Besides the two I ate, two are missing in the middle.
Damn that’s egregious. Why not at least space them out evenly?! I guess by feeling the ends only, you assume they’re tightly packed in there?
They probably have a commercial photo with the tray partly pulled out showing just the first two and had to have packaging that reflected that.
That’s still like pure deception. Imagine if your car only had its two left doors because the other ones aren’t technically pictured…
please delete this before bmw sees
Maybe that plastic package costs less to make with only two spacers rather than between each set
It’s just vacuum-pressed plastic over a mould. I can’t imagine the mould’s price fluctuating depending on the shape. This seems like it’s specially designed to fool.
I’d say designed to fool.
Mold price can change with more detail since you have to cut away more material from the form this is vacuumed over, with smaller cutters or EDM work. But at this scale it would not be significant enough cost compared to production and ingredient costs. We would be talking an increase in mold price that would be negligable in the overall costing of the project.
Hence the two I ate before taking the picture, indeed did not notice until I pulled it out!
If it’s packaged by a machine it might be easier this way
Hah this post reminded me - I noticed this on stupid AfterEight mints as well, they didnt update the size of packaging (box maybe slightly but the little papers are the same), so you can clearly see how much they reduced those mints (circa 1/4 iirc).
Oh yeah they’re just loosely floating in there now!
The kids Cliff bars have gotten smaller once again since I bought them last.
The regular size Cliff bars are smaller, too. It annoys me that they put all the effort into shrinkflation, but fail to revise the nutrition label.
