Will Shrinking Packaging Shrink Your Waist?
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
Ice cream half-gallons are no longer, candy bars are dropping ounces, and so are bags of chips and peanut butter jars -- just a few victims of the subtle, but undeniably shrinking package designs being passed onto the consumer by food manufacturers. Even toilet paper width is in jeopardy. That's a clear foul -- no one should ever mess with toilet paper.Food companies are facing higher prices to make that peanut butter, and one way to keep the price of Skippy steady is to raise its price per ounce via a bigger indent on the bottom of the jar.
OK, here a That's Fit question for you. If an eight-ounce Hershey's chocolate bar is now six-and-a-half ounces and that half-gallon of moose tracks ice cream has slimmed to 48 ounces, could our waistlines shrink, too? Call it the Food Manufacturing Diet, the I Can't Afford Another Jar Diet, the Recession Diet, whatever, but do give us your thoughts in the poll below:
