    Dont they usually fill the wrappers with air so it protects the product in tansit , thats why crisps have air in the packets
  • If you recycle the packaging , it doesnt matter how much they use ???
  • Fair point, but since the bars could be sold as singles then wouldn't the air to stop them being damaged be in the wrapper of the individual bar instead of in the box?

    There is air in the individual bars look at the size of the wrapper to the bar
  • Didn't look at the pics properly.

    But still there would be still a bit of space between the bar and the top of the box if you placed it right down to the bottom of the box.

    Why don't you just stop buying them, and write and tell them if you feel so strongly? Some people really do have too much time on their hands.

    Recycling does consume energy.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, this site IS about moneysaving isn't it?

    Nice to see you have enough time on your hands to read the post and reply to it though.

    I have stopped buying them and I think writing to Kelloggs would be pointless, but if other people want to avoid being ripped off, all well and good IMHO.
