Corned Beef on a Foil Pouch

Tweet

I am on a rant here because I am so disappointed with this corned beef because of the amount of corned beef on their supposedly single serve pouch. I am talking about Swift corned beef, they sell it now in single foil packs or sachets. I thought because of the price, I would get my money's worth but I was wrong. I could not eat what my mom was going to eat because she had fish for dinner. I said no problem because I do have some canned goods in my pantry. My brother who lives abroad was the one who bought this corned beef in a sachet. So I assumed that one pouch would be enough for me. When I opened the pouch, all that pouch contained is about a tablespoon worth of corned beef. And I am not exaggerating because I was able to scoop it in my spoon. Are we Filipinos that poor that these food manufacturers expect us to buy a pouch for P24 (that's $.50) and eat it with a bowl of rice? Imagine people buying this pouch or sachet expecting that they can serve it to their family and all they get is a tablespoon worth. It's like I just paid for the packaging which is the foil pouch! If that is the case where the packaging is more expensive then, don't produce it! Have you ever had any experiences like this?
