Another sneaky product downsizing: Skippy Peanut Butter

[turtlelover]

We don't buy peanut butter that often, but I had a craving for a peanut butter-and- chocolate-covered cake (a clone recipe), and we were running low.

The jar of Skippy that I bought a few days ago looked the same as the one I had at home, but the net weight was 16.3 ounces. The one at home was 18 ounces. Upon further examination, I saw that the bottom of the jar is now a concave shape (as if someone had pushed it inward).

At least their web site is updated to show that the size of the jar is 16.3 ounces.

Well, all that fat is bad for us, anyway.

every time the Hungry Man frozen dinner folks change hands they go
through a cycle of leaving out the food...

a few years ago I called and told them that I saw a killer opportunity
for them, since they had the turkey down to two razor thin slices
anyway... I suggested that they could just have turkey slices printed
on the bottom of the tray, then cover it with gravy.

no way in hell would their bean counters spend another 20 cents to
double the turkey serving...and offer actual food for the price.... a
5% increase in the retail price.

accordingly those owners went broke. sold to the nice folks at Vlassic
dill pickels... whom after 5 years of ownership have opted to put
actual food in the box....I was impressed.
