its because the cereal is denser than most. Its all done by weight from the factory. Just like those small BS doritos bags

LMAO! I opened one of those big a$$ economy sized bag of potato chips the other day and it was only about 1/4 full! Read the package and those famous words are there......."sold by weight, not by volume". Seems like you get less and pay more for everything nowadays! Glad to see Im not the only one feeling Im getting screwed.

WOW.

Best cereal I've ever had!! LOTS of fruit (strawberries and blueberries)...

Better than the Post Select with dried fruit I was eating before!

I'm coming back to this one!

True, sold by weight not volume. But I have noticed a lot of places lately that have been chizzling out on contents. Mc Donalds for example, I went to the drive thru, ordered up a combo meal with fries. I get the fries and they are about half empty. So I ask the person at the window if they can fill the box with fries. The person's reply "We no longer do that. We have been instructed to not fill the boxes all the way."

A lot of other products too, you are used to getting 12 oz of something. All of a sudden you get 11 oz for the same price or more.

Damn! That is so crazy!!! I don't feel it should based on weight...they get away with so much CRAP!


Can't join in the fun with you cereal lovers...I have tried and tried to eat different kinds, but I don't like any of it. The problem is it gets mushy too quickly, and then I can't eat the rest. Certain cereals I can eat plain, straight from the box, without the milk, and be just fine....mushy=grossy
