The Absurdity About Junk Foods
Mar 30, 2008 I Uncategorized.Junk food contents inside their packages used to have lots of it in the past. Today, even the smallest average sized junk food seems like you’ve been robbed of 90% of how much you actually paid for it. For only 10% contains the junk food that you so want to eat. The rest of the 90% is just air or nothingness. This is the same as being robbed. Those companies should be sued! If you bother checking how much contents one packed junk food has, the average large size doesn’t even contain half of it, more like 1/5 only. All brands are the same, even the expensive Cheetoh’s which I thought would be different but instead, I get only almost 50% as junk food based on its total size. tsk.
The only positive about this is that we can forget about buying junk foods and it will help us avoid getting fatter. Saves you money too. Practically speaking, I barely buy junk foods these days because I would just be disappointed upon hearing how much contents it has when I shake it. It’s better to buy biscuits even if they are a bit more expensive. Have 2 junk foods against 1 pack of biscuits will yield the same result, biscuits are practically way better to buy than junk food. Nowadays, when we buy junk food, we pay according to this criteria
90% - air
10% - junk food

its a marketing technique.. if it looks bigger, people would pay more because they think there is more..so i suggest to stop buying cheap junk foods because:
1. they would always be more empty than those you pay more for
2. junk food is unhealthy!
so next time you plan on getting a bag of junk food.. think again.. do you want to eat something 90% empty with all the MSG? or a fruit of the same price which is tastier and healthier?

yeah it is. and they should be sued for it. it’s the same as stealing coz they’re deceiving us.
and .. even the imported ones barely are full. or is it just if they’re made or packed in the philippines?
i barely eat junk anyway. but i get so pissed when i see them in grocery stores that i want to nuke those factories that make those junk food. and if i do want to buy one, i’d usually shake it and check how much is inside resulting in me not buying anything. ha ha.

nah i dont think they can be sued for it.. they do it for expensive lotions as well, perfumes, etc.. they make the pack look big coz thats the only way people will buy.. next time just check the grams, not how big the plastic is.
