Yeah I liked them. Had some good flavor options. I only bought them in the past when they were on sale for 1,39€ though. Otherwise they are way too expensive. But since they reduced the amount of chips and made them even more expensive I have never and will never buy them again. They can go fuck themselves. I get it if you have to temporarily raise prices because of inflation or because the war affects you in some way but at the same time reducing the amount of chips in them while keeping the same packaging and hoping no one would notice is just an asshole move.
Same (as with many other brands too).
Sadly the amount of quitters isn't nearly equal to the amount of extra gain those fuckers make due to people who are ignorant to their power as a consumer to vote by purchase-decision.
I think most of them just haven't noticed when it happened. Same with other products. You need to be a person that has bought the product some times in the past and the type of person to check how much you actually get (the amount of content) to realize something like that when it happens. Even if they realized at some point or got told by another person it probably doesn't affect a person as much anymore as a person wo saw through that the second it happened since they might think "Well I have been using it the last few weeks/months etc and I was still satisfied"
True. I made the mistake of thinking that everyone is a critical shopper and always aware of the prices/sizes of things. There probably are enough people just buying stuff they need without further analyzation.
Yet they also do fit in my point. The quitters aren't the bigger group and hence quitting was futile (in the sense of exercising your vote by an active choice of purchase versus boycott).
