Del Monte + Kool-Aid Jammers are shrinking!!!

[sunshine6100]

Has anyone else seen the new boxes of Del Monte Juice Pouches + Kool-Aid Jammers? Here comes the rant...
They look New + Improved.... more vitamins, less sugar, blah blah blah... But not so fast!!
Look in the corner -- 10 X 180mL = 1.8L
They used to be 200mL!! Down 10%!!
Keeping the price the same and shrinking the size. I'm on to you Kraft!!
Looks like I'll only be buying Minute Maid boxes from now on. I have coupons for those too!!

Join me in this boycott!
Who do we write to?

The new packaging is really different and I'm interested to see what they will look like empty for making more kool aid bags. I had no idea they are smaller that is stupid because there is not alot of juice in those to begin with and now they are even smaller. I might switch to Capri Sun for my next bag

this reminds me of the 3d doritos, 120 g less in a bad (180 vs 300) , yet same price..

so what if they are shaped like a triangular prism..

regular doritos are in the third dimension are they not?
also, the flavor on the regular doritos were more concentrated.. the 3d ones were more bare of the seasonsings..

now thats... BS

No surprise - because they are keeping the price similar.

BUT, I wish this wouldn't be done for many, many products it has happened to recently with package shrinkage. Just a recent example - Catelli fine egg noodles, which I use for homemade chicken soup, used to come in a 500g bag - exactly the right amount for a pot of soup. Now they are down to 375 g, so that means I have to use a bag and a half.

Grr on double posts!

You can just write to the companies and express your displeasure!
And sure, go with Minute Maid - we did - and you get pure juice, too! Better for the kids than KoolAid.
