It's not the size but the shape. I buy their products so I'm quite familiar with them and I can see how the new shape gives them more shelf space. Remember, they wanted to keep it at 300 g, but they couldn't find a company that manufactured the bags they need in the shape they need except at the 10 oz. size, even though the company is in Korea. These are metallic bags that can stand up and the bag is placed in boiling water to heat the food. Our beef should not be with Tasty Bite but with the company that makes the bags. But then, I'm sure they're just responding to the demand they get. So it all comes back to getting more companies to manufacture in metric sizes. Tasty Bite does not do enough business to get the Korean company to start making 300 g bags in U.S. shelf sizes, but if enough companies, especially large ones, demanded it, I'm sure they would. This isn't going to happen until our government reignites the metric flame, and unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon.
