Re: Product Changes

I was watching something (can't remember what) where they said that supermarkets sell the stuff that the companies pay them to display in prominent positions! So our tastes aren't important. We have no choice on what's sold, even if they sell more of one brand, another brand could be worth more because they're paid more to promote it!

That's true, Twiz. Wasn't it on Alex Polizzi's new show, about helping businesses? It was the sausage factory and the owners went to a supermarket to find out about the fridge displays. I'm sure that was it.

Some of these companies are run by idiots!!

Yes, and I bet "the idiots" don't even use the product themselves, and that's why they don't know what we need!

Re: Product Changes

Half the time they do this I stop buying the product, not because I object to 'rebranding', but because I can't find the product on the shelves anymore

Re: Product Changes

Have you noticed even the Oxo Cubes now have indents in the sides, so you now get less. Also I use Soya Milk and they have changed the lid, which now when you pour the soya out onto your cereal, it now goes all over the kitchen table and not the bowl. grrrrrrrr

That is so annoying - my favourite almond milk is the same, takes me ages to pour and yet they are supposed to test these things !
