Top n Tail?

I purchased 2 packets of these Pukka gingers as they were on special offer. 


I turned alternate bags upside down and to save space as the individually wrapped bags were fatter at the bottom and easily managed to get 32 bags in a packet that usually holds 20, that is an incredible 60% more.

Pukka?

Pukka tea bags? Two of the boxes below contain an extra 20%
more tea bags in exactly the same sized box, that's 4 more

24         :         20         :         24

But as you can see there is room for more more more.

Dr.Stuart's Extraordinarily Good Tease

Yesterday I purchased 2 packets of Dr.Stuart's Extraordinarily Good Tea,
mainly because they were on offer for £1 for a packet of 15 herbal tea bags (26g)


I opened the box and flipped the bags so they were laying flat rather than
standing upright, revealing that approximately
33% of the box is empty space.

Text on the box states 'Dr.Stuart's has 15% less packaging than before'

Why would a company boast about using less packaging when they could
have made the reduction 3 times greater?

Celestial Seasonings -supporting ethical trading practices?

Bengal Spice tea bags, 10 bags, 23g
The packet is less than a third full.  How ethical is that?

Clipper tea - Green vs Sleep Easy

The packets are the same size, yet one contains 25 bags, the other only 20.  That is 25% less.

Is this really Green tea? Can they Sleep Easy?  Not in my book

Yogi Tea

Is the packet half full or half empty?  Check this out, 2 new packets of Yogi Tea, but the contents of both actually fit in one box.  No trickery involved.  But doesn't the printing inside the box look lovely, it makes me think the tea tastes better and justifies the ridiculously high price for 15 tea bags.



Would you like manufactures to fill their packets up with more products?
