New But Not Improved

We drink a lot of tea at the Riggs Residence. So much so that we actually have two of these and they're usually full. We recently noted that Twinings had changed their packaging, and I opined that this was usually not a good thing as it meant we were probably paying the same amount of money for less product. Sure enough, the old boxes held 25 tea bags each, and the new ones only package 20 per box. That's a week's worth of morning office tea, just gone! This sleight-of-hand redecorating scam is standard when it comes to the packaging of yogurt and many other products, so it's not surprising, just disappointing.
