Wuhan, December 28- Recently, the "blinding method" on snack packaging has sparked heated discussions in the society, and merchants have spent time on packaging design to attract consumers to buy, making the product look large and large-capacity, but in fact, it has caused many consumers to be dissatisfied. This phenomenon has also been confirmed by reporters in offline supermarkets in Wuhan, raising concerns about consumer rights.
The reporter's investigation found that some businesses use various means to "obscure" the appearance of the goods more affordable. For example, the price is 232 yuan, net content of 140 grams of Jindi jumping candy chocolate, its cylindrical box only in the middle row of chocolate, occupy about half of the whole box, and the part without chocolate on both sides is covered by brand logo, product pattern and other wrapping paper. A similar technique appears at the price of 13On the 7-piece Dove Sea Salt Zero Sugar Dark Chocolate at 8 yuan, consumers can clearly hear the sound of the internal items moving when they shake the box, and after opening it, they find that the 7 pieces of chocolate only occupy half of the box. And a box of 85 grams of Quduoduo cookies, after opening it, it was found that the inside was divided into 3 compartments, and the capacity of the middle compartment was much shallower than the left and right compartments. 
Whether this "trick" is suspected of deceiving consumers has attracted widespread attention. Zhu Danpeng, an analyst of China's food industry, said: "The large area of snacks is actually a common problem in the food industry, which is one of the reasons why the state cracks down on excessive packaging. He believes that the excessive pool area is suspected of deceiving consumers, and relevant regulations should be introduced to curb this phenomenon and protect the rights and interests of consumers.
To this end, all sectors of society have called for strengthening supervision and promoting the introduction of relevant norms. Representatives of consumer associations said that excessive packaging undermined consumers' right to know and violated the principle of fairness in market competition. They demanded that the relevant departments intervene as soon as possible to conduct a serious investigation into this issue, ensure the normal operation of the market order, and ensure that the rights and interests of consumers are not violated.
In addition, some people in the industry have also expressed their opinions, believing that we should standardize the standards of snack packaging by strengthening industry self-discipline and supervision, and put an end to the use of "blind eyes" to deceive consumers. At the same time, it is recommended that enterprises should pay more attention to integrity in product packaging and truly present the net content of products to establish long-term consumer trust.
While this problem continues to ferment, some companies have also responded positively, announcing that they will adjust product packaging to be more in line with the principle of honest management. Industry insiders said that this is a positive signal and also shows the urgent need for honest packaging in the market.
To sum up, the controversy caused by the "blinding method" of snack packaging highlights the problem of excessive packaging, which has formed a common focus of concern between regulators, enterprises and consumers. The society expects the relevant departments to issue clear regulations as soon as possible to effectively supervise such behaviors, create a fair competition environment for the market, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
