 | | Companies profit on 100-calorie snack packsThe latest snack fad: offer less, charge the same or moreBy Keith Shaw
07.10.2007 My argument is that the snack-packs, which put snacks in 100-calorie packages, are helpful for dieters and others who just want smaller portions. Jeremy argues that you could just take a regular package of the snacks and distribute the standard snacks into little plastic sandwich bags, pay less, and get the same results. True, but all of that takes a little bit of effort, and we both know how much effort Americans generally exert when it comes to snacking. That debate aside, it turns out those snack-packs are very profitable for the snack manufacturers as well, according to this New York Times article. This may explain why store shelves continue to see more of the 100-calorie snack types, not less. Unlike the low-carb craze of a few years ago, I think the 100-calorie craze will stick around, especially if it makes money for the snack companies. |
