Packed like sardines don't mean what it did a few years ago.

There wasn't but 3 and a half in the can I bought today. They tasted just like the last ones I had about 40 years ago. I thought I remembered a whole bunch in the can wedged in like.......sardines:dono

Times sure are changing.

Lol that's funny right there. I don't care who you are. But your right the times they are a changing that's for sure.

What were they packed in?? Used to be they were packed so tightly because the sardines were cheaper than the oil in which they were packed. Fewer sardines meant more oil needed to fill can. either the oil is higher or the sardines have gone up.

Packed in mustard. Now I gotta go buy another can packed in oil to see if you're right. You know they are for all of us non-fish catching folks. Pics will follow.:biggrin

Just another indication of a tough economy rotfl

Yeah, and I bet the can of 3 sardines cost more than a can that was "packed like sardines" used to cost. Y'all bought one of them rotisserie chickens from Wally World lately? More like a quail than a chicken. And they're $2 more.

What are you doing eating chicken. Carol said after the next 2 weeks it's gonna be beans and sardines everyday.:biggrin

Funny you should mention that. I heard her tell the Chicken Clerk today that she had $.69 postage due, but didn't have it. So she went and found it, and told me that it came out of your "new boat" fund. Don't be too hard on her, my wife does the same thing. Only instead of $.69, it was $564 for tires. Who the heck needs new tires,the old ones were still round.
