because over the past few years it looks like they've discreetly taken less and less out the bag over the months, when I bought a pack of kiddie's supermix today it was only half full the ****ers! first walkers, now ****ing haribo. I aint buying 2 to make up for 1 bag you pricks, you're loss now i've stopped buying them. my teeth are about to fall out anyway although I did like the sugary taste.

I remember when a pack of Space Raiders still cost 10p, and they were full!

lmao hilarious acidfluxx!
it happens in the US. Cereal is 1 of the items that you see it mostly in, but also some ppl don't notice that some paper towel and toilet paper companies have gradually decreased the amount of sheets per roll without changing the price much.
funny thing is that most of the time companies do this to avoid increasing prices on a product, which happens with inflation anyways.

Here various brands have doubled and tripled the sizes, in the 90's a regular sized bag was 100g, then it went to 200g, now its somewhere between 200-400g. Chocolate went from 170g to 200g.

The whole point is that they make more profit, reducing the cost isn't going to accomplish that lol.

This filthy trick comes often with new 'modern' package or 'improved formula ' in order to justify the higher price... they should leave it the way it is and fire their marketing department if they want to maximize the revenue.

The answer is either fill the pack's up or make smaller pack's which would cost less and be cheaper to buy :)
