From a newsgroup post dated October 24, 2006:<\/i><\/p>\n
I like Frito-Lay’s “Wavy Lay’s” potato chips. I eat them a lot. For years, I’ve gone (with the help of Julie and the kids) through maybe three or four 11.5 oz. bags a week — I keep an open bag on my desk and nibble on them off and on. (Now you know how I got so fat.)<\/p>\n
I deliberately bought the 11.5 oz. size because the larger “Family Size” (which I think is about a pound) was too big — by the time we finished a bag, the last few chips would be soggy, and who wants soggy potato chips?<\/p>\n
Last week Frito-Lay did something that I’m sure they thought would be wildly popular with consumers — they changed their standard medium-sized bag from 11.5 oz. to 13.75 oz., for the same price.<\/p>\n
But 13.75 ounces is too much. The last few chips get soggy.<\/p>\n
So yes, I’m seriously annoyed that they made my favorite food cheaper<\/i>.<\/p>\n
I know it’s perverse of me; I don’t care. 11.5 ounces was just exactly right. 13.75 is too much.<\/p>\n
But it didn’t last. They currently sell three sizes — Regular, Family Size, and Party Size. Family Size is 10 ounces, which is a good size.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
