I just opened a box/tube/pot whatever and I'm sure they started lower down than they normally do.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Haven't eaten any for the longest time, but I do recall them getting lower and lower in the bucket. They've learned from the potato chips in a bag trick and how they fill it all up with air and then you open it and the back is only half full... or is it half empty

I hate all this healthy junk food crap. IT'S JUNK FOOD. GET THE PEOPLE TO EAT IT LESS. bah.. don't put crap (i.e, artificial sweeteners) in unhealthy food. It makes no difference.

then again, what do they care, pseudo-healthiness boosts their sales

I don't eat pringles.

They are nasty and taste too industrialised.

Yes, your observation is correct.

The cans used to contain 200 grams (7 ounces) as late as 2006.  But it appears that the 2007 cans are the same size but now contain either 170 grams (6 ounces) for the main flavors and 163 grams (5 3/4 ounces) for some of the specialty flavors.

Edit:  this isn't the first time that the package has been reduced ... in 1983, the Pringles can was 230 grams (8 ounces)

well i have noticed they're been getting smaller in amount, but to be quite honest if there's an open pack of pringles (especially salt and vinegar) then i guarantee they will be no more withint 7 minutes (3 for salt and vinegar)

they're just too dammed addictive

Disco's are worse, they full up half the bag and the rest is air.

May as well have smaller bags to save themselves money, they ain't fooling nobody.
