Ice cream: Have you noticed?

Remember, farmers are affected by the rise in fuel prices as much as - if not more than the rest of us. Add the effects of weather-related crop failures, transporting that food from wherever it was made to where it gets [produced, the cost of packaging ...

Not that I am happy with rising food costs, but I think many don't think of what goes into getting to the supermarket shelf!

They've still gotta be manufactured, packaged and transported - all of which require fuel!

Though I never knew a "gallon" to be a negotiable measure!

He heee.

What got me was they made it LOOk the same, so you had no idea the size changed. When they change a formula, they boast, NEW AND IMPROVED. When they change the label, you see ads, "NEW LOOK GREAT SAME TASTE!" But change the size and . . . it just quietly appears on the shelves.

I don't have a huge issue with the fact things are going to cost more with the fuel/crop failures etc. The issue I have is the changing of the size in addition to the rising prices.

I agree though, I didn't realize 'gallon' was negotiable or any other 'standard' size of measure.
