The great Walkers swindle

I've got a radical solution.

Define a standard bag as 25g. Then you can say that, when sold singly, Walkers throw in a few grams extra free, for better value. Bonus!

Even easier solution - Just make Walkers pack regular 'bags' they sell individually - so Joe knows exactly what they are buying in a multi-pack

As a punishment (for years of swindling) dont let Walkers advertise this fact save editing weight of the packs

Take about another 20 years of Walkers giving away 30% more crisps before Joe actually noticed - make up for 20 years short-packing by 30%

Payback!!!!!!!

Less of the cheap (and incorrect) digs please. Is something up with your short-term memory? It was only yesterday I said I'd contact Walkers as both you and JethroUK are content to complain and rant amongst yourselves and not approach the company. It was on your behalf (please, don't thank me), and to stop this nonsensical merry-go-round that's going on.
Talking to yourself and repeating the same guff is like p!ssing in the wind, you have to be more direct if you're annoyed enough and want resolution.
If you look at my first post on this thread, I said I rarely eat crisps, just the odd multipack from my niece's school supplies.
Most of my replies on here have been responding to you (who apparently "doesn't care enough" to contact the company you're bleating on about).

I'm afraid you started the digs and now you are telling me I have short term memory problems. I don’t actually recall asking you to contact Walkers so you’re right you’ll get no thanks. The so called merry-go-round is being fuelled by you.

I’m not talking to myself at all, I’m just responding to people like you.

I certainly don’t care whether you eat crisps or not, so stop posting and try to be a nicer person.

Not possible really, nice idea though.

I contacted them because for some weird reason neither of you will do it..who knows why, you just like to complain in the comfort zone of a forum. Things will never progress with that approach.

I'm a perfectly reasonable person, I just can't abide trolls with selective memories who won't listen to reason. You said yourself that you won't contact Walkers, yet you've devoted most of today and yesterday to this subject.

Find something really worthwhile to get upset about!

Here we go, lets throw the troll word in.

Definition of troll - someone who doesn't agree with LouLou.

I don't like to say it but you are being a little trollish yourself.

You've devoted the same amount of time also and you don't even like crisps (they can make you a little chubby if you are not careful).

It would be silly.

Hm, judging by your previous posts it appears you have a lot of time and energy for those who disagree with YOU (and ignore common sense statements, explanations and even ignore certain questions you can't answer).

I'll leave the troll to attempt to wind other people up. You're not worth it, you're obviously lacking a few brain cells to get upset over crisps, and incapable of intelligent discussion.

Didn't someone say that the trouble with common sense is that it's not too common.

The problem is there has been no explanation why a few companies make multipacks with smaller size singles in. If someone could give me the reason I'd be happy. But at the moment it appears it's just a way of making them look like better bargains than they actually are.

You are the one who has started down the childish name calling route not me. So what does that say about your intelligence, no comment.............

I can't believe this thread is still dragging on. If you feel you got a valid complaint why not complain to them rather than waste time moaning on here as if that will do any good

Maybe your just like Victor Meldrew
