Anybody else notice and Wendys everything got smaller?

[AnastasiaStripper]

Fries, drink, salad.

I ordered the small junior combo and it was like a kids meal.

They're just trying to keep you trim

 

[HG Hunter]

Unfortunately, I'm quite well versed in the junk food world and yes Anastasia the combo sides are smaller than they used to be. It used to be standard to get a medium drink and fries with your combo with the option to supersize to a large. Now you get small and can upsize to medium or large.
I guess that's one way for them to keep prices for the combos steady without taking a hit on profit.

I just noticed that a bag of chips is now 65g not 70g, but the price is still 1.29.

 

[HG Hunter]

And what used to be a 2 liter ice cream container is now 1.89 liters. But it still looks the same.
Those dirty rotten scoundrels.

Did you notice that a roll of toilet paper is now 140 sheets instead of 200 sheets? Did you notice that a VIP song is now 2 minutes instead of 3 minutes?

 

[Twinklegirl]

And those 900g cheese bars are now 650g? Like we don't notice.

Tim Horton's doughnuts are smaller too. The fritters used to be the size of my head, now they aren't even the size of my fist.

Isn't the jr combo a kids meal? I thought it was the Wendy's version of the Happy Meal, but maybe I'm wrong. Did you get a toy?

 

[PurpleMonkey]

Yeah, last night I even noticed my penis getting smaller....like what the fuck? Friggin' rip off!

haha. No the jr combo's are just 3.99 combo's, sort of like mcdonalds value meals. they had normal size drinks and fries just with a smaller burger.


they also have kids meals.

Did you notice the counter girl has IQ of 87 instead of 93 now.

90% of the times they forget stuff in the order. Whats the point of a drive thru when you have to go back into the place and ask for all the stuff they forgot?

 

[Cobster]

I love it, a lot of girls I know do the same thing, go to a burger place, get fries and then a salad...wth? lol

Get a burger at the burger place and get the salad at the grocery store

 

[Cycleguy007]

Meh...

This is the SOP of many companies for years... Instead of raising prices which everyone notices right away, they reduce the size.

In the case of junk food... I could care less. Don't ever touch the stuff...

LOL...you have to stop calling yourself "Purplemonkey"

 

[great bear]

Its called "shrinkage"

 

[S.C. Joe]

I rather see them cut quantity than quality.

Did you notice your new bike is 2 inches smaller?

Well, they are already bound by zero on the quality side so quantity is really the only avenue open to them.
