WOW! Look At That Super-Sized Bag Of Chips.

       There seems to be some sort of conflict between the people who make the packages, crackers and all sorts of other edible products come in and the people who fill those packages, boxes and bags. The folks who decide how much to put in a package, for some reason, refuse to talk with the people who make those packages or for that matter print the picture on the outside.
       Now I understand the reasoning for making a bag bigger than necessary for potato chips. It's so they won't get crushed. That job falls to the folks who jam the filled bags in the shipping boxes and the store clerks who force too many onto the shelf. But what about other foodstuff? Why is it that that large bag of cookies or cereal or what-have-you is only half full when you get home?
       But that's not the worst part. Suppose you'd like a cracker large enough to put some snack on it. You check out all the boxes and bags and select the container with the picture of the largest cracker on the front of that package. Invariably though, when you're home and open that container to put some out on the table hoping to impress you're boss's wife, only to find that the thimble sized crackers, which are all crushed anyway, are completely lost under that sliver of cheese you placed on it.
       Now I don't mean to be picky, but shouldn't those containers be either filled or cut to fit the product inside? And wouldn't it be nice if the picture on the outside were the same size as the product on the inside? The company could make twice as many containers if they did manufacture to fit. Of course if they showed the actual size of the cracker or cookie or what-have-you, they would probably sell fewer of them, and just maybe that's the reason for the misrepresentation. Same answer for the too large size container.
