Sorry dat het in't Engels is maar het geld ook voor Belgie.
Verpakkingen bevatten minder maar de prijs blijft gelijk.
Er wordt meer van een product verkocht dan er van bestaat.
Prijzen worden net voor de solden verhoogd
etc...
De consument wordt opgelicht voor miljoenen jaarlijks, zonder gevolgen.
Maar als je het ook maar aandurft voedsel uit de vuilbak te halen mag je langs de rechter.

10. The incredible shrinking chocolate bar, or how we're paying 20% more for every gram of Snickers

Nope, you’re not imagining it, your favourite chocolate bar really has shrunk in size.

Both Mars and Snickers bars have been reduced by more than 10 per cent because the company behind them promised that all their chocolate bars would have a maximum of 250 calories.

That means a 58g Mars bar is now a 51g Mars bar, while a 58g Snickers bar now weighs in at 48g.

2. Paying a fortune for hot air when you 'pop' to the cinema?

Got a cinema visit planned? Chances are you’ll splash out a fiver or more on a tub of popcorn to scoff during the film - and you won't think twice about it. But you might be more reluctant to hand over the cash when you hear quite how much over the odds you’re paying for it.

These days even the smallest bucket costs around £4 which, when it only contains around 8p worth of kernels, is horribly steep. In fact, even when you take into consideration the cost of overheads - salt, sugar, cooking, staff wages, ground rent, rates etc – the conservative estimate is that cinema popcorn sells at a staggering 1,275 per cent mark-up.

Some sources say that the box it comes in costs more than the popcorn inside. Next time we’ll be smuggling our own in.
