Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Here's a random one. I was munching on peanuts and noticed this label
Maybe it's just my dirty mind but what does that peanut on the label look like? ![]()

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That's in the realm of subliminal advertising. You can bet they did research to get the "right" look for that label.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
They don't call them Sugar Smacks anymore. They call them Golden Puffs now. I guess it sounds healthier.
It's like KFC changing their name to KFC instead of Kentucky Fried Chicken. They wanted to lose the fried part of the name. I don't know who they think they're fooling. It's still the same stuff. EDIT: I stand corrected. I was at the market today. They aren't called Golden Puffs. They are called Honey Crisps. And Sugar Pops are now called Corn Pops.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Well I went to the market and this bugged me.
I buy this salsa. And now it's in jars that are maybe a little bigger than half the size that they were before. AND THEY COST MORE!!! ![]() This is the new jar. I know it's hard to tell the difference from the pics but in person It's very obvious. The old one was way bigger and cost less. ![]() And the old one I have in the fridge. ![]() I know it's not a big deal. It's just cheap salsa. But it is irritating to get less for more.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Studies have shown that consumers are less bothered (if they notice at all) by reduced quantities compared to increased prices.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I guess that study shows people would rather be duped than dealt straight. I sure am bothered more by smoke and mirrors sneak tactics than a simple and obvious price increase. This chicken chit, "Maybe they won't notice", tactic gets under my skin. There is a reason products come in the size packaging it does. We buy milk by the gallon, 1/2 gallon, quart, pint, 1/2 pint, not by the 120.6 oz, 59.8 oz, 30.3 oz, 13.7 oz, or 6.9 oz container.

![]() I always thought that that guy that sued Subway for the foot long sandwiches not being exactly a foot long was a jerk with too much time on his hands. But now I'm thinking twice. If you give them inch they'll take a mile. Maybe he wasn't such a jerk after all....But he probably is. My random photo... My black plates are going bye bye. I traded them for a nice set of blue ones because the mental patients that run the DMV won't let me use the black ones even though you could get black ones in 1970. They know better than me. ![]() ![]()

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
It doesn't make sense, except to them. My '70 truck was built in '69; that was it's YoM, and it had black and yellow plates when new. The blue and yellow plates came out in January '70 (as a guess).

What the hay. I like the blue ones better. The other dumb thing with the DMV is that I have to have a 1970 registration sticker on the plate. Really? Who has that? Who hasn't registered a car in 52 years and it still has the actual 1970 sticker on it? They are all reproduction stickers now and they know it but you still have to have one.
