Disadvantages: A BIG RIP OFF SINCE THE NEW BOTTLE - LESS LIQUID FOR MORE MONEY!

I have used Fairy liquid for years because I find that it lasts really well and it cleans much better than many other brands. It is really thick, so a little really does go a long way, because it is so strong I have always had to use rubber gloves to avoid ruining my hands, but apart from this I have always been very happy with it up until today…

When I went to my local supermarket to find my usual bottle of Fairy anti-bacterial, I noticed that both the bottle and the price had changed, but being in a hurry I picked up the new bottle and put it in my trolley anyway.
When I got home I thought nice see-through bottle, interesting shape … then it dawned on me, looking at the shape of the old and the new bottle together, they couldn’t possibly hold the same amount of liquid could they? My worst suspicions were confirmed when I checked the back of each bottle, the old bottle contained 500mls and the new bottle contains 375mls.

What an outrageous rip-off, 125mls less for 9p more and they think that they can fob us off with a fancy bottle? Don’t they credit us with any intelligence? Do they think that we will say never mind about the 125mls the new bottle is really nice?! I don’t think so! 125mls is a substantial amount, do you realise that you have lost a quarter of the old bottle? AND they want you to pay for this privilege? I am so annoyed about this rip-off that I am not going to buy this product again unless they sort it out! I will switch to another brand of Anti-bacterial liquid in protest - I’m sure that Persil is just as good! If we all boycott Fairy then maybe they will get the message! We aren’t as easily fooled as they think!

I don’t care about the bottle - I want my 125mls back!

#UPDATE#
Since I've opened the new bottle I have also noticed that the liquid is a lot thinner and runnier than it used to be, so it will be used up much quicker than the equivalent volume o
f the old liquid. It smells really nice, but it is a completely different product and much inferior to the old stuff. It is a complete rip-off and I still want my 125mls back!!!!!
