Some of these complaints are the consumers' fault. Either they didn't read the instructions or the weight & just went by looks. However I honestly believe that most of the producers are very dishonest on purpose & should be called out every time & made to fulfill their advertising or face fines & be punished to the full extent of the law.
First of all: don’t even say ‘read the packaging’. Often the print is so small you’d have to inspect it with a magnifier. Are you prepared to stand in a busy supermarket and do this? Secondly, the new trick the manufacturers have come up with is ‘ for ingredients go to our website’. That is actually illegal ! Third: what is the point of the extra packaging if not to deceive the buyer? Number four: how often do you try to complain to so-called consumer care. You just get stonewalled and eventually it’s costing you more time and money than you care to spend. You consumers in the USA used to have a Ralph Nader fighting for you. We need an army of him.
These bastards will have to explain themselves one as to why they did such deceivement. Whatever their answer is, isn't going to keep them out of HELL. God bless all of us who have been deceived. Amen 🙏 ❤.
I noticed it a lot in the UK after the sugar tax and after C19 that everything has shrunk but you pay twice as much. Biggest scandal is a milkyway bar. The thinnest and smallest you-didn't-know-you-ate-it white chocolate bar that would normally sell for 25p is now 95p, the same price as a thick chunky cadburys double decker that takes me 4 satisfying bites to eat.
Not even to mention the waste created by all that excess packaging. Profits over all.

I really thought this kind of thing was illegal, you know, companies get charged and shut down and stuff.

A lot of powder type products are sold by weight instead of volume.
Of course that does not prevent a company from using a larger container.

So sick of corporate greed. Hope people saved their receipts.

One has to read the packaging
But the small print is hard to read and the tiny print is worse.😆 😲 😞 😩
@@jeffharper7579 So true. 1 trick I use is to open my camera on my phone & enlarge the picture. Then I can read it.
Thank capitalism for this.
So much talk about sustainability. We seem to be going in the wrong direction...
Stop buying cheap imported crap 😢
