I'm not normally one for low fat versions of things we should ideally avoid, but for a party buffet I wanted a pack of small cakes. Everything else was massive, so I moved to the ww section. They had packs of 6 2 point cakes, packs of 6 2.5 point cakes, and finally I spotted some 1 point cakes... in a pack of nine! Looks like ww take a leaf from the rest of the industry there, if it's better for me I can eat loads. They should be well aware of the likes of trigger foods, treats you'd like but cannot have around. If not for a party, what would I do with eight more cakes? Why more in a box because they are smaller, that's the point!
Part of WW is behavioral change. If you can't eat just one, don't buy them. Or buy them, eat them all and count them all. If you are buying dessert for a party buffet they sound like the right size box.
If someone wants to eat 8 cakes they will buy however many boxes they want.
I buy a six pack of beer, but I don't drink it all in one sitting. An alcoholic might, but then again, selling beer in a 4 pack isn't going to make them not an alcoholic...
But what I mean is 8 cakes will go off! I don't want to buy 9 cakes even to eat one per day for 9 days. I don't want to eat one a week for 9 weeks. I don't want to have to buy 9 cakes for a 1 Point cake when all 2 Point cakes are in packs of 6 - why the extra ones in the 1-Point packets? I don't mind the fact they are in packs of 6, what annoys me is if you want the very lightest ones you have to actualy UP the count from 6 to 9... why? Why not just sell ALL cakes in packs of 6 if 6 is the size of pack you sell your cakes in? I'm gonna have to get myself 8 friends, it seems.
why not just buy some fruit for dessert. seriously, getting this worked up over the servings of cake in a box does not seem like a productive use of your limited energy.
It's about attitudes, not cakes. That in modern life if you want something small you must have more of it. That everything comes in massive pack sizes, and something that is supposed to be about weight loss and healthy choices then follows the same train of thought. Big cakes, you'll want 6, small cakes, better have 9 because they are small. It's the whole world, not just cakes.
Incidentally, fruit is, if anything, much, much worse.
I guess those are the perils of convenience foods. If we want the convenience of having pre-portioned pre-made snack cakes, then the trade off is that they come in multiples. I like the idea that a previous poster had of throwing them in the freezer.
I'm also curious why fruit is worse. I'd rather have a fruit salad for dessert than the snack cakes with preservatives and artificial sweeteners.
WW product pack size gripe
Eh, I guess that's why I cook my own foods. So I don't have to feel worn out and betrayed by the whole world, not just cakes.
