A sign outside the beverage distributor (read: beer store for non PA residents) spoke of a Labatts special.
Having enjoyed that libation, I purchased a case and only realised the fraud perpetrated upon me when sitting by the PC and glancing at the bottle this evening.
The label, at bottom right reads 11.5 FL. OZ. 340 ml. That’s right, sports fans-not a full 12 oz. of beer. In the 24 bottle case, there is now one less bottle of beer than there was in the 12 x 24 configuration.
Dammit! No wonder why I’ve been travelling to the refrigerator with increasing frequency.
You know it isn’t uncommon for food producers to shrink the amount of food going into the same sized package. For instance, I used to buy a certain brand of dried pasta in 16 oz. bags. The same brand now sells bags that for all intents and purposes look the same and cost the same, yet are only 12 oz.
This sort of thing is why we have food labeling. If the label says 12 oz and you are only getting 11.5 then you might have a complaint. I say might, because I think that the amount can be off of what is listed by a small percentage.
Anyway, you are the customer. Complain to the company and then stop buying their product. That’ll show them.
