I just got another can of REPEL insect repellent which says "Bonus 25% more." Can is exactly the same size as the old one. I was about to cry foul when I noticed the new can is 8.125 oz and the old 6.5 oz.
Guess they figured they could cram more into their spray cans.

My dad was in the grocery business all his life, you wouldn't believe the things they do that actually make people buy more.

burger kings first few years of "combo meals" were actually more expensive than buying the parts separately. i used to tell them that every time i went to one (i knew the owner of a bunch of them in mesa) and wouldnt buy the combos until he finally changed the pricing to be an actual bargain.

The In 'n Out Burger "meals" cost exactly the same as buying them separately.

Around here the combos at the McD's/BK/Wendy's etc used to always be like getting the drink free...now it's about a quarter off the combined prices.
