Bought a 24 can cube of Jack Daniels and Cola to take away for the Barrington trip, and thought I was getting it for a pretty good price (well reasonable anyway).  When Penny pulled the first one out of the fridge and commented on the size, I noticed that they were only 330ml cans.

How long have they been doing this?  Maybe I've had my head in the sand.

LOL!  Don't you know they (all of them) have been downsizing product size for ages ... yet charging the same prices ... apparently for our own good (read:  they're profits) ... aren't we all as fat as now?

Smaller cans just means more trips to the fridge. >:(

Easier to buy a block of Coke & a 700ml bottle of snake bite. Take a swig out of the can & refill with firewater. Best 2stroke you will drink. :cheers: (hic)

We normally have a pretty good supply of home brewed bourbon from Penny's Pop, but we haven't been to visit for a bit too long now and have run out of stock.  A milk crate full of bourbon bottles goes a long way.

Costco do that trick with their soft drinks & you think you are getting a good price until you notice they are 330ml cans
cheers

i prefer to take away pre-mixes when i go camping, but drink make ya owns when I'm home

as pre-mixes i prefer to drink from Glass but since they cost at least a $1 more per drink and they are only 330ml compared to 375ml cans i slum it.

Not into JD but the Cougar cans i took away with me this weekend are still 375ml

Just ditch the coke and put the JD in a glass with some ice - coke is bad for you  ;D

I'm always baffled why more dont do this.. Yes it doesnt look as trendy to keep pullin out cans, but where is the line!

I got quoted $80 for a carton of Smirnoff cans the other night, or $40 for a bottle and $4 for mixer.

Shove the can in a Myswag cooler & most wouldn't know what you were drinking anyway. :cheers:

They'd know it wasn't soft-drink if it was in your Myswag cooler.   ;D ;D
