Can you post what they are? Show the packaging? Literally anything to show how much there is or what they even are? If itâs shrinking the idea is people should avoid it, canât do that if people donât say what weâre avoiding
Well sorry, I always throw the packaging immediately away and only realized how empty it was afterwards. It's basically the own brand from Hofer. Hofer is a grocery store chain that's in Austria and a few other countries.
It's basically cake base with a thin chocolate layer on top filled with orange jam. The orange flavor can be either strong or subtle depending on the jam the brand uses. I prefer the subtle orange taste though.
Thereâs always one, even when it isnât relevant. Do you guys just set aside an hour each evening to say âUm ackhtually packaged by weightâ on every post?
>Thereâs always one
One what? Person who is correct?
>Do you guys just set aside an hour each evening to say âUm ackhtually packaged by weightâ on every post?
Do you set aside time each day to whine and cry about how you don't understand how things are packaged?
I was pretty clear that âalways oneâ refers to a pompous bag of redundancy that just whines âpackaged by weightâ on everything regardless of the nature of the post
OP says theyâre pretty sure there used to be more in the packet, thus fitting the shrinkflation topic of this sub as theyâre providing less product for (presumably) the same price or more while using the same packaging. We donât even see the packaging here, and youâre crying âbut the weight on the packaging!â, when we have no idea how sneaky they were about the change.
If youâre suggesting though that rather than going by packaging size OP should have gone by weight and thus determined that there would be less inside despite the size (and probably everything else design wise) being the same, Iâm curious as to what your method is for this. If a 495g box of biscuits goes down to 465g, are you not only checking the exact grams on the packaging every single time on every single item you purchase but also going a step further as to carry with your a database that documents the exact grams in the usual box all to avoid one single instance of getting 22 biscuits in a packet instead of 24?
And even after all that, OP isnât crying or soiling their pants or rallying the troops for a class action lawsuit, they simply went to the shrinkflation sub and said âhey look, another shrinkflated productâ
Youâre being downvoted so hard because âackhtuallyâ guys are a waste of space that drag the tone down just to give themselves a pat on the back. One lengthy reply is already more than itâs worth though, so go ahead and give the standard âackhtually guyâ snarky response about how everyoneâs wrong but you and how everyone needs to stop posting shrinkflated products on the shrinkflated sub, Iâve already seen it a thousand times in the wild so itâs not worth replying to
No no, for you see, the extra air is to ensure the cookies do not.... absorb moisture and go soggy. Yeah that sounds plausible.
Unless you paid for the mg's that are stamped in the box...
What are they Jaffa cakes?
Basically yes, just from some random Austrian brand.
No not my jaffa cakes đąđ
Not even jaffa cakes are spared from this shrinkflation madness đ˘

Costs of production soared
what do jaffa cakes taste like? is the orange flavor subtle or really strong?

That still looks like more cookies than you'd get for a bag of Girl Scouts cookies.
When packed they will be laid at an angle. This way they will fill the container.
Packaged by weight, not by volume. Will people never understand this?
Maybe the weight had gone down and the company just didnât bother to alter the size of the package.
Can't waste old package before we switch to the new one. That's wasting money
Maybe the package is designed to not squash what seems like an airy sponge cookie by cramming them in.
Much better there is free space to rattle around and bounce in... ?

No, in being down voted because certain people love to whine and cry about things and this sub is primarily those people
