They don't even taste like they used to, never mind charging the same for less

This shouldn't really be a surprise, not after we found out that Cadbury reduced the size of it's chocolate bars but increased the price of them towards the end of last year.

+1, there's a lot of factors, but basically the recession was a great excuse for a lot of BS

Yes the margins on them have probably gone up as well. If they carry on like that they will put people off. It might be better to get proper chocolate rather than the mush that the big manufacturers produce.

They also dropped mini rolls from 12 to ten a year or so ago.
Do manufacturers think wer're too stupid to notice? Cheese in tesco dropped from 400g to 350 when I bought last week. It's happening to everything pretty much. Wouildn't be surprise it teabags have less in.

How long before they reduce pack sizes till they are individually wrapped t-bags?

I'm sorry, but we're a nation of lardy-arsed, type 2 diabetes candidate idiots. Smaller portions of crap is not a bad thing. Consider how long before they give up taking these measures and just start sacking people?

For the last couple of boxes I've drunk, I've been concerned that the tea isn't as strong as it used to be.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

If you want good strong breakfast tea get hold of some Rintons tea. Glorious stuff
