Why are protein powder containers so huge now?
« on: March 14, 2010, 09:28:35 AM »

WTF is with all the wasted space?  I don't get it.  They're less than half full. 

We have to pay for that space when we have stuff shipped.  This is bullshit.  Someone explain it to me.  Thanks.

Same reason the box for a computer game is so huge.  It makes you think you are getting more.

Same thing with a bag of dorito's. It looks like there are so many tasty chips but then you open it up and there's only half a bag  >:( :D

Potato chips - giant, air-filled bag and then you open it and it's a 1/3rd full.
