I was sitting on my coach watching TV after cross country practice this morning. I had finished eating breakfast, but I was still a little hungry. After a rampage through my pantry I found a "100 Calorie Pack" of Cheetos. I thought it sounded good. I opened the box and found only four packets left. I found this odd considering my mom just went to the yesterday. I looked at the box to see how many packets were supposed to be in the box. Would you like to know what I found-- five.
I think it is a little crazy that with packets that small, that they can only fit five in a box. I don't think it is very fair to pay extra for the pre-measured serving size and then get only a tiny amount of the food. Isn't the manufacturer trying to please the consumer?
You are becoming an informed consumer. Complain! Call the manufacturer or take them back to the store where purchased and complain to the manager. All large companies "estimate" what's in each box. Do you really think you get 100 paper plates ? etc. This would be a good project for a school essay etc. Do more research. This could become a mission. I agree it's a rip-off. However, most people are too busy (lazy?) to pack their own snacks like your grandma did for grandpas packed lunch.
