Packaging
It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were be- coming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the senator rightly complained of a store - bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.
The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4 - ounce, 8 - ounce, one - pound, and two - pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible sizes and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by end- less changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product’s market position.
When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from 1 dollar to 250 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5 - ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average family pays about 200 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars, and other, containers, most of which can’ t be used for anything but stuffing the garbage can.
Consumers are concerned about the changes in the package size. mainly because ______.
选项
A、this entails an increase in the cost of packaging
B、they have to pay for the cost of changing package sizes
C、the unit price for a product often rises as a result
D、they hate to see any changes in things they are familiar with
答案
C
解析
文章全篇谈论的都是包装上的欺骗行,为,包装的大小、设计,其耗费全都转移到消费者身上。因而消费者关心包装的变化,包装一变,产品单价也就变了。这一点在文章第二章的开头有明显提示。故选C。
