pie-eater 207 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't like the sound of this The recession has forced John Smiths to take drastic measures - the brewer has watered down its beer. To save Heineken, which owns the brand, £6.6m in duty, the alcohol content of John Smith's Extra Smooth has been reduced from 3.8% to 3.6%. As if that wasn't bad enough, it is also raising the price by 2.5p a pint. John Smith's is far from the only product that has been forced to adapt by the chilly financial climate. Some chocolate bars, including Mars and Snickers, are now smaller, and while this has been spun by the manufacturers as a response to concerns about obesity, the effect on their bottom line is clearly even more beneficial. So which other brands are feeling the pinch? Have you noticed yoghurts becoming more watery, or toilet tissue less plush? Please post your suspicions below the line, and we will try to find out which ones - if any - are well-founded. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah, a 0.2% change isn't going to matter that much to a piss weak ale anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah, a 0.2% change isn't going to matter that much to a piss weak ale anyway. Remain as unconcerned when more do it, perhaps including one of your faves. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Great. Remain as unconcerned when they all (apart from Carlsberg Special Brew) do it then. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah, a 0.2% change isn't going to matter that much to a piss weak ale anyway. Remain as unconcerned when more do it, perhaps including one of your faves. Cool. Then I won't drink it any more. Funny that, being able to choose things. I agree. Fave things becoming rubbish, and less choice ROCK!!!! More of that! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I hope they do that to Aki Aji this year. And similar brews. It'll mean I can choose something else that is not quite as good as Aki Aji used to be. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 So you choose something else and the breweries may realise they screwed up and go back. If not, then it's their loss. Happened to Coca-cola when they changed their recipe. Link to post Share on other sites
