"Oh my God, this snack package is too big!As soon as I opened it, I was stunned!"It's really lonely!”…Recently, the problem of "shared area" of snacks has aroused enthusiastic complaints from consumers.
In order to attract consumers to buy, some snack merchants make a big fuss about packaging, using various "blind methods" to design convex grooves, logo blocking, etc., which give people the illusion of large packaging and large capacity. This practice was jokingly called "the shared area of the snack industry" by netizens.
A netizen shared his experience: "A box of tablet candy looks full, but when I open it, the place in the middle that is blocked by the logo is empty!A bag of vacuum-packed original peanuts, with peanut patterns painted on the bottom and both sides, is really laughable. A box of prunes, after opening it, it was found that there was a tall 'inner tank' inside, occupying half of the area of the box......”
Some bloggers evaluated the "shared area" of snacks, and the results were shocking. A bag of sandwich seaweed, with a thick packet of desiccant under the only piece of seaweed, makes people mistakenly think that there are several pieces in the package;A box of dried figs from the front is a cylindrical packaging box, and the sides are actually flat;A box of buy 2 get 1 free value Dove chocolate, from the outer packaging to see the size of 3 pieces of chocolate, after opening it found that there are 2 large chocolates and 1 small chocolate inside, the volume difference is just covered by the ** on the lower right side of the outer packaging.
In this regard, netizens commented one after another: "Conscientious merchants, buy desiccant and give snacks", "I thought I had picked up a big bargain, but I didn't expect to be confused by the 'blinding method'......"In the past, the snack packaging was as much as it could be loaded, and now the snack packaging can be filled with more 'less' and more 'less'. "This phenomenon reflects a kind of chaos in the current snack market. In order to attract consumers to buy, merchants unscrupulously play "tricks" on the packaging, so that consumers have a visual illusion. This not only harms the interests of consumers, but also affects fair competition in the market.
Faced with this situation, consumers should remain vigilant and not be fooled by flashy packaging. When shopping for snacks, look carefully at the contents of the package to see the actual volume and ingredients. At the same time, we should also encourage businesses to attract consumers by improving product quality and innovating flavors in a highly competitive market, rather than deceiving consumers through false packaging.
In addition, the relevant authorities should also strengthen supervision to crack down on false propaganda and misleading consumers, and safeguard the fairness of the market and the rights and interests of consumers.
