Let me start this out with a link to a story that has got me on this rant....
Poland Springs (Nestle) Being sued for selling Fake Water... (Click to read story)
I am so annoyed by all the lying and underhanded crap these food companies are pulling on us...First I realize that my 5 pound bag of sugar has been replaced by a 4 pound bag with the price being the same if not more costly and then I hear that one company who sells "Spring Water" , if not more to come, are bottling constituted tap water and selling to the public under the guise of being spring water...What is wrong with these companies?
Ice cream half gallons? Only a quart and a half now. Sure they put the correct size on the carton so we can't say they are lying but for most of us who don't see ALL the news to know that there was some report a few years ago about it, I took the company at its word that its a half gallon. From what some people have said the ice cream put out by the stores themselves still continue to be a half gallon size...At least the stores are being good to us..sorta.
Another person on face book pointed out that tuna is in a 5 ounce can now instead of its normal 7. A pound of coffee is only 14 ounces, Look around...I bet there are more products that have been changed than we can even count.
So what do we do? Other than boycotting the companies is there anything we can do to let them know our feelings? The problem with boycotting is that we'd have to boycott so many different companies that our cupboards would be bare...Do we write to the companies? Do we tell them we are sick and tired of our products prices going up while the sizes go down? It's worth a try. Not sure if they'll care but sometimes just saying what we are feeling is better than nothing. I imagine the companies think its okay that they are robbing us because they know all their sister companies are doing it too. So much for integrity. If Nestle jumped off a bridge Campells, would you? Yup, if they got money to do it.
Frustrated.....What have you noticed? What annoys and frustrates you??
