Lorna Doone Cookie Conspiracy

Traveling to work today I glanced at the local gas station and saw the price was $3.89 per gallon. I guarantee it will only be a matter of time before gas stations adjust their pumps and begin selling gas in half a gallon quantities. $1.95 per half gallon appears better than $3.89 per gallon.

It appears that cookie maker Nabisco has already created their own less is more attitude for their famous Lorna Doone brand cookies. Upon inspection of the Lorna Doone contents, you can clearly see that the cookie wraps do not reach the top of the box. Not even close. And, to make matters even muddy, one of the wrappers had two cookies less than the other. Nabisco cannot blame content settling when one wrapper has less than the other.

Expecting a lower price? Hardly! The cost was ironically $3.89 per box. I wonder if Nabisco will be selling half boxes for $1.99 anytime soon?

    Alaria,
    No, it is not a photoshop picture.

    Contessa,
    Cookies are a serious business. Oreo's are the best.

    Shouldn't you be looking for the real killers of JFK instead of exposing cookie boxes.

    such scallywags deserve exposure, here in Britain they are even more shame faced, a regular trick is to reduce the size of sweeties and say "new improved"

    Even the Girl Scouts of America are scamming the public with the same reduced contents for more money.

    My problem isn't the amount of product, but the product itself. This batch was thinner than I remember and very hard. It was nore like the consistency of an oreo than what I remember Lorna Doones used to be like. AND there was NO DATE on the package anywhere. The local CVS had them on sale....buy one get one free. They were probably warehoused for who knows how long. One has to be wary of sales anymore. Oh well.
