Amazing how short rolling your customers
may generate profits for a company and its management and shareholders. Clearly Americans love to pay more for less and herein lies the value in the PG investment. Just reflecting on how far we have come with product quality and customer value. Interesting! "This practice is called de-sheeting. All companies in the paper-products industry do it when they want to raise prices without actually raising them." It could be fun for them to see just how small of a roll for how high of a price they can actually come up with generating the most profit for cost investment. How far can you go PG? LOL

The six old style roll contained 17.2 sq. m (187.5 sq. tr.) 250 2-ply sheets per roll.

The six new style roll contains 16 sq. m (173.2 sq. ft.) 231 2-ply sheets per roll.

The center tube roll is the same size and the overall roll is 3/8" smaller in diameter. The rolls do not feel as fluffy and soft and it is clear that at $18.99 per case that the price does not reflect a customer savings. What happened? We got shit on! There is no other way to assess the brilliant management decision to put one over on the valued Proctor and Gamble customers so as to squeeze out a little more profit for the rich and famous, the shareholders and ultimately, the management.



DON'T BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU FIND THAT THIS KIND OF MANAGEMENT TURNS ON YOU


PG IMO of course not intended as investment advice.
