Product sabotage helps consumers
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5274352.stm
I wasn't aware of the cheap coffee in Starbucks. But I often think that 'premium' supermarket products are the same as 'economy' but they just have glossy packaging. I bought a Shepherds Pie from M&S the other week. I was expecting a bit of luxury, you know lots of nice mince & carrots etc. What I got was all potato and runny gravy! Hardly any mince. Checked the ingredients and the Shepherds Pie was only 17% beef, the vast majority (over 50%) being potato. I felt ripped off as the packaging (and brand of M&S) was screaming quality and finest to me, but the reality was a lot different.
