Yesterday while I was having breakfast, I discovered a ripoff the affects mainly seniors.
I had two boxes of the same cereal on the table as one was just about empty so I had a full one so I could have the usual cereal serving. I happened to notice that the weight of the old box was 1.45 kg. (Sorry, I don't know what this is in the English system.) The weight on the new box was 1.24 kg. So the new box weighed 210 gm less or .21 kg less. So this is almost 15% less. And you guessed it the price was the same for both boxes.
Today when I did my shopping the price on the 1.24 kg box was $7.49. That's almost a twenty percent percent increase from $5.99. Now that's a real big kick in the pants. How low can some big food companies go so that they can squeeze out more money from little old age pensioners ?
So why is this mostly for seniors? Well, many young people don't eat breakfast. Raisin bran is consumed mostly by seniors as it keeps them in great condition. Would kids eat raisin bran? I think not. So this company hits hard on seniors.
So therefore I have made the accusation that seniors are being ripped off.
Now I could include pictures of the boxes of cereal to provide evidence of this scam but I would have to take off the name of a very big cereal company or I may be liable for slander just because I inform seniors
that they are being ripped off.
I think I'm going to have to find some hot cereal that is far less expensive than the cold cereal. That'll teach them for ripping me off.
