I always thought the smaller packs were the regular size and then they brought out those grab bags which are much bigger ?

They have reduced some of the multipacks now in size

I think one of the biggest cons is juice selling juice like mango and passion fruit but the biggest ingredient is Apple juice as its cheap and they are allowed to get away with it.

"And Innocent’s mango and passion fruit smoothie contains a mere 16 per cent mango and 4 per cent passion fruit."

"Tropicana’s mango and passion fruit drink contains 87 per cent apple juice, with only 9 per cent mango and 4 per cent passion fruit"

Do Walkers own or have any financial interest in 'Innocent' or 'Tropicana'?

I never claim they have. I was mealy highlighting there are bigger misleading products out there.

PepsiCo own Pepsi, Walkers and Tropicana

You are wrong. I checked, both individual bags and 12 x multipacks did not have the weight on them in Morrisons tonight.

WRONG!!!! Did you check your facts before posting wrongly? Or were you trying to be 'smart'?

Did you mistakenly quote/reply to fluff twice or did you just disagree so strongly you posted twice?

They are not short-weighing, they are a a different size product sold at a price which reflects the smaller size bag. 'Bag' is not a unit of weight..

They certainly are short-measuring - there is no other conceivable reason to pack "under-weight" bags in multi-pack

If you cant see that I cant help it

And "bags" are what Walkers are actively selling/promoting in multi-packs - because it suits their scam - and other companies have noticed and jumped on the multi-"""""pack"""""" scam

they print the weight somewhere because they have to - but they do NOT sell multi "packs" of crisps "by weight"

Most baked "low-fat" snacks on the market taste like polystyrene

Nicest baked snacks on the market are Sunbites - Scrummy

They taste OK at first and then you realise it's just all the sugar they put in.

Bags in mulitpacks have ALWAYS been smaller. Bags in multipacks have ALWAYS been priced accordingly.

If they were selling 6 multi pack bags for the same price as 6 single bags it would be a swindle. They are not, the price reflects the lower pack weight. The price per 100g for 32g packs is £1.49. The price per 100g for 6 x 25g packs is £1.05 per 100g how is that a swindle, you are paying less, for less. There is no conspiracy, no cover up, no short-weighing. They are two different products.

If you can't see that I can't help it.
