So tonight I was hungry and opened up the freezer to find an unopened box of Super Pretzels! I havent had one in a VERY long time, so I open the box and BAM! These little dinky things fall out... The last time I had a Super Pretzel they all barely fit in the box, now there is quite a bit of room for part of a finger ;) to fit in there! Its a shame. I mean how much does do they save by doing that?! Its dough and some special ingredient, baking, and flash freezing. Darn them! What are your inputs?! Oh yeah, notice how at baseball games or fairs how they are normal size like they used to be? Well compare those to the box in your Wally World sometime! Any other complaints about food should be ranted about in here!

Not surprising at all. Ever noticed how more and more of everything just disappears and the price goes up. 16 oz. canned food or drink lost a 1/4 oz. so many times it's down below 15 oz. and even 14 oz. now and dropping still.

Also notice the price higher every year.
Unless one can go to Sam's Club and buy Ketchup in 5 gal buckets, it's a consumer losing battle and will not get better.
I live in Pensacola which is 3 hours away from one of the biggest crawfish catching places around, New Orleans. But my local fresh fish market uses frozen crawfish meat that comes from.....you got it, China.
$$$$$ my friend is what it is all about.:(
At least most of our seafood is taken right out of the Gulf.:wave:

Same over here, they use all sorts of ploys to wring more and more cash out of the consumer. One example is; milk...used to be in 4 pint carton. now its 2 litre carton...same price. ;)

We still use gallons for milk or gas but sodas and many other things went to liter system. Won't be long before that changes also when extra bucks are needed.
:(
Wages increase at 3,5 and maybe 10% but necessity items blast out at 25, 50, 100 or more percentages. A consumer can not catch up. It's a sellers market.:leonardo:

Count yourselves lucky
If you were a piece of beef in a McDonalds hamburger, how would you feel???
Beef does all the work.
Ham gets all the credit.
That's what I call being ripped off.

Indeed Dude, the mid-80's was when, sadly, young girls started finding me resistable.
