Snack Packaging

Crisps are (for some reason) sold in packs of six. I don't know why. There are 5 working days in a week, and 7 days total. That means you either have one pack too many or too few. Which is stupid. I have a pack every day at work, which means I have too many. That's not too bad really, and it'd take a hell of a long time to build up such a surplus that they were going stale before I got to them all.

But this post is about Rice Krispie Squares. There's no denying that they are delicious. The chocolate caramel ones are God's own snack. Jesus died for those tasty chocolate chunks and sticky caramel goodness.

So why do they sell them in packs of four? FOUR! What the hell is the point in that?

From a marketing standpoint it's genius. You need to buy two packets per week instead of one. Or pick up a single individual bar along with each pack. Which is not only silly but also more expensive. But from a "being sensible" perspective it's retarded. I don't want to have to do even primary school level maths in order to work out how many I need. I want to pick up one packet for each week I need. At least crisp makers reward me for this with what I consider to be a free pack. It all adds up. Probably.

So, Kellogg's, sort it out. Make it five per pack, stop the madness!
