Food Inflation Kept Hidden in Tinier Bags
In every economic downturn in the last few decades, companies have reduced the size of some products, disguising price increases and avoiding comparisons on same-size packages, before and after an increase. Each time, the marketing campaigns are coy; this time, the smaller versions are “greener” (packages good for the environment) or more “portable” (little carry bags for the takeout lifestyle) or “healthier” (fewer calories).
But it gets even more insidious:
Bags of Doritos, Tostitos and Fritos now hold 20 percent fewer chips than in 2009, though a spokesman said those extra chips were just a “limited time” offer.
Dicks.

‘Attridge & Cole’ can be found around the city serving hand crafted coffees and pastries from our lovingly restored Citroen H Van. A classic French commercial vehicle, it is fully equipped to serve you the finest cup of coffee.
Look at the grill on this beast. It’s the Road Warrior of all mobile food trucks. /via

Reminds me of the lack of central air in our Frostburg houes, it was never a problem until I lived there for a summer. A very hot summer. /via

Q&A with a food truck owner
Favorite question:
Q: When are you going to serve beer?
