an observation that doesn't mean much
This is not a show stopper revelation but you know when you open a bag of chips or a box of cereal and you quickly realize you paid for half a bag/box ?
I like sweet ice tea and generally buy whatever is on sale . But Arizona brand ice tea in gallon jugs are filled right to the very top , so full I think if you poked a pin in the tea would overflow ! Somehow I feel better knowing I got a full gallon  OK back to your regular programming...........

Or when you buy something and it's a package, inside of a package, inside of a package....

Get the cheapo cereal that looks like the brand you use...It always comes in just a bag...Refill the Brand box from the generic bag.
Can't help you on chips...Even Pringles has space in the top of the can.

If you think that's a problem try measuring a 2x4 piece of lumber and see what you get...

An observation is an observation. No need to be apologetic.

Or are they sold by db?: Sun Chips: The Loudest Chip Bag Ever I was ticked when I noticed my bottle of beer was 11.2oz instead of the usual 12oz. Times six it's 67.2oz versus 72oz total. Times twelve it's 134.4oz versus 144oz total. =Almost a full beer missing from a regular case. |

Speaking of ripping people off...
Credit Card companies charge store merchants 2-4% on all transactions. Then those merchants have to pass the additional electronic-transaction-costs onto the consumer. Billions+ per day are siphoned off the national GDP. |

I do alot of shipping of automotive parts for my job. I generally try to size the packaging to the parts, so they aren't wallowing loosely around in the box. I also wrap things in bubble wrap, and fill the remainder with foam peanuts. I can't believe how many items show up at work, or at home, that are tossed loosely into a box 3 times too large. I recently bought a strut tower brace for my 2004 Mustang GT convertible (needed), and it was in a huge box, with all the hardware, and screws rattling around inside the box, with no instructions......rant over.
