However the crisps should in my view cost the same per 100g regardless of packaging otherwise yes the consumer is getting ripped off.

They're not though, as the cost per 100g is still less in the multipacks.

Because they'd rather have the multibags to contain the same size bags as the single ones for a lot less money!

Well, it seems directing Walkers to this thread has brought some happy news (for my niece anyway)..I got two surprise £1.50 vouchers in the mail not long ago! :T

The problem is it's normal people that are shopping with their kids or in a rush, that get duped. Doesn't matter though does it, serves them right.

Of course it doesn't serve them right! If someone sets out to dupe you, and you get duped it is not your fault, it's the person you set out to dupe you's fault. You are in no way to blame and nor to you deserve it.

Following your logic, I could come round to your home and shoot you, and it would serve you right for allowing it to happen.

There you go with that completely unsunstatiated 'most people' quote again.

Please, show us the facts that show 'most people' are unaware rather than your own perception, because so far the majority of opinion seems to be to the contrary.

Well did you know how many grams there are in a packet of crisps before this thead was started, I certainly didn't.

Erm, yes I did, more or less. I knew there were 25g in multi-packs and 30ish in singles, it changes from brand to brand. It's obvious as soon as you eat a differing size bag from your norm that they are not the same, which is why a fair few people have commented that if it is a swindle it's not a very good one because it will only work for the first time purchase.

And therein lies your problem, you're transferring your lack of awareness on the public in general, which is inaccurate to say the least.

Well all I can say is that you a very shrewd shopper, even if it works for the first time purchase that's a lot of wonger for Walkers.

Just for you I'll change my statement slighty by saying in my opinion most people would not have a clue how much a pack of crisp weighs.
