Walkers Rip-Off
Am I the only person who's just noticed that the size of a packet of Walkers crisps sold in a multi-pack is smaller than a normal packet? About 50% smaller? A normal packet of crisps is 35g, whilst one sold in a multi-pack is only 25g. So when a multi-pack seems like a bargain, remember that if the multipack is for 6 packets, you're missing out on 60g of crisps, almost two (of the larger) packets! It got me wondering what other companies pull this trick?

Hi
its not just the multipack rip-off its the number of crisps in a packet generally which is in steep decline. They must have a department that decides how few crisps they can get away with in a packet. Given the volume that they sell taking a couple out of each packet would make them lots of money. When they started they were easily the best crisps you could get. They no longer are the brand value to the consumer has been destroyed by commercial greed. Buy Burts crisps - they taste better, they are better value and they are a decent firm.
