A colleague of mine had a pack of 'Mega Monster Munch' yesterday and we were all appalled to see just how much smaller these tasty snacks had got. You can even see from the picture of the packet, that they are advertised as 'The Big Eat' when clearly they arent. Is this just another example of how we're getting ripped off or is it some kind of plan to stop kids getting fatter (If that is the case, its failing!)
And another thing that bugs me! When a bag of crisps claims '50% extra free' they actually mean '50% more air free' Grrr...
It struck me that the same thing has happened with Wagon Wheels and Mars bars (except the king size variety) I remember when you could almost use a wagon wheel as a spare tire on a car!
Check out this nostaligic link, to bring back some childhood memories, when sweets were big and crisps were crisps...
