The size of weetabix

Having just eaten my breakfast of a plate of weetbix
biscuits, l noticed that the biscuits looked thinner than l
remembered them being?
I then noticed that l could get 4 biscuits into my bowl
instead of 3 that l usually eat?
This got me thinking! So l looked for the weight of the box
but could not find it anywhere on the nox? But l did find
that the box contained 48 buscuits, but again no mention of
the weight of each biscuit . Now l cant remember how many
biscuits used to be in the boxes before but l suspect that
this product is marketed by the amount of biscuits and not
by weight?
A marketing ploy no doubt!
My question is, am l on the correct forum?

Best Regards Donkeyman!

Weetbix is sold by weight as far as I know. I buy the 1.2kg box, I have some most days in the summer but two biscuits are enough for me.

Yes Rhian! A whole side of the box devoted to it?
Do you think they could market the product on the NV?
Things traditionally have been sold by weight?
Do you think this is changing?
