Complaining has always been something rather easy for me to do. This ability may be good or bad, but I believe it all depends on who you ask. Sometimes when we realize that something is not normal, many of us will not stand up and say what we believe. This is mainly because we are either afraid, or don't want to be "that person". I usually try my best to avoid ranting about things that bug or irritate me. However, when something really gets me going, it is very hard for me to stop.
When grocery stores advertise products as being, "Family Size," I and most others shopping expect these items to contain much more of the certain product. Yet, they do not. The bag or object holding the product is instead filled half way, if that. Nearly fifty percent of the bag is filled with air. This makes me rather angry because the company is trying to convince the average buyer that there is really more product. The "Family Size" could easily be transferred into either a large or medium size and be full. No confusion, and the consumers don't have to check the price per ounce tab which most people would need a magnifying glass to see.
I know there are many people just like me who rant about this exact grocery product placement decision. Nonetheless, most will not say anything to the store or company because they are fearful or feel as though their power is nonexistent.
