Milk Powder
This is my week's snivel!!! I buy full cream milk powder for a bread recipe I make and as we are now having the odd sort of day that would suit breadmaking I checked my supplies and got reading the packet.
The packet contains 400g of powder. 125grams will make a litre of milk. Although I was away the day they did maths at school, 125grams from a 400gram packet is not going to make a nice rounded four litres...no, only 3.2 litres. So why can they not make the packet 500grams and be making sense at the same time?

Yep that is gay(not the happy kind) Im picking it is something to do with price pointing
-
Is it possible that like some brands of biscuits and chips, that they have reduced the size of the packet to keep the product at a certain price point? I thought they used to be 500gms but it's been years since I bought powdered milk.
-
It is most definitely a case of reducing the content to keep the price the same. The manufacturers bank on the average punter not noticing.
