oreo cookie filling

Just bought a pack of oreo cookies(haven't had any for a couple years). I always pull the cookie into 2 parts to eat, when I pulled the first one apart I saw the cream filling was about the size of a nickel. The second one's filling was about the size of a quarter, and the third one had the normal filling amount. It seemed to be a pattern like that for the whole package. Thought about complaining to the manufacturer but wondered if anyone else ever noticed anything like this. Maybe this was just this package or perhaps this is something like many other products today-reduce the size instead of raising the price(like ice cream going from 1/2 gallon to 1.75qt to 1.5qt) :h ps: wouldn't it be great if this was the biggest problem we had in life
  • I was told that my grandmother* raised her children when the price of a gallon of milk was a nickel {{my mother's dob was 1904 and I'm 73 now}}



    * re. the inheritance I got...... missed 100 by 6 weeks, she did.

    :p
  • Bought a pack of hot dog buns and there was 5 in the package (I am in Thailand) use to be 6. Coke here is now in 11oz cans, and a dozen eggs is now 10. But prices stay steady haha.
  • I have not had an Oreo in years. Our youngest grandson inhales them when they get near the house.
    But, I have noticed things getting smaller (not the price). I think it's just the way it is, everyone is trying to hold prices to be competitive.
