I bought a multipack of 24 bags of Quavers. They were on offer.

I just made myself some lunch, 1 bread roll, and had a packet of the Quavers. I felt either the bag had a hole in the bottom and some had fallen out or a mouse has had ago. But no as I just read that the bag is only 16g!

Feel robbed!

I thought normally a multipack bag is around the 25g

 

Sneaky buggers arnt they

 

Quavers are basically the worst crisps you can buy as half of the actual crisp is air anyway! I find Mcoys crinkle cut crisps are the most satasifying. Hell, everything is smaller these days, it's just something people have to realise now.

 

1 bag of Quavers is never enough... always plan at least 2 into a meal

 

So that gives you 32 grams, which was about the weight a packet of them used to be

 

Not many calories then

 

I had two packets

Feel like sending them an email to rant.

Gotta be space raider sandwiches pickled onion ones

 

Beef space raiders for me. Was talking to a fella a while back who works for Kimberly Clark where they make andrex toilet rolls. I said about the tube in the middle getting bigger, and he said all the companies do it, depending on the state of the economy. Anything for a bit more profit.

 

Get your self to Morrisons they sell Golden Wonder Ringos £1 for 6 14g bags bargain

 

I had a bag of beef space raiders saturday night for the 1st time in years. Is it me of is there less beef flavor? Was more like ready salted. Quater backs ill opt for next time.

 

Thieving buggers, I only buy them from the local almost out of date shop now £1 for 18 bags of Walkers, never last long enough around my house to worry about the date.

 

I get Tayto cheese and onion from work for free
and they are 37.5g bags.

Probably the best cheese and onion out there.

 

Thats so they can say less calories in a bag, or a bar etc?

 

The biggest joke has to be the Slimcia bread. Half the calories of a normal slice of bread. Nothing to do with it being half the size then?

 

I just eat kettle crisps or pringles. Can't be done with small portions.
And snack bars have shrunken so much they are a complete joke, hence I don't even bother with them so all the more healthy for me!

I wonder if crisp packets/bars of chocolate have shrunk in the USA! I bet not.

Just lately I have been slightly addicted to the Fish and Chips snacks, especially the curry flavour, mmmmmmmm

 

Do they still do the chicken flavor? Whatever happened to the ritz with the cheese in the middle aswell?

 

I've never seen the chicken flavour. The ones Ive tried are the curry, pickled onion and salt and vinegar. As for the Ritz, Ive not seen those for a quite a while either.

 

I try and compare weights when I go shopping. Any crisps under 25g I'll pass on. Although it's getting harder these days with less choice as the manufacturers are all going for smaller portions to maintain their profit margins.







I also wonder about this. My life must be really exciting.

 

Farmfoods Ridges for me. Like their own brand McCoys, but more flavour and 30 packets for £3.50.

Or Lidl own brand Pringles, 94p a tube.
