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

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.:biggrinQuote:

Who the heck needs new tires,the old ones were still round.
That's a bargain for tires, yokohoma 8 plys cost us nearly 8 hunnert this past week. Some of her tires weren't round.Quote:

Uh Oh. I don't know which way our Moderator leans. But, this thread would be headed the wrong way in the off topic forum.

If u called the company to inquire about the number now in the can they are gonnt tell ya that it's packed by weight, not numbers. As long as it weighs what the can say's then it's ok. IMOQuote:

How much did it weigh when they were packed like sardines? I think they just stuffed as many as they could get in there back in the day!!! LolQuote:

That is the thing about this board. If a guy needs serious info (about anything), there is someone out there somewhere that knows what he's talking about. :highfive ie, the post about the weight.Quote:
