Times Companies Put Profits Above Ethics With Their Packaging Designs

[@SmileDaily.Official]

What burns me about this is can't have plastic bags to save the environment....but companies can make products like this using waaay to much plastic to decieve. Ffs start there!

[@Patriot-wj9ck]

I'm visiting CA and having to purchase bags for 10 cents each is ridiculous. I cannot believe the amount of litter scattered everywhere here. Plastic cups seem to be littered the most. I really don't think they are trying to save the planet at all, just trying to rip us all off.

"shrink"flation with a large dollop of deceit on top.

[@MarleyBu]

Those big blister packs with a few tablets really annoy me. In fact the whole scandalous lot piss me off! Maybe false advertising???

[@TinaHemphill]

Whenever I receive a package like this, I make a mental note never to buy products from that company again. It’s false economy on their part.

We are paying more and more and getting less and less.

When I was a kid, many decades ago, the boxes of cereal always said… Contant may have settled due to shipment! It was a lie back then and it’s still a lie.

Reagans deregulation has a long-term effect!

All those gaps and empty spaces, wonder what could be put in there? #shippedfromchina.

Shrinking savings hidden behind packaging

And every package has the product weight on it. One can comparison shop at the grocery store.

Every week I feel like we are sliding further into dystopia. This is the bad timeline.

It's getting beyond a joke. Even knitting yarn which normally comes in at 100 g is now 80 g. I noticed though that one brand did go back to 100 g again.

Retail is all about psychology and deception.

[@dansmodelworx]

Yeah most of these are genuine but I'm calling BS on the oreos at 6:31. Between my daughter and I we've had 4 of those in the last week and everyone of them was full. Maybe they got a one off or the contributor faked it.

Coming from a country 🇬🇧 that prides itself on its anti-deception laws (Which reasonably hold out, so long as you don't look closely at how „democracy“ works here! 😉) that _„Mind the Gap“_ in the _Pret a Manger_ and _Tesco_ packagings (Both UK brands) suggests we might be losing those laws here fairly soon... 📦🤏🤔 (Makes plans to buy a set of drug dealers pocket scales. Anything that can help me check the weight of goods on the shop floor _before_ I pay for it is likely to be useful... ⚖)
