In this country we have the right to post online and name names of a company tries to stint the consumer, in order to warn others, and organize boycotts if necessary.
I agree, it's just that you had one disappointing cup of noodles and claimed corporations are food rationing because of it.

I got my son a bag of doritos a couple years back. It turned up 1/2 full. Took it back to store and got a replacement bag. Never happened again and I didn't make claims that Doritos was part of some conspiracy. Booga booga.

Stint? Boycott? Warn others?

Did you just send the company an email yet or would that cut into your conspiracy\attention seeking\fake drama time?

I stubbed my toe today....GENOCIDE!

Even toiletries. The tp roll is now not as wide as it used to be and if you want what is a normal roll of tp now you have to buy what is classified as a jumbo roll. What used to be a normal size roll, now is a jumbo roll, at xtra cost mind you.

Paper towels, same thing. Used to be a normal average size roll of paper towels, now one has to buy what's called a jumbo size.

Soap, bar soap. What's with the concave soap these days? Used to get a perfectly square'd off rectangle of soap. Now they're concave in the middle. But has the price reduced? Nope.
And posters tell us to just go buy another product. But that won't help because all the companies are pulling this now.

Maybe our ole g'parents had it right. Papertowels? They used dishrags.

Soap? They made their own soap.

Toilet paper? Well, I dunno, ........... don't think I could use an out house and torn magazine pages. I dunno bout that one now.

One persons concerns are another persons paranoia and corporate conspiracy.

Write the company and ask for some free coupons. Sheesh.
