    It shows a small one very clearly on the posters in store, I can't belive that anyone would think it was a normal sized one to be honest. :confused:

    How do you know the one depicted in the picture is a small one?

    Is is pictured next to something else of a fixed size, like a 50p piece, to give a scale comparison of the apple pie?

    Surely it's logical to assume it's a normal sized one. If you saw a picture of a well-known product they've been selling for years like a Big Mac, why would anyone not think it was going to be the size it had always been?

    I think the OP makes a fair point. The POS material should state it's not a full sized apple pie.

    you'd be better off buying a tub of ice cream from a supermarket, you'd get much more for your money,

    It shows it in the sundae pot with the ice cream, now unless they have made it so you get a litre of ice cream with it, I think its fairly easy to know that its going to be a small one. I would have never in a million years assumed it was a full sized one withe the sundae

    Now, I am sorry, but even my 6 year old son could figure out that that is not in any shape or form the size of a normal one

    Your life's ambition is complete. :T :confused:

    I guess the moral is, on a financial and health note, it's probably better to just make your own.
  • I think you find the pie is about a 3rd less than normal size pies, otherwise the normal pies would be alot larger. McD's are always selling 2 pies for 99p, I've never seen 2 pies with ice cream for 99p. I aint too keen on the ice cream as it melts far too quickly. But atleast the sundaes are more like ice ceam than the flurry's they sell.
