I love the tiny cans of soda now available in US supermarkets. They're all I buy at this point. But if they were being sold for a dollar a can at the 7/11, I would be pissed.
- chrisseaton 5y agoSoemtimes prices for resources and labour go up. That’s not a big conspiracy, or a trick being played on anyone, it’s just a reality of the economy.
- moate 5y agoSo sell me the same sized thing for the price plus inflated cost. Of course it’s not a conspiracy, it’s just deceptive marketing. I can accept that a hamburger that cost a dollar 20 years ago shouldn’t still cost a dollar. My preference for how to deal with it is raising the cost, not offering an inferior product. Other people might prefer to just get less for their dollar (or whatever currency they use where you are).
- chrisseaton 5y agoBut people have fixed incomes. They have the same budget even if your product costs more. Provide them something at the same cost and they can keep buying it. Raise the price and maybe they can't. > it’s just deceptive marketing As long as they print the net weight or quantity or whatever on the packaging I'm a-ok with it.
