- Description
A woman shopper looks in amazement at a row of tiny boxes of biscuits which are advertised in a large notice as 'New improved giant packets of monster biscuits'. Refers to a high degree of consumer disgust expressed in a Waikato Times on-line poll of readers from November 2-4 that has shocked Mill St Pak'n Save supermarket owner Glenn Miller, who said it was an age-old manufacturing tactic. The Times poll showed that two thirds of the 173 respondents had noticed products recently downsized, with 85 per cent disliking the practice and 43 per cent agreeing it is "downright disgusting".
