Yeah, I'd say half the liquor stores I frequent. I rarely buy sixers anymore and never buy a sixer of something I've never had before. Too risky.
Haha - me too. Sounds sad but a sixer is a lot of commitment for me when I only want to try one. Wegmans has a build your own 6 pack rack. It is great because they do rotate stuff in and out. I remember they had DFH 120, 90 and 60 in there (9.99 a sixer). I was like, man that is cheaper than buying the 4 packs of some of those. Great way to try lots of stuff.
BTW, I dont see people bitching when they get 750ML rather than 22oz.
well... that is because a 750ml is about 25 oz, which is more than a 22oz
I think your missing the point of this thread. If I pay a premium price for a beer, I get to ***** about missing .8oz.
I have seen products, not just beer, shrink in size by weight over the past several years, yet the price has stayed the same or in some cases risen. From soap, to prepackaged foods, etc. There was a time when Labatts blue was never offered in 11.2oz. I know because that was mostly what I would buy for my everyday beer through college. I also lived up near Canada and we went up there all the time to visit because it was a 30 minute drive. Molson, Labatt, etc., was all in 12oz bottles, in Canada (this is since I was 18 years old, which was the age to drink legally up there)! 14 years later I see it in 11.2, which means that they changed the way they were packaging it.
Clever packaging saves companies money. Perhaps this isn't the case with beer but I don't believe it. Like I said, my buddies who live in Spain, Germany, Scottland and England have told me the common size growing up was 500ml. Just as easy to make 355ml bottles vs. 331ml.
