The stock market is crashing, giant companies are closing after 100+ years, politicians are battling back and forth, and gas prices are at an all time high. And what is next to make this world even nuttier….I’ll tell you what…FOOD QUANTITIES!!! That’s right every company in the world is shrinking their food quantities left and right. They must think American consumers are not right in the head or something, but this is one American that is not buying it! The first one I noticed was Ice Cream companies…they have all shrunk their Ice Cream by about a pint making them 1.75 Quarts, instead of the original half gallon (BTW, Bryers is down to 1.5 quarts). I guess they thought we would not notice since they were using the metric system now. Then, I started noticing that I was finishing off my favorite cereal’s a lot faster than usual. I thought it might be the fact that I really like cereal, then I noticed that all the cereal brands (Kellogg, Post, General Mills) have taken every box down by as much as 2.5 ounces. The saddest part about that…they are charging MORE for the cereal…..AHHHHHHHH, don’t they know that my children and I kill off a box a week. This is NOT GOOD!! Well, I thought it could not get any worse, but I was at Wendy’s the other day, and I ordered a couple of junior bacon cheeseburgers. I haven’t had them in a while, so I decided to get my normal two burgers & a side salad. Well, I was starving after eating them. Why was I starving…well, because each burger was about 3/4 the size they used to be. It is sad my friends…even Altoids are smaller…soon, they will just be Tic-Tacs. What is happening to America? I hope Chipotle is not next!!
