Smaller Size Food Packaging Disappoints

A can of Bumblebee white tuna fish packed in water used to be 10 ounces, but today the can is 6 ounces. It used to be white and hard packed in the can so that it was difficult to get out with a fork. Today the tuna is mushy and falls out of the can -- not worth the money. I have stopped buying it altogether.

It used to be that ice-cream came in a half gallon container, but the container of sherbet I bought a few days ago says 1.5 quarts. As long as the quality remains high I will buy it, but if the producers reduce the size of the container again I will stop buying it. It would probably be healthier for me to stop eating frozen yogurt and sherbet anyway, but I would prefer to enjoy it.

At Maine Warmers, we have not reduced the size of our products. We actually doubled the size of our Back Warmer and now sell more of the extra large one at a higher price than we do of the traditional sized Back Warmer. I have noticed some other items that sell more are our over-sized ones including the Whale Back Warmer and Al-the-Gator which is an extra long neck warmer.

Maine Warmers microwave heating pads are perfect gifts for Father's Day.
