See, this is also an important issue. People shouldn't put up with companies supplying as little amount of a product as possible on the basis that "the weight value is correct." Walkers could put only 5 crisps in a bag and there'd still be someone who says "well, the weight is correct, so better not say anything!" Walkers shouldn't be allowed to get away with supplying such a low volume for the money in the first place! I feel people have become a bit apathetic towards the way companies treat them!0 -

You seem to be unable to understand the concept of goods sold by weight.

Well I think he's great!
Just imagine him sitting there now, wiping the crumbs off his keyboard so that he can use his sausage-like fingers to type a rant about small quantities of crisps in between reaching into a family-sized multipack of Walkers!
I love ya Shadowcrispz even if no one else does!

Idiot
The idea that people should put up with a low amount of crisps in a bag because the weight is correct is preposterous. I said this in a different post but the average person is not going to know the weight value of a crisp. Therefore, they are hardly likely to see the weight value and think "Oh, there's only 21 crisps in here!" and therefore be able to judge whether they think the volume of product for the price is acceptable or suitable. I feel people are being conned and duped by being supplied with only a half-full (and occasionally less-than-half-full) bag of crisps. I will continue to voice my concern at such practices. Get over it.0 -

Hah! No attempt to address my responses, simply resorting to childish nonsense. Repeat Trolling 101, my good man.0 -

Oh dear - even more of an idiot than I thought.
If it its allowed by law then how is it dishonest?
You might want to try and get some sort of coherent arguments going before you start typing.

It's dishonest because I feel people are being conned and duped. The volume of the product they're being supplied with is greatly at odds with the size of the packaging. Therefore, something is amiss. Also, there are quite a few things that are allowed by law that are also dishonest. Some companies produce their terms and conditions in such a way as to hide extra charges or other undesirable conditions they don't want the customer to know about until it's too late.
Again, I've noticed you seem to throw a hissy fit when someone voices an opinion different from yours. I'd suggest growing up.0 -
Mine arnt half full, they are half empty :-(“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”
