They'll just make the tray heavier ๐ค
They can, but it wouldn't matter. The weight on the packaging is the weight of the product in the package, not the package itself.
Is packaging material actually cheaper by weight than candy?
That would be fraud. There are legal requirements for this.
C'mon man, you're almost there. Make one more connection
The type of packaging is not regulated by shape or size. I am not making the claim packaging shouldn't be regulated, just that comparing weight and price ratios will help you not be tricked by this.
Oh, so that's the problem. You don't understand the point of the conversation
I guess I have, I thought this post was criticizing the deceptive packaging.
Yes, and criticizing is not the same as 'getting tricked by'
Then how did they open the package?
