RowdyRebel Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well I've noticed certain items are getting smaller at the grocery store....for example a 1/2 gallon carton of OJ is now only 59 ounces instead of 64, etc....but I NEVER thought I'd see the day when THIS would happen... I sure hope this doesn't catch on...I mean what kind of world are we living in when a 12 ounce bottle of beer doesn't even have 12 full ounces of beer in it? 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

RowdyRebel Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Rowdy is really stepping up in the world-Guiness-WOWI will have to look at the other stuff around hereNah...didn't buy it. Took the pic at Walmart (and I was sadly disappointed with their selection). I ended up with 3 different 6-packs...Coors Batch 19, Third Shift Amber Lager, and Henry Weinhard's Northwest-Style Lager.Couldn't find Shiner & the only Sam Adams they had was the summer variety pack with a bunch of fruity varieties........but yeah, I stepped up to better beer when Budweiser was bought out by the foreigners...try to buy my beer from American-owned breweries. I know Coors is owned by the same group as Miller (also foreign owned) but I was intrigued by the Batch 19. Supposed to be a pre-prohibition era Coors recipe, and I've always liked older stuff...figured I'd give it a try....at least they are all in 12 oz bottles.

I used to like to drink Rolling Rock but then it was bought out by Budweiser and is no longer brewed in Latrobe Pennsylvania it's now brewed in Newark New Jersey and I don't even know if they make it anymore but it never did taste the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Always heard that stuff "taste like what it looks like". That's why they put it in dark bottles. Miller looks like the Mexican urinals I see construction dumpsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Pick up a jar of peanut butter. The bottom is sucked in 1/2 way up the jar, reducing the internal volume by TONS! Looks the same on the outside, but no where near the same volume. But, costs the same(or more). Ice cream is the same, no where near 1/2 gal cartons.Just noticed last week at the store, as I was getting my package of Double Stuff Oreos. I've noticed the size of the package dwindling over the last year(cookie count is way down per package). Now, they brought out the "family size", which is what you USED to buy to begin with. Of course the cost is about 40% more then the smaller package they have now. Like everything, you get less for more. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

David Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Larry, Is it just me or do Oreos not soak up the milk the way they used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Can't really say> Never really had them much as a kid. Only last few years have I kinda got a hanker'n for them. Grab about 6 and a tall glass of very cold milk and I'm a very happy guy!! I could eat the whole package at once, but I just put the package away before I start LOL!! I do think there is a slight difference in cookie make up? They do seem a bit crunchier/drier then before.I know the quality has dropped considerably. More broken cookies, more smashed cookies, etc. I"ve just watched the package get smaller and smaller over the last year. They are constantly on sale at local grocery store.

Mike Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 David, I think it is the glyserin inside the cookie. The milk just rolls right off them onto your laptop while lying down to eat. I had to go back to animal crackers cause they have not $#%&*@ with them yet. Government is afraid all of them mothers would not vote for them in the next election, so they've left them be.Rowdy, I guess you'll do like me and make your own when you get enough of being ripped off.

Besides, I don't drink near as much as I used to...back in college these 3 six packs might have been enough for a night....maybe....but anymore, these'll prolly have me set for a year or two. Heck, I've still got a Sam Adams "Bonfire Rauchbier" (came in a variety pack w/ octoberfest and other "fall" beers) with a "best if used by" date of January 2 years ago, but since that was my last one I figured it was time to buy some more.

Apple dog Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 This has spilled over to bread. I was fetched up on Stroehmann bread it used to have 16 servings. Two slices per serving. Now it has 12 servings and the bag is the same size as it used to be. I rite them a letter and axed why the decrease in size. All I got was 2 cupons for $1.00 off a loaf of bread. When they quit making honey buns that was a sad day in history. The breakfest of champions was a Stroehmann honey bun and a DR Pepper. Quote This is Mack country.

I'd get on the Muscadine list when it comes available.mikeI think that's what kind of grapes I use. They grow wild all around the edge of the yard, up in the trees. They're not much good to eat because they're mostly seed, but they have the best taste of any grape i've ever tasted, very sweet. I've tried to get them to grow in a couple of spots on some trellises I made, but they haven't really done much. The most and best are way up in an oak tree where they're hardest to get to. I borrowed a ladder from work last year and picked all I could reach, and even spread a tarp on the ground and shook as many off as I could. Still only ended up with less than a gallon of wine.

other dog Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Looks like my grapes all right- haven't seen any coon poop. I would have tasted it if I found any before, but now I won't because it must taste pretty bad.I like that show, Jo hates it for some reason.
