Respected dimers! While having a talk at a supermarket, my friend mentioned that small sachets have less quality over large packets like BRU coffee's 2 Rs Sachet gets least quality coffee powder compared with 250/500 gms. He said it is almost common. Is it true?

Not Sure About Bru But In Horlicks 5rs Packet Gives Average Taste While 500g Jar Horlicks Gives Excellent Taste.

In Cadbury Gems 70rs Round Shaped Plastic Box Has Excellent Taste While 2rs/5rs/10rs Gems Pack Gives Average Sugary Chocolate Taste

The companies design packaging and colours, fonts, images for big packets more attractive so that people visiting supermarkets buy that exclusively. Clever marketing.

Quality remains same mostly.

Quality depends on variety or ingredients used.

If both coffee are same, then very less chance it will be Different.

Yes, possible if old or new packets, depends on environment temperature it was stored.

Actually it the opposite for the most part.

The small packets of products usually have more quantity in comparison to their large packets/bottles.

This is because,
1. People don't want to spend money on large quantities unless it's value for them.

2. Not many people can afford to buy in bigger quantities. This is mostly why small packets exist.

3. More quantity is provided in small packets to make them appear value for money

For example, shampoos

Most shampoo brands these days have 2rs, 4rs packets. They also have their bottles. If you take time to compare the price,

The small packets will have more quantity in weight compared to the bottles for the same price.

These small packets are how most people started using shampoos.
Tresemme brand positioned themselves as a high end salon brand when they debuted. They were not used by the common people. But now they also have small packets, giving access to most of the population.

Which translates to more sales.

But at our home, our family members like the taste of the coffee made from small packets. Seems it has to do with the chicory percentage

I don't think thats quality difference. I always prefer coffee and items like pickles and sauces in glass bottle/jar as it feels more fresh and retains original flavour for long time.

Its not possible to prove it. Difficult to determine "quality" even through lab tests because its subjective. .

Sir, his query is about 'quality'.

His friend told him that there are different 'batch' and different production for items in large packs.. versus items in small packs.
Meaning, as per his friend, companies or their contract vendors 'knowingly' make inferior versions of the product (which are then diverted to smaller sized packs).

I am not saying it. The friend of NobiNobi is saying it.

Thats true, you can surely check the manufacturer for different SKUs to understand the difference, but cant challenge that legally.

May be it depends on products.... I always find haldiram's 150gms bhujia packs are more crunchy and tasty when compared to 1 kg packs...

I doubt ki quality main fark hota hai though would love to stand corrected.. 

Agar aisa hota ya hai to koi case thok ke companies ko bahut mushkil main daal sakta hai.

Maybe this bias came from the belief: "The larger the better"😜

I don't think so, because companies make these small packs as a trial product, so that the people who never tried their product can try using these small packs and if they like then they'll buy larger packs later.

So, it is very important for them to maintain high quality in those small packs.
