We shouldn't have to pay premium prices for LC products. I guess we just have to wait until more companies realize that's what comsumers want. |
The irony of it all is that they don't even need to pay slotting fees, this kind of stuff is flying off the shelves -- in Canada -- even at premium prices and in hard to find locations.
Consider ALSO making your very specific wants known to the Grocery or Service Managers in your regular stores; they in turn lean on their big distributors who lean on the manufacturers. THEY get listened to and THEN the companies will realize what consumers want...
I've been doing this for some time, in writing, right at the service desk of the grocery store while I'm there picking up other things. A year ago it got pork rinds back on the shelves for the first time in 8 years...
