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.
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.
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.
when they were putting all them little small one in a can, was when they were catching them at NIMROD !!!!!!!!!!!!
sounds like beach clift sardines. opened a can tonight and there were only 3 in it. some of them are big as perch now. booth sardines have bigger sardines now too.
I wonder what happened to the other half of the fourth sardine?:dono
[QUOTE=Cmj;2036606]What are you talking about? Our economy has improved DRASTICALLY in the last 3 1/2 years according to our good ole prez..........hahahahaha....LMBO!!!!!!!
Oh man! Thanks for this thread guys. I needed a good laugh.
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.

Just sayin. :dono
U r right. Not everyone feels the same as me so i will digress.

I started to call them up and raise cane about the numbers in the can, but found it's much more fun to fuss about it on the crappie forum:Rofl Plus, I'm probably not considered a high profile customer since I've only purchased 2 cans in the last 40 years and my goal is to not purchase another can for 40 more years.
The can yesterday had 3.5 sardines. The can today had 2.5. I'm thinking about buying another can and holding the first ever canned sardine tournament. Best weight for 7 fish wins.
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!!! Lol

and they were much smaller back in the day.
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.
Sounds like hudnut has the inside on this tourney. Wonder if he would share coordinates?
I wannabe on hudnut's pro staff. Lmao
