Aldi's has - every time I buy their buns and dogs, it's 8 per pack...

I encountered one recently that I was shocked by: OTC meds that remained the same price but had the dosage reduced.

I mean, cut the number of pills in the pkg if you need to, but to reduce the active ingredient from 600mg to 400mg without making it REALLY obvious on the package is just not right. Medication dosage matters.

I am actually okay with this one because I am super sensitive to staleness (it's a texture that really bothers me) and bigger bags just get stale and I end up throwing them out still half full. I appreciate the smaller bags.

So just buy smaller bags then. They've always been available. So you are happy buying a big bag that is now a small bag for the price of a big bag?

Sure, it’s embarrassing. I’ve seen plus sized people denied rides. But none of those cry to social media about it.

The kind I buy only come in one size. And yes, it has like 1oz less now. And I'm fine with it. I don't buy then often enough that it makes a dent financially.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the topic, but the women looks normal size. Maybe 60 years ago she might have been plus sized.

That’s been brought up for decades, yet I always remember both frankfurters and buns being available in both 8 and 10 packs. Even in the early 70s.

I started this thread based on a Vancouver Daily Hive post. That site seems to be mostly British Columbia people whining about perceived injustices.

She couldn’t fit on the ride because her boobs were too big for the restraint to latch properly. It wasn’t a weight or “fat” problem, just body proportion. But she herself called herself “too fat” to ride, then got bent out of shape when the teenage ride attendant didn’t disagree. He just nodded and said OK. Apparently she wanted him to blame the restraints, or the Fair, or the lack if signage, or she was expecting him to reassure or coddle her.

The woman herself is commenting on the story, and is succeeding in just making herself appear to be a Karen.

The story indicates that she WAS obese, but lost 70 pounds.
