Pringles

[DonkeyApple]

Was wondering where to post this bit I'm pretty sure it's economics.

Has anyone noticed that Pringles are a fraction of the size they used to be?

Just opened a tube for the GP practice and I've not had any for years but they are tiny. Used to be much more snugg in the tin but now there is loads of space.

I've gone off Pringles for some reason, but yes, they do seem to be fewer per box.

I can do a trick where I flip the Pringles through the front of my mouth.

They haven't changed length, I can promise you!

They got smaller at the same time as they increased the number in the tin.

Now - how about Wagon Wheels?

Curley Wurleys used to be the size if scaffolding planks...

Trouble with pringles for me is the bitter aftertaste.

Trouble with Pringles is that they're absolutely loaded with saturated fats and calories.

Probably one of the least healthy savoury snacks on the market.

Open a bag of walkers from a multi pack and half of it consists of air

The cans are bigger. Would imagine the maker realised their target market couldn't fit their podgy hands in the small tins.

Was worth it!

Oh dear, marketing is at it again. Reduce the size, keep the price the same, you make 1p extra margin per unit and the mug punters will keep buying anyway.

Then a year or two later launch either 'Pringles Classic' or '30% bigger!' and charge 30% extra.

On the subject of pringles, most of my mates can put there hand to take them out, but iv to tilt it because my hand won't fit in.

Am I the only one ?
