ENLARGED TO DECEIVE!




How many of you have purchased something grocery-wise thinking you were getting a good deal only to get home and find you have been deceived by deceptive packaging?

AND TOILET PAPER!  DON'T GET ME STARTED!  IT HAS SHRUNK FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE!  It is cheap & falls apart a good share of the time leaving little wads of... well you know what and you know WHERE!  :)

Or, you have bought a box of Lubricant Eye Drops... but upon opening it, you disgustedly come to the realization that the container has a cardboard filler-flap inserted in the bottom of it to ENLARGE THE BOX, making it appear to contain a bigger bottle of solution than it actually does?

What about Granola Bars?  Cereals?  Fish Wedges?  Candy Bars?  A famous Cinnamon/Raisin Bread?  Everything, it seems, has shrunk in size, yet the price has gone up!  One time, I opened a box of a well-known brand of Fish Wedges to find that 3 of the 10 supposed to be in the box were the size of Fish Sticks; the remaining other ones were quite small, too.  Not what I was used to seeing when I had purchased them previously.  On the box was listed "Enlarged to Show Quality and Value".  Ha Ha, what a joke...  THAT IS WHY I TITLED THIS BLOG "ENLARGED TO DECEIVE!"

Is there any way we can stop this foolishness?  Being taken advantage of by the companies who produce our food?  Put in your 2 CENTS worth!  Speak your mind!  Where is OUR MONEY'S WORTH?
