    Write to the company! Protest, protest, protest!

    Remember how quickly Coke rescinded "New coke?"

    Just think how much money they must have spent on all new molds and machinery and resizing packaging ...

    Bet the smaller cups do have less calories ... those finks!

    Not Reeses peanut butter cups!!!!!!! They are my favorite way to destress! (Although the bags get me into trouble ).

    I've noticed companies are using cheaper ingredients/ making things smaller rather than raising the price.

    A helpful hint: Buy the Sam's Choice (Wal-Mart brand)BAG of peanut butter cups! They are WONDERFUL, much cheaper, and you can eat them by the handfuls!!!

    Here they do all that but they still raised the prices!!!

    We can blame the media for some of this by gripping about people being too fat!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I forget which yougart brand did this... maybe yoplait, they changed their 8 oz. cups to 6 oz. cups because "people like it better that way." Yeah right! Who likes getting less for their money?!

    So im not the only one that has thought this!!

    also other things as well..
    such as a can of tuna,, i swear used to have more tuna in it then it does now a days.

    i think have redused the amount/size in a lot of stuff...
    thinking we notice

    or at least thats how i look at things.

    You haven't had good peanut butter cups until you've tried the WalMart brand. They use real peanut butter and thicker chocolate and are delicious! Now I'm wanting some.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
