Sorry for being unable to update as much. If I'm on the computer, Xander either wants to be on the computer or decides to make a wreck of the CD collection. He goes no where near the CDs unless I'm typing, so I must be doing something wrong. I need to be scarier.
*Insert witty segue here* (I just found out how to spell 'segue', I originally had in 'segway' which I knew wasn't what I meant)
A couple of weeks ago I was shopping for groceries and had to pick up ice cream with all of the other essentials. My method of choosing is to see what is on sale and pick a yummy flavor from the 'lite' selection. No problem, fudge brownie chocolate!
A couple of days later I decide to have some fudgey brownie chocolatey goodness. As I'm pulling off the lid I realize something is off. As I stare down at the container I nearly curse aloud. Ok, I would have just said 'Fudge' but I restrained myself. The ice cream container is definitely smaller! Shrinkage! And probably not caused by the cold!
When you look at the front, the length and width look the same. But the depth of the container has definitely decreased. Sneaky! I noticed Edy's shrank a while ago, but it was a noticable change. This I didn't notice until opening the ice cream.
I know it's what companies are doing, especially to save money in this economy. Shrink the package, thus less product in each package, but keep charging the same price. I tell you, it makes me grumpy! I don't care if they leave out one olive from every jar (mostly because I don't eat olives). Even the dimple in the Skippy jar didn't bother me much. But now they are messing with my ice cream. I'd say those are fighting words, but I'm not really going to fight it. I'm just going to get grumpy and stare at the grocery shelves.
