I don't buy cereal very often and when I do, it's usually the "healthy" stuff like granola or tree bark. I was in Wally World the other day buying groceries when I suddenly got a craving for some healthy cereal. Had the money, so I indulged.
Later that evening, I opened up my new box of Nature's Path, USDA organic, excellent source of Omega-3, Organic Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch cereal...
...and was immediately ticked.
I paid almost $4.00 for a box of 60% air!!! This is worse than potato chip bags!! Of course, the box had the "sold by weight, not by volume" disclaimer which supposedly nullifies any wrong-doing on the part of the manufacturer, but this kind of deceptive packaging is inexcusable.
The cereal was good - both bowlfuls - but I will never again purchase Nature's Path products, even though they have recently started using smaller, less deceptive packaging. The suits should have figured that out beforehand.
"Divers weights and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD." ~ Proverbs 20:10
