    I knew it! I told everyone that the eggs had gotten smaller. The universal response was, "No, you're just bigger."
    Then I asked some 50 year old people who hadn't grown in 5-6 years whether or not the eggs used to be larger. The response was a resounding, "Yes."

    Even before that, about 15 years ago, the eggs were even bigger. However, since I was five at the time, all I can say is that when I put it next to a jumbo-sized chicken egg, they were the same friggin' size.

    It's on now, Cadbury. You're going down. Well, at least the American branch is. The English one seems to be on the ball.

    This leaves us with no other choice but to replace all hens in the world with ostriches!

    Basic economic theory. In order for them to make more money they can either make you pay more for an egg, or they can simply give you less. The latter being the least noticeable, the former one probably being more acceptable.

    Big time.

    A couple of years ago, a brand of chewing gum said that, even though the prices of other products were going up, theirs would remain the same. They did, but they put 4 pieces instead of the original 6.

    If I was on their marketing division, I'd totally take the quality instead of quantity approach!

    This is a perfect example of why a free market is so goddamn bad, in a communist market this all would never have happened.

    Of course. A communist market would not have sweets.



    (Except if they taste like horse shit)

    Of course it wouldn't. In a communist market there wouldn't be any sweets, 'cause sweets cause obesity, and that would cost the state money in medical care and the likes.

    That's why one company (read: the state) shouldn't be involved in all aspects of the market.

    Of course it was/is sweets in communist states. It is stupid to say something else.

    I believe labyrinthian once said something about people in Prague talking about that the only sweets they ever had during the communist regime were bananas for Christmas. Is that the world you would like to live in, Bree?

    If you want communism so bad, do the opposite of what the Cubans are doing, move to Cuba.

    I'd even move to the worst commie shithole on earth - D.P.R.K, still, I respect the D.P.R.K.

    And no, I won't move anywhere until I am a doc. Cuba could be nice, but not for the moment.

    but surely the communist state will recognize your potential and make you a doctor for the good of the people. and if they don't want you to be a doctor... are you saying you know yourself better than the regime. because that's blasphemy, you know, and just cause for re-education.
