    Anyone notice that when you buy a six pack of crisps that the bags of crisps inside are always smaller than the single sale bags? I think its quite sneaky.

    In tescos at the moment you can get six packs of Krunch (purple & pink coloured packaging) crisps & the packets are tiny compared to the single sale packets. Almost half the size.

    Its ridiculous.

    Yeah this is ridiculous!

    They're always SO MUCH smaller. So you're not getting 6 normal packets.

    Are they only getting away with this because nobody complains?

    It's a free market, you don't need to complain, just choose not to buy the product for the price it sells for if you decide it is not worth it. Buy multiples regular sized bags if it's better value and what you want.

    And you pay nowhere near the price of 6 packs. When I was a kid a 6 pack was the same size, 28g usually, some were 25g. Nowadays the "newsagent size" crisps are far bigger than the old 28g standard. Maybe people like the smaller bags and thats why they changed, the bigger bags are too big for my liking. Always look at the price per kilo when comparing prices.

    It's not that these bags are smaller, its that the newsagent bags are bigger.
    They were probably the same size once, but not the newsagent bags have grown to 35-40g instead of 25-28g
