Increased Price or Rerduced Size

**digitalron** · August 8th, 2011 02:02 PM

We all have our favorite food. We know its taste, texture, aroma. And price and size. With incessant inflation hounding us, the food we eat either increases in price... or decreases in size.

McDonald's seems to be bringing size decrease to alarming levels nowadays. I used to remember when a Big Mac is a [SIZE=4]Big Mac[/SIZE]. Now a Big Mac is a [SIZE=1]Little Mac[/SIZE]

This morning, I had a bit of a shock with the Sausage McMuffin delivered to us

What I got is on the left.... What I used to know is on the right

So which alternative is acceptable to you:

1. Food size/portion stays the same but price increases

2. Price stays put but size decreases

[size=1]Arghh... didn't notice the typo in the title. Mods please edit the typo in the title. Thanks![/size]

actually, double adjustment ginagawa nila. decrease the amount or size and increase a little on the price.

even jollibee does it, pansin nyo may XL fries na sila, pag abot sayo malaki lang lalagyan at ang laman ay yung dating large nila. asked kung baket naman ang konti ng laman... may standard weight daw sila sinusunod.... which is??? the cashier never answered...

dating ang panahon na magiging totoo yung commercial ng ladies' choice... ISIPIN MO NA LANG HAM(BURGER) YAN...

ang tanong ito bro, ano ang mas ramdam mo?gutom ng tiyan or gutom na bulsa. btw, for me reduce size na lang. less calorie pa. madalas naman talaga sa pinoy, busog na kaya lang nanghihinayang sa leftover.

For me, they should just keep the size and increase the price.

Same here... just keep the size & quality, and increase the price.

Or maybe they can introduce a JR sized version...

Increase the price and retain the size. It makes sense as having a fatter wallet and bigger stomach is natural progression as we age.

Napansin nyo din ba in restaurants, when they have some sort of promo (ensogo, etc) that the serving is much smaller than normal? Noticed this at a ramen joint where they offer 50% off your ramen if you order their gyoza. I thought what the heck, even if I didn't eat the gyoza that's still -50% off, great deal di ba? Ayun, pagserve ng ramen 1/3 lang yung laman compared to normal serving. Puro noodles lang haha.

From the point of view of a businessman mas maganda reduce size na lang... Mas halata ang increase price baka humina ang sales...

They can simply make smaller sized meals for budget buyers. People who buy the regular menu items are more concerned with their bellies than their wallets.

It's almost not worth eating at fast food joints, anymore. I'd rather get a full meal at a carinderia...
