Re: What a difference a carton makes!
Update on the change in the shape of the carton.
I have now weighed the original round aluminium dish and also the new rectangular dish.
The round one was 14g, and the rectangular one was 10g.
Given that the net contents of the food weighed the same in both dishes, that means that changing the shape of the dish has saved 4g of aluminium per meal.
Given the thousands and thousands of those meals made, that's a lorra lorra aluminium saved, plus less wasted space in the transit boxes.
Interesting.
Also interesting that for some reason, the meal doesn't look quite as appetising in the rectangular as in the round dish, yet it tastes the same! (It's only a subjective, marginal thing, though!)
I will have to dig out some old credit card slips and see if the price has changed.
