So today i was looking at the label while drinking a Frijj Chocolate milk shake. Am i imagining things or should they not be 500ml? It said 471ml i am sure they were not this size last week.... can anybody confirm if they were 500ml just a few weeks ago?

    I thought they were 500ml too. Don't like them as much as i used to, seem to be thinner in consistency.

    I bought one last week and it is 500ml. I still have the wrapper with the Thorpe Park offer on it.

    Tesco are still seliing them as 500ml just had a quick check as in the midst of an online shop. If it is right then maybe another brand going down the less product for the same amount of money route and hoping people won't notice. Last one I had was one with the Thorpe label as well and it says 500ml as well.

    Yes I agree, and they're not such a nice flavour either.

    I think it's the limited edition ones that are 471ml. I had a chocolate honeycomb flavour today and it was 471ml.

    I looked on Tesco and all but one was 500ml. The one that wasn't was "New". Not sure if that is the limited edition type you're talking about.

    On ASDA they're out of stock. I wonder if the 500ml are the remainder of old stock and when the new stock comes in it'll be the reduced size.

    The banana one i bought today from Asda was 471ml too so cannot be just the limited edition ones.

    I bet they keep the price the same, even though there is less quantity, or even worse, put the price up if they are branding them as "new".

    That's strange, I've got a banana one that I bought this morning in Morrisons. I've just looked at it and it's 500ml, use by date of 5-10-12 so bit of a mystery.:confused:

    I only ever get these when they're on offer but now they're smaller and won't be reduced in price I won't be getting them any more. Chocolate fudge brownie was my favourite. :mad:

    I'm sure it is more the fault of our supermarkets that this happens.
    They get more shelf space and thus more profit per square meter of store size.

    International filter coffee = 250 grams
    UK brands filter coffee = 225 grams.

    I must admit that Frijj is about my favourite mid exercise energy drink.
