lee RIP Make Arcades Great Again! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Payzmaykr posted... Fuck that. I dont like the flavor, but you never decrease size without lowering price. The thing is, it's been happening to everything pretty consistently lately. These mega corporations don't wanna go from 25% profit to 18% profit, so when the price of materials rises they just fucking shrink the packaging lol. This is just one of the first things that came up after googling "food packaging keeps getting smaller". https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/0/0/AAMyVcAADC_s.jpg --- http://imgur.com/SYiqIRC ...

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Yeah if you go down the "parent corporation" rabbit hole you end up at some $5 billion trust, so I'm sure it's the same thing. --- http://imgur.com/SYiqIRC ... Copied to Clipboard!
