I was in Homenase this morning and sudenly remembered I needed some
bulb
fibre. Looked around, none in sight. Asked girl at desk, who asked
another girl, consulted the computer and said they dont stock it or its
discontinued! Left store and in the entrance saw all the bulbs and
"Bulb
Planting Compost".


Why has it suddenly changed its name?


Went into local garden/pet shop in the high street and bought it there
(as bulb fibre!)


It's marketing doing what it can to create a new product without
actually changing anything but the name.

Or reduce the size

or as in the case of Wagon Wheels, increased the price AND reduced the size
:-((

I can remember when Wagon Wheels were the size of Wagon Wheels
.............. well almost.

Don't know how big they are now, but both my wife and I seem to remember
them being about three and a half inches across.

Any comments?

Anybody KNOW?

They have made Mars Bars smaller.
The only improvement that can be made to a Mars Bar is to make it
bigger.
