Have you noticed when you buy a product at store you are not getting the same amount as last time even though the price is the same as last time ? This has been going on for years, The manufacturers alternate between raising price and reducing the size hoping you do not notice you are paying more per ounce or whatever. For instance a looong time ago you could buy coffee in a 1 lb. (16 ) ounce can or 3 lb. (48) ounce can. We drink Chock Full Of Nuts Columbian and in the last year went from 39 ounces to 33 ounces ( they used the same size can to fool you) to 28 ounces

Nothing is sacred any more. I just bought a new tube of Crest, the full size not travel size and noticed it has only 6.2 ounces verses my old tube with 8 ounces. The sneaky basitids made it the same length but slightly less in diameter.

I am sure you have some of your personal rants about this marketing scheme and this is the place to let everone know.

so i noticed this one......large blizzard from dairy queen is the exact same size as a medium, different price though. buy a large and fill the cup with water to the top and then dump that into the medium cup and itll fil it to the top as well......bastards wish reds never burnt down

 
This reminded me of this upset Jimmy Dean customer (nsfw language)

klondike bars are much smaller too, really disappointing

 
meats is the most depressing.

humans have hemoglobin, unlike a lobster, or a carrot... or a greenbean.

a food that important to replenish iron, especially men, should not be going the route it is.

I did find a meat market local, nice place. nice density. clean. It has been almost 6 years since saying that last.

 
its all a way to make more money....time warner is saying there going to have to drop wcsh (nbc) which plays all the good shows and sports and what not. They did this last year with several other stations as well which usually always result in a price raise to keep the station...

 
I'm just waiting for them to start selling gas by 9/10th of a gallon or something stupid like that...

I saw that too, but Eff TWC. I can get those channels in HD for free with an antenna. so they can go blow goats after the POOP they pulled with me.

You can get a decent amount of stations where you are Matt. Try it with a cheap antenna.

 
Have you noticed that over the years the diameter of paper plates have been getting smaller and smaller. Pretty soon the large will be the size of the old small.

Funny you say that I was gassing up the cruiser the other night and as soon as the pump turned on it went right to .3 gallons and I never touched the handle.

 
The size of Americans vs the size of food products are growing at inversely proportional rate, weird.

Well if you really want to piss off the old man in the power chair read this: http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RL30243.pdf

(go all the way to the end. The association is not legally allowed to prohibit you from displaying the flag on private residential property as long as you follow the US flag code.

He is a douche and so is his wife. I would say, stick it to them.

and on the antenna, No. you can have an indoor antenna and have it work fine. I would put it in the top floor, and feed it to the rest of the house through the pre-wired setup with an amplifier. There are a bunch of amplified antennas at homedepot/lowes.
